Digital Scratchboard
Posted on March 19, 2007 by Ujwala
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
Hi Ujwala!
