You did a really fantastic job on the realisim on these. I especially love the birds.
And I've never heard of scratch art before, what do you do exactly?
Sorry for my ignorance. ^_^;;

It more or less (depends on what you want to do exactly) involves having a sheet of metal (bronze, copper, aluminum, etc.), covering it in ink, letting it dry, then scratching off what you want so the metal shows through.

It's not always metal. A lot of scratchboards now a days are clayboards; which is essentially the same thing; but no metal involved. They're the ones you normally buy in stores. Scratchboards allow for a lot of detail; just think of doing something in pen and ink but in reverse. Instead of making black marks you end up making white marks. It can be a rather tedious process, and the bigger the boards get, the more timely things go.
You can however now buy white boards and when you scratch into them you get black marks, but to me that rather well defeats the purpose of scratchboard.
I'm curious though, what tools do you use for your scratch art? I myself am fond of using a scalpel (super sharp, and very clean), and i'm wondering what other preferences may be?

Who, me?
I don't do any scratch art myself. (Though we're supposed to later in the year in art class.)

Or are these just drawn straight with the needle? I don't see any "underdrawing" at all. Very nice and clean.
