Anthony Wardlow - Dragonfly

I made an image of dragonfly on a 10 x 14inch scratchboard, a white clay paper with a layer of black India ink. Using a stylus pen I scratched away the ink to reveal the white underneath while designing the dragonfly. Depending on the pressure of the stylus you can get different shades of white and gray. I left the dragonfly’s eyes black and in the center body I scratched with a lot of pressure to give the body form. Using various fine white lines, I filled in the wings to recreate feel of a dragonfly’s win
