This is my first piece using scratchboard! I was so excited to get started on this one, but before I started carving into the surface I had to decide on a concept. Spirituality was a subject that I was interested in so I became interested in rendering what my spirit looks like. I read many books regarding personality traits and different aspects of life that determine the spirit animal that each person represents. My spirit animal is the elephant, having an elephant totem gives you ancient wisdom and power to draw upon. They are the embodiment of strength and power. People with this power animal often have a very strong sex drive. Through using fragrances and incense, elephant can take you to new energies and power. Generally speaking elephant people are very affectionate toward family, caring for the young and the elderly. They also usually have an inborn knowledge about plants and roots. Elephants give us insights into our inner power.
The process of making this was interesting because had to use a knife to carve into the black surface and then the white shows. So the harder I carve the brighter the white is.I decided to use a cross hatching method to imply depth and brightness for the light source.I enjoyed doing this and will be uploading a new more complex image with a landscape.
