Whoa, they don't let you use knives for scratchboards at school? I remember back in junior high and high school I did a couple scratchboards and we had exact-o knives and those specialized scratchboard tools.

I used the shiny silver scratchboard so all attempts to take a picture of it or scan the thing ended in failure. xD

OT: This looks really good, though. I honestly couldn't find the mistakes you were talking about.

well, i'm too cheap to buy a $6 scratchboard knife... just use a $1 whittling knife i got in china... so yeah, they security guards would get mad at me ^^"

Wow, the effect is all so amazing. Beautiful lined furs expressed. How do you do this? And might sound stupid, what's really a scratchboard?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ViTong4 In reply to mojunheem [2010-05-17 23:31:09 +0000 UTC]

its a plastic/cardboard/wooden board covered with a layer of light[usually white] paint then covered with a layer of black india ink. By sgraffito technique with knives, wirebrushes ... sharp objects, you scratch away the layer of ink to reveal the white paint underneath :3

scratchboard paper is pretty cheap... i got 10 for $7 ? and just use a whittling knife i got in Tsim sha Tsui for really cheap =3=

gawd i love shopping in HK lolol xD too bad i can't go this year :<

Haha, lmaoo. Good miscellaneous stuff sold in Hk all the time. I don't really do much crafting, is it possible to do the same effect on paper?
Oh yah, $7 hk or americano?
