Scratchboard
スクラッチボード / 19th century– / Technique / Hand-drawn
Scratchboard removes black ink from a white clay-coated board, drawing light and contour out of darkness; blade width, crossing and retained black create fur, metal and nocturnal contrast.
Sharp white lines cut from a black ground / Contour and highlight joined by the same blade marks / Crossed lines and dots producing middle values / Broad retained black with concentrated white detail
