Anthony Wardlow - Owl

I made an image of the head of an owl 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 owl’s head. Depending on the pressure of the stylus you can get different shades of white and gray. For the owl’s eyes I left the pupil black and iris I took all the black away. Using various shades of white to black created a 3-D affect.
