Kristin: 67-68: black and white scratchboard

A couple more scratchboard drawings, but I tried a new technique. After drawing and scanning them in, I went into Adobe Illustrator and made a "live trace" which turned them into vector shapes. I like the way they look when they are enlarged, but am not sure about when they are small. I included the original pen drawing of the rabbit below for comparison.

  2. I've never done scratchboard. Looks fun. I'd like to look into it. I like both versions of the bunny...
