Scratch Art (updated: Cougar on Page 2)

Fri Dec 30, 2005 1:44 am

I've never posted any of my artwork on PPT so I thought I'd begin with some of my scratch art. I love doing scratch art because it's so fun (though a bit messy) and the finished product looks pretty spiffy.

Here's a chipmunk (black and white) and a pair of birds (black and silver):

I've got a few extra sheets lying around (I believe they're black and copper) so if you have an idea for the next drawing, I'd love to hear it!!

Those are amazing. I had never heard of scratch art before, but the definition I found fit what I was guessing it was very well.

That is truly some amazing realism. I even have to say that I think the bird are beautiful and that I like them best...and this is coming from a girl who strongly dislike/fears birds in general.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your art.

That's really amazing. If you could do a fox or something in copper, I think it would turn out very cool^^

I love the birds! They look so soft!

Nice attention to proportions and shading!

Those are amazing! I love the detail you're getting out of them

Seconding Amethyst's suggestion for a fox, because copper's the kind of colour which would suit it

Wow, those are really good!

Very nice.

I find scratch art a lot harder than just pencil/paper art- and I'd be wowed if you had done those on just regular paper. Fantastic.

I'm sure I've seen a kit to do these. I did a squirrel once. o_O

awesome job.

as for the next piece, you should do a duckie. that would be awesome, and probably easier then a stinky old fox

Scratch. Art. Is. Hard.

But you did fabulous with it! The detail is amazing, as well is the anatomy. You have a very good style working with it, natural and smooth.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm currently working on a cougar's head and I'll post that once it's done. A fox is a good idea so I may do that next.

Twinkle- Yup they do have kits with preprinted lines that you scratch off. I've done one of those before because my dad for some reason thought that's what I always used. :cry:

The ones I normally do are completely blank (like with those above) and I don't like the typical scratch art tools so I just use whatever is thin and sharp.

In that case, that's bloody fantastic! Do you do anything other than animals?

You know, I've never tried anything else.

I should most definitely experiment some time--perhaps with plants or a landscape? I'm not sure how well a person would turn out though (especially since drawing real people are my weakness).

I was thinking more fantasy creautres, like dragons, unicorns and fairies.
