Scratchboard

Artist statement:

I made a scratchboard drawing of a mountain ridgeline with clouds above and below it. I used all of the available tools for scratchboard, the red scratchboard pen, the brush and the fine-tipped pen.

For this project I used the grid method, so I gridded the reference image and the scratchboard to get a more accurate result. I didn’t really change or revise anything on my project.

My artwork would be stronger if I made didn’t change directions, because at one point I went from scratching vertically to horizontally and I think the change made the final product look much worse.
