Scratchboard Tutorialby ~Unibomber703

Scraps

First off, I am in no way, shape, form, or logic some kinda scratchboard guru. Most likely, my way of doing things is all sorts of screwed up to a true artisan of this craft. But there are no other tutorials for scraper/scratchboard, and it's too much fun as a medium to ignore altogether. I just wanted to share what I found out working with it.

Tool's you'll need for this:
Pencil for sketching out
tracing paper/ wax paper to transfer.
a SCRATCH KNIFE. It looks like a sharp shovel.
a PEN NIB HOLDER..to...hold your scratch knife nib.
Higgin's black india ink
A crappy brush to apply your darkest shadows w/ ink slightly diluted in water.
Scraperboard/ Scratchboard/ Clayboard- Available at a fair amount of art stores.
Soft paintbrush, to brush away scratched off bits.
Extra paper (if you're using the boards that are pre-inked), because human oils tend to make the scratchboard a bit more difficult to scratch if they get on the board.

I hope this gets others interested in trying this out. If you do some artwork you learned from this tutorial, be sure to send me a note or leave me a link to it!
