sgraffito

I drew this because I like fish, I also think sea life is cool. Plus I like how I made this because I think sea life is very cool.

First I let the clay dry and then I used scratchboard to design what I would draw. Later I carved the clay, I used mainly one kind of carving tool. I drew on the clay in pencil first to get the outline.

Then started carving my idea out. I originally only had one fish but added the second one to make it better and to add more white to the black ratio.

Later on I used the glaze, I used the brush horizontally then vertically then horizontally again to give it 3 even coats of glaze. I made sure to not get any one the bottom. Overall this was a fun project to make and to see everyone elses final sgraffito.
