Description

One of the projects that I did in drawing class was this. It took a very long time because of all of the lines that were in the elephant. I even had to work on it outside of school. Some deviants got to watch me scratch it over my web cam. Anyways this was done on an 8 by 11 scratchboard over about 15 -17 hours. Just in case you did not know a scratchboard is a piece of paper covered with black ink and then you use sharp objects to scrape the black off to get the white. The original picture was out of a National Geographic from late 70s early 80s. I tired to keep the image as sharp and original looking as possible. The original elephant was wet (trunk and feet) so it was kinda hard to make that apparent. Please look at it full size before commenting. Comments are always welcomed.
