Artist's Comments

Alien vs Predator scratchboard ....as the title says!

I had this big sheet of scraperboard/scratchboard for two years and didn't know what to do on it. Then after seeing and faving another artists alien which was drawn on black paper, it dawned on me what I should use my sheet for. Last time I did a scratchboard was one of those pre-printed foil jobbies and I was about 15. So it took me 25 years to have a bash on my own! lol. :D

I used a red watercolour pencil to do the gun laser bit but apart from that it's all just scratched off surface.

Can't remember how long it took me, over 25 hours though. Oh and it's 24" x 18" in size. I need to get a better picture though, quite a bit of detail has been lost...

Oh and for those of you that don't know what scratchboard is, it's board that has been covered in a chalk layer then has a coat of indian ink over it, and you get a pointy tool thing and scratch away areas of the black coat revealing the chalk layer underneath. m'kay?

The detail is amazing! Great job Ruth! :thumbsup: Scratchboard is no joke. You have to make sure you take away the perfect amount of black and I think you did just that. The wrinkles and texture on the Predator's face is really well-done. :nod:
