Scratchboard

The subject of my creation is a disabled sea turtle swimming around in her enclosure, I made this work with a scratchboard, pointy utensils, and my black and white image. I chose to create this specific artwork because I want to continue making art projects that are related to the ocean, and I really liked this picture of the sea turtle.

I am not really sure what the name of the techniques are in this artwork so I'm not sure how to describe them but I did use some techniques within my drawing. My project didn't evolve in anyway I stuck with my first plan and kept going.

The meaning behind this artwork is that I really have a fondness for the ocean and I enjoy drawing anything that is related to it. This project relates to my life because I saw this sea turtle in person and took the picture of it myself. I think the right side of the scratchboard could be stronger in detail wise but other than that I am really proud of this art project.
