Description
My old school gave us some art supplies but I left them alone for more than a year. This is my second attempt at using the scraperboards.The cat is my own design, inspired by Martin Toonder's work and the background is based on a photo of Venice by Carlo Ponti.
Next I am going to try the oil pastels.

I think it's really fun to work with the scrapeboards, though somehow I always get a creepy feeling over the pictures I try to make..
Yours looks much nicer

Thank you.
I don't know exactly how long it took because I worked with it on and off, to be specific while I was waiting for my computer to start /react. All in all, maybe four hours.

This is really good i like the cat and the background designs, it's a gothic kind of style.

It looks beautiful!
You got a really nice contrast with the black and white in this!
I don't have the patience to work with scraperboards XD

so is it hard to get scraperboard where you live?
cause it's impossible to find in both denmark and norway...and it's so fun to use:3

Yes, it is fun ^^
This was given to us by our school, but I know that the shop Kreatima has it in stock, where it goes under the name of "Skrapkartong". Maybe they do international post delivery, but if not I guess you will have to make a trip to Stockholm.

Ja, gΓΆr det ^^ NΓ€r skolan Γ€ndΓ₯ ger oss dem Γ€r det ju lika bra.

I love the background! I wouldn't know where to start on scrapeboard... I've never been too good with that kind of thing xD

Thank you!
I started with a sketch on the board and then scraped out the full white areas (which are the easiest).

Very nice, I'm nowhere good at that kind of stuff...

Have you tried the materials we got at school?
I sort of like trying new media, because when I know beforehand that I am going to make mistakes there is no pressure.

Wow.. that's incredible O.O
Love the feel between the cat and the (amazing) background <3

Thanks, I am rather pleased the picture works as a whole.

This is really nice!
I like how the cat's design is simple, it makes it stand out more from the relatively detailed background :]
I know I've never been really good with scraperboards, they're so hard to use!

Thank you!
Yes, I often wish there was some sort of eraser (or more aptly; a black fill-in).
