Transfer image to scratchboard using tracing paper.
*This transfer process is the same thing you used when transferring over the inspirational painting you did earlier in the year.
- Hold the tracing paper up to the image (tape it in place if you can)
- Use your graphite pencils (B or 2B) Trace the contour lines of the work.
- Take the tracing paper down when you are finished and use your 4B if you have it (the softer the better, if you dont have one just use a regular pencil)
- Cover the back of the contour trace with a thick coating of graphite
- Take tracing paper and lay on top of scratchboard (tape it in place if you can)
- Use your graphite pencils (B or 2B) Trace over your contour lines firmly. (pressing and transferring the coating of graphite from the back of the tracing paper onto the scratchboard)
- * Remember to lift the corner of the tracing paper to make sure it is transferring before you lift/move it.
- This will not be very dark but it should be enough to get a general sense of layout and proportion of your design.
Start the actual artwork
- Scratch with the tool (you can also use other things to scratch)
- Try to get as many details as you can as you develop your art.
- USE LIGHT LITTLE MARKS not heavy dark scratches.
- Notice the highlights and shadows.
- Build up the highlights
* Remember when you use the scratchboard what you scratch is the highlights, the parts you don’t scratch will end up as the shadows.
