Had some time on hand and did not want to do the painting exercise I’m meant to 
Decided to try out something new digitally. Made a scratchboard and erased out a friends portrait. Need to do a few more before I get the hang of reversing the lines.
Along with my art resolutions I’ve made a personal one to lose some weight. I’m hoping to start walking a couple of times a week starting today. Wish me luck!

I really like this and I like your line work. I haven’t tried my hand at this before…it looks interesting.

Very nice! Looks like a lithograph.
thank you Ronell. one of the things i love about digital art is that there is no setup and no clean up time involved
thanks Anil. wonder why i didnt think of something like this for the litho or etching exercises that i did.
Hi, I really enjoyed reading your blog. Was wondering if you
would like to add it to my directory? http://www.weblog-index.com
Thanks, Shelly
Lovely portrait! It’s a really interesting effect.
Thanks Felicity. I’ve been reading about scratchboard artists and thinking that it would be a neat thing to try and then there were two reminders recently. One was by a friends son who did something similar with crayons and he left me a very pretty picture and the second, the Crayola ad that Danny Gregory had a put up on his website – both made me want to try out a linocut or a scratchboard. This “support” was easy to prepare
