Stippling scratched to smooth out the texture on the hand. And this is the finished piece! "Cathy's Burrito Bouquet" Scratchboard, 5" x 7" - Burrito Bouquet - Greyscale Photo
The reference photo rotated, cropped and converted to greyscale. I tweaked the contrast a LOT! I also printed the same version in color, and a less contrast-y version so I could decipher some of what I was going on in the photo (burrito vs wrapper vs plate). - Burrito Bouquet - Reference Photo
Harold Farley's original photo. Thank you, Harold! - Burrito Bouquet - State Fair Ribbon
The State Fair Award of Excellence ribbon for this drawing is HUGE! The one behind it is the previous year's Award of Merit for a different drawing. - Burrito Bouquet 1
Transfer lines, some scratching and my experiment in the lower right corner to see if I could get the wood grain effect I wanted. To do that, I lightly scratched away the black with the flat edge of a #16 X-acto blade. It looked "scuffed" after that. Then I drew some lines at an angle, licked my finger and smeared the ink around. A highly technical process ????, but it worked!
