The horse sound effects helped me understand that this was indeed a horse that you are drawing.

That's a good point. The power of scratchboard is the ability to scartch fine white lines into black. However, you can buy scratchboard pre-coated with black ink or uncoated (white surface). I almost always start with the white board. For areas of a drawing that have a value of less than 50 percent, I draw with an ink pen. For areas that are darker than 50 percent, I cover it with solid black ink and scratch out white lines (or dots and dashes) for detail.

I agree -- the music is not the best. I try not to use music that may be under copyright, and the music I can afford is not they great stuff we hear on the radio. This was one of my first videos, and since then I have found copyright free music that is of better quality. It's still not the quality of our favorite songs, but it's OK. I also lower the sound level now to make it less prominent. I know that a voice over would be the best sound, but my voice is even more irritating than bad music.

@MichaelHalbert1952 10 жыл бұрын

The biggest complaint most people have is that they clog up sometimes. Keep the cap on when you're not using them, and learn how to clean them. Other than that, they are technical pens that make a consistently even line--a mechanical line. Some people don't like them because they think they are too mechanical. I wiggle the pen when drawing to make the lines a little more random.

Insane... How do you keep such even space between lines? ..and how do you know so well where to put less lines to create three dimensional form so well? It seems as if you are a printer that already knows exactly where to print.

@lilyzeng5915 2 жыл бұрын

If you do something a thousand times, you will get consistent at it. Having a good understanding of three dimensional form is pretty much a must for artists, as although you draw on a flat sheet of paper, you try to create the illusion of form. This comes with practice as well and dividing complex forms into simple objects or understanding the anatomy of a horse makes it easier too.

This drawing style caught my attention some years ago when it appeared on an olive oil bottle. I liked it very mch but didn't know what it is called. I wished I know the name of this style so that I could find out more about it. I never got to know the name of this style until yesterday (20/Mar/24) when I saw a video about scratchboard painting (also from your channel). Now I know it's called scratchboard painting.

Michael, hello. Honest question here: can you make a living out of inking like this? Do you have other jobs or you do this full time? I am a designer who works with similar illustrations as a sidekick, but I'd sure love to make it my main job, not only part time. Thank you very much, and keep up the amazing work. I am a fan.

@gozinta82 4 жыл бұрын

@@jiegonzales7327 Not sure if you found a solution or not by now, but I used to do this in art school. The easiest method is to load the back of the paper w/ lead (use side of pencil for really wide strokes). Then, trace the art over again with a pen or something hard to drive the lead from the back into the paper you will be scratching. It will leave an imprint, but you have to trace all of the lines on the front-side of the art as if you were inking it. Hope that helps. @D Dub @Luis Acosta
