I love feathery, furry textures a lot, which is why they appear in a lot of my work. It might be an addiction. Thanks!

This was done on scratchboard?? Whoa... Very nicely done. I like the contrast between the right and left sides. And a superb job on the feathers! I'm still in shock.

Thank you! It amazes me how many people are surprised that it's scratchboard. I honestly can't imagine trying to do a piece like this in anything else.

Ah, but you see, it is hard for some of us to believe it's humanly possible that you took such time and care in making every minute scratch to create this wonderful piece. When I first saw it, I thought it was pen and ink.

Keep it up!

I'm actually planning an 11X14 scratchboard piece. @_@ I can't imagine making all those tiny marks in such a huge 'canvas'.

Gorgeous! I always wondered what scratchboard is. I've seen many great works such as this one done on scratchboard.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

windfalcon In reply to worthgold [2009-07-27 22:18:25 +0000 UTC]

Scratchboard is a surface, usually paper or masonite, covered in a thin layer of white clay and then a thin layer of black ink. You scratch through the black ink to reveal the white clay underneath, thus creating white marks. You can also go over the white with black ink (though I try to do everything just with scratching the black away). The kind I use is the masonite-based scratchboard (made by Ampersand). And thanks!
