scratchboard

We were asked to create a recreation of a photo on scratchboard. My scratchboard is of a net lying in the bottom of the lobster boat my grandfather is restoring. Fun fact: The boat has sunk twice before. I created the scratchboard with a scratch tool and a piece of scratchboard. I used the element of value to create this piece. There wasn't any major changes that happened while I was making this. The story behind this was that there was a net lying in the bottom of the boat and thought it would make a cool picture so I took a picture of it. It doesn't really relate to my life too much but it is a picture of a family thing. I am proud of the net and the boards because they look pretty close to the picture. I struggled with making the net but I just ended up making lines going in the direction of other lines on the picture and it ended up looking pretty close to the photocopy. I would redo the board above the net because it is way to scratchy in my opinion.
