Scratchboard

This scratchboard technique, in which the dark must be removed to disclose the light, was undoubtedly a novel way of thinking. It taught me to take a fresh approach to the work and focus on each and every line to make it appear realistic. I discover that in order to properly design the contour of the figure, you must also pay attention to the direction of the lines. The primary goal of this project was to produce a realistic work of art that resembled my portrayal. 

I chose a photo that showed a lot of emotion to it to sybolize how tall we can feel when we get to the top of a long journey. I took this picture when I was visiting my brother in arkansa. I printed of the photo from my laptop where I turned it into black and white.

If I would have finish this I believe it would have been one of my best peices because I started of strong when I was first starting out but I eventually lost pashion for this project which is why I didnt finish it.
