Playing with new textures and cut outs. This was a different way to build my illustration than my usual. The experiment paid off. Each new thing I try brings all kinds of ideas in my head for future illustrations. It's cool how after all the years I've been doing this, each job can be like starting new. The wonder of it all!

Hildarose. Don't chuck your wacom yet. I haven't used real scratchboard since art school.
I take my pencil sketch and invert it in photoshop so the lines are white. Then I bring it into Painter and put on the top layer set to screen so only the white shows to the layer under it. I give that layer about 20 to 30% opacity. The working layer under it gets filled black and I scratch around the dim white pencil lines. By turning off the eye on the pencil layer, I can see what it will look like when finished. Then when done I chuck the top pencil layer but never my wacom. Heehee. BTW the tool is under Pens and it is called scratchboard. I hope that helps.
hRose. No intrusion whatsover. I am always feeling that way too, yet I love when people come my way. So everyone know this. Go ahead and write. We are all in this together, right?
Yes, you nailed it! I too have been trying all sorts of new techniques, and it really does expand you and your ideas as an artist. Great post.
Boy, I really do dig your style! Rockin'!
