- Burrito Bouquet - Final
Stippling scratched to smooth out the texture on the hand. And this is the finished piece! "Cathy's Burrito Bouquet" Scratchboard, 5" x 7" - "Tale of the Tail" - more color
More color, but CJ's back still needs color added. - "Tale of the Tail" - color & scratching
I'm a bit "all over the place" at this stage with this drawing. I haven't scratched all the black ink yet, but I've started adding color with Pitt Artist Pens. - "Tale of the Tail" - early stage - ink & scratching
The start of a 3" x 4.75" drawing of a tiger cub, playing with his mom's tail. Reference photo courtesy of Erik Bowker. I've added ink with a technical pen & have started scratching. The lighter black areas are the scratched portions. - Jack 8 (Final)
Jack's finished portrait. 7" x 5", scratchboard with watercolor. Everything except the whiskers was scratched with a #16 X-Acto blade. I used a Slice ceramic cutting tool for the whiskers. The color in this image is more accurate than the previous one, it leans more toward magenta tones. - Burrito Bouquet - Detail Final

- Burrito Bouquet - Greyscale Photo
The reference photo rotated, cropped and converted to greyscale. I tweaked the contrast a LOT! I also printed the same version in color, and a less contrast-y version so I could decipher some of what I was going on in the photo (burrito vs wrapper vs plate). - Burrito Bouquet 8
Stippling over the linear scratches on Cathy's hand to soften the look. Splotchy, but it does the job of breaking up the lines. Scratching the stippling will soften the splotches.
