Scratch board, what a wonderful medium. Just one thing . . . dont mess up. The eraser doesnt exist in this world.
This is the first and only piece I have done on scratch board. I actually had the oppurtunity to experiment with this in high school. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much that I didnt finish it so I could enjoy it again later. No not really. I started this in 1998-1999, and hopefully I will get a chance to finish it soon.

This is still obviously a work in progress..lol. A good one though, hopefully the head will see the light of day soon so we can see the final product. Really like the rendering (scratching) of the shell.

Great start. Keep going.
love
it is beautiful what you have done so far, keep going!
The more I look at it the more I see that this could be considered finished. The head and back of the turtle is blurred and indistinct giving the impression that it's deep in murky water.
BTW: scratchboard can be fixed by carefully adding another wash of india ink over the area you're unhappy with. Be careful to match the color though. :)
wow - i almost thought this was a manipulated photograph, it looks so realistic! hope you will share the finished product with us someday.
Very cool scratchboard. I, too, thought it was an undersea photo.
I thought this was a photograph! great job!
