What is Scratchboard?
Scratchboard or scraperboard is a technique where drawings are created using sharp knives and tools for etching into a thin layer of white China clay that is coated with black India ink. Scratchboard can be used to yield highly detailed, precise, and even textured artwork.
Scratchboard Tools:
Several tools have been created specifically for scratchboard; however any sharp implement will do.
Steps:
1. 2. Choose your animal photograph that will become the original. Draw the main outlines of the animal on 8 X 11 paper. There is no need to do details like fur or feathers on this paper---this is what the scratchboard is for. Tape the pencil drawing to the scratchboard.
3.
4.
Trace over the pencil outlines with ballpoint pen. The indentations are visible if you look at it under a certain angle of light. You may want to check after you make a few lines to be sure you are pressing hard enough.
Remove the paper and make sure all of your lines transferred. Use your scratching tools to make the white areas. Big highlights will require more scratching. Be gentle---Dont scratch too hard or youll go through the board. Make sure to do your scratch lines in the same direction as the fur or feathers in your original.
