Sketchboard

Artists statement. For this project we used scratchboards to recreate an image that we had, and make a value strip using the scratchboard and a special pencil knife like tool.

this project was pretty tricky, it was kind of hard to figure out what kind of strokes I was supposed to do, and also how dark it should be. The first step that I did in this project was find an image in my camera roll that would be useful for this project. Then I tried to make the proportions and get the basic outlines of the image on my scratchboard. when I was done doing that I then started making larger strokes and trying to make the shading right, which was really hard. It does look very sloppy and different, but it was kind of hard to learn how to do it when not in the classroom.
