Artist's Comments
This is a scratchboard illustration of Jazz musician Carl Kress.
Something totally new and different for me. This assignment was the first of the reductive technique assignments I had to do for class. In reductive work, things are removed, rather than added like in pencil and ink drawings. So with that, I had to work negatively, removing everything from the scratchboard that was white in the reference photo. Aside from working negatively, I had to scratch out parts with a knife tool--something totally different from the usual pencil drawings. Surprisingly, the teacher said all students had the best results when working in this medium. I will definitely work more in this medium in the future. Done with 112 point scratch knife on black scratchboard. Reference image can be found here. Original photograph © William P. Gottlieb and The Library of Congress Comments OMG IT LOOKS VERY LIKE A REAL PHOTO FAVE!!!!!
Thanx (^-^)!
