I think you don't need to add anything, it's beautiful! And it looks hurt like it was born out of misery. I can really imagine the blood dripping out after every cut you've made (sorry if that to much of an information to share...)

Ah! I found it. That really is a wonderful collection. I'm sad to say that the Beech was too rotten to use. The hemlock will make a few nice bowls though..I hope. Unfortunately the upturned roots just had too much dirt and rocks for me to cut through

Thanks, I haven't been too busy with scratchboard as of late. Been focusing on woodturning. No doubt I will get back into 2D art at some point.

very cool. i don't think i have the patience for scratchboard myself. You have some great textures and very effective gradations of value here, especially on the gnarly tree. it looks very three dimensional.

Thanks, Scratchboard can be a very Zen..almost hypnotic medium.I find the process very relaxing. The result is just a bonus. It's only tedious if you are anticipating the outcome rather than enjoying the moment. BTW, Thanks for the watch!

Lovely work, I love line art in all it forms. Personally I would leave it just as it is. "The ultimate refinement is not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left that can be removed".

Gosh! amazing - lino work came to my mind first, before reading your comment.
makes me wonder how to work with scratchboard - seems fun!
anyhow - your work turned out great!

Thanks, I appreciate it!
Scratchboard is great. You can use a brush, quill, sandpaper..the list goes on. If you try it I suggest using a quality board. Good stuff has a thicker coating of clay and allows you to work into it over and over. I use Esdee but I have heard that Ampersand is just as good.
Thanks for all the favorites

Great work,I'll have to look into scratchboard,don't know anything about it.

After looking at your gallery I'd say you will love it. You can use a quill, brush or even washes just like paper but then you can dig back in with a scratching tool...or sandpaper etc. It really is limitless. I suggest Esdee brand scratchboard. It's reasonably priced but accepts ink better than anything else I've tried. Great Gallery btw.
