Description My third try with scratchboard, and I'm getting quite used to it

When I saw that great photo, I couldn't resist to use it!

I really enjoyed working on that, though it was really hard work to make a proper scan

I used an EssDee Scraperboard, scratch knives and mostly a scalpel. Size is 22,9 x 30,5cm, and it took me a bit more than 8 hours.


Thanks a lot to for letting me use her awesome shot as a reference!

Thanks a lot for your pleasing critique! I feel very honoured!

I added in the description the materials I used, ( I didn't even knew the brand until you asked me ) though the ref was already there before [link] .
I think I really have to revise the ear, you were not the first that adressed this.

Thank you very much again!

Oh, you even have scratchboard work! I love scratchboard, it's so amazing what people can do with negative space! You're very talented and I love this!

Stupid people... should turn on the mature content filter if they can't handle nude drawings...
Hope there'll be no next time, but a journal would have been fine

i can't even get over how awesome this is...
how the hell do you get everything so perfect on scratchboard?? do you just mark it out really lightly or do you use something else? or do you just....do it? which i would find remarkable if you said that haha

how do you get the proportions right without marking it first?
you're just crazy lol. in a good way

i have seen hers before, she is AMAZING!

Ileina In reply to robdolbs [2012-01-30 18:34:35 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, well I do kind of marking.
I put a piece of paper on the board and make my sketch with a biro, with enough pressure to leave light marks on the board.

haha i know, it took me a while to remember as well. i guess the problem is that there are less letters in it than we think there are lol.

next time i go to the art store i'll get a board!
