This is scratchboard with some digital coloring. I had never done scratchboard before, and I now know that I really like it. It took a while to think negatively (drawing the whites on black instead of blacks on white), and this illustration shows that, but I want to try more and more to get better. I really love the dramatic effect that is super easy to achieve. Chris Gall is an incredible illustrator that uses scratchboard with the computer for collage of color and cleanup.

Thanks, Natalie, for the comment before I was done posting. That is service!
