Scratchboard for illustration

Abstract

Scratchboard is a basic illustration technique that is currently undergoing a popular revival. This book presents the basics of working approaches and combinations of scratchboard with other media. There is a section on colour in what has traditionally been a black-and-white medium. Using work by well-known illustrators, the author also shows the range of styles possible in this medium and its different uses, from editorial illustration to portraiture to detailed technical illustration.
