This is a new medium to me so I hope as I do some more i will be able to improve and Im eager to try putting colour into the work as well. My only problem is getting the materials as they are not sold over here. America is their home but shipping charges are so expensive, but ive been told there is one supplier in Germany so maybe they will be cheaper.

I hope you can find a cheap soloution. Probably someone on dA can help you.
You are doing amazing on it, you really should keep it up.

I will keep looking, one 11x14 scratchboard from the shop in Germany is going to be £25 with shipping!! I will have to save up In the meantime ive found some cheap lower grade scratchcard to practice on
