Here is a simple step by step of my scraperboard technique. This is the initial pencil drawing of Gort an Choirce>>

Once I’ve transferred it to a piece of black scraperboard>> I begin scraping out the white areas

More white is gradually revealed……..

Adjustments made, the piece is now finished.

Happy New Year
