This is fantastic, macabre and creepy. The details are amazing, and it's a great portrayal of Alice and the other characters. This is awesome!

Thank you! It was new for me to try something so illustrative. I'm glad you like how it turned out.

Do you use a white pencil to achieve those bright white areas and lines?

No, just erasing or leaving the surface of the claybord visible. I'd like to use white pencil, but I haven't found one that works well. Have you?

A clayboard, is that the kind where you can scratch at your drawing and white appears with the scratch? Anyways your amazing, whenever I draw a line everything around it gets smudged and I loose the bright white. I place a page under my hand and that still doesn't work. I think it's because I have no balance due to my paralysis I put a lot of pressure down in my hands to hold me up while I draw.

No, it's a hard board with a clay texture over it that is white, like a more resilient illustration board, so you can really dig into it with the eraser, and use water on it and not worry about it buckling or tearing. Ampersand Claybord.

Never heard of that board. Is that the board you used on the one you sent me?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. I started using it with the powdered graphite, because I use water to paint it on, and the illustration board was buckling. You can find it at most art stores or online.
