This is a beautiful piece. The character in his face, is well shown with the lines. I am a big fan of scratchboard and really need to get back into it. Keep up the great work.

Have you ever worked in clayboard? It's much nicer to work with than regular scratchboard paper. It's almost like butter on your scraper and it looks so much creamier. I think you are good enough at it that you really should work in the better medium. Excellent job!

this is a really great job. I have done a few scratchbords recently and it is much harder than it first appears to be. Very realistic.

The detail here is amazing. I have only one scratchboard piece, and I have no hand for it, my brain just doesnt see things that way. Excellent work!

Gee, this is just incredible. When I looked at it the first time (and the second time, and the third time, until I read your description) I though it was a really beautiful photograph. Now I know it is an even more beautiful scratch! You could have probably cropped it a little bit to leave out the blank space on the top, but that is just a minor detail. Who did you scratch that after?
Awesome work!

hehe, thanks! ya i wanted to crop it on the top, or even finish the rest of his hair/head, but my art teacher, who's like a drawing God to me said that it was finished.. and well, i'm not about to argue with a God..hehe :-D thanks for the comment.
oh, the picture was of some dude, i dunno, got it from a book.. it was an amazing photo to begin with, i just tried to draw it how i saw it. thanks again.

I think your teacher was right - I think it was good to leave out the rest of the head/hair, creates a nice atmosphere of even more mystery/scariness!
Thanks for your comments. If you like that, check out the ACME heartmaker . I just have to clean it up (making it a .gif screwed the colors up, of course), but thank you!

thanks! well, i saw this picture of that guy in a book, got some scratchboard from art class and scratched the black part away... scratchboard is really cool to work with.. it's just white thick paper coated in black ink that can be scratched off to reveal the white part... and viola, or "wahla" hehe, however u spell that... and there u have it..
thanks for the comment
