Description
Ah man, time gets away from me really quickly these days. D: I meant to start uploading again a few weeks ago... Gonna give it another try I guess.In any event! This is an art project from last semester; it's a rear view of a deer skull with a chain looped over the bridge of its face and threaded through the eye sockets. I loved how the back of the skull looked like it could be the skull and face of some sort of alien in its own right. Wish I'd done a better job of placing the image on the paper--given it some black space above the skull, especially--but otherwise I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Black scratch board (about the size of printer paper), an exacto knife, and way too much time. xD Did the sketch on some notebook paper for symmetry's sake, transferred it over with some black pastel on the back.

Woah, the shading here is really stark and awesome! I can't believe you scratched this! D:

So. Much. Scratching. At one point I tried to speed it up and use sandpaper for those scumbled looking sections, but that didn't look right or match what I'd done so I had to stop. And at another point I tried using a wider blade to clear out the stark white sections, but at least in person even *that* looked different and lost texture...

Great thing about photographs of stuff is that you do lose a lot of the textures xD
