(Lady Yesha B. Rodriguez)
SCRATCHBOARD DRAWING
•Is a form of direct
engraving where the
illustrator scratches
off dark ink to reveal
a white or colored
layer beneath.

knives and tools for
engraving into the
scratchboard, which is
usually cardboard covered
in a thin layer of
white China clay coated
with black India ink.
SCRATCHBOARD DRAWING
•It can yield highly
detailed, precise and
evenly textured
artwork.
•Works can be left
black and white, or
colored.
HISTORY
•Modern scraperboard originated in the 19th
century in Britain and France.
•As printing methods developed, it became a
popular medium for reproduction
replacing wood engraving, metal engraving,
and linocut.
HISTORY
•It allowed for a fine line appearance that
could be photographically reduced for
reproduction without losing quality.
•It was most effective and expeditious for use
in single-color book and newspaper printing.
HISTORY
• From the 1930s to 1950s, it was a preferred technique
for medical, scientific and product illustration.
• Virgil Finlay made detailed illustrations, often
combining scraperboard methods with traditional pen
& ink technique.
• More recently, it has been used for editorial illustrators
of magazines, ads, graphic novels, and one-of-a-kind
pieces of fine art.
TECHNIQUE
•Unlike many drawing
media, where the
illustrator adds in the
mid-tones and shadows,
with scratchboard the
illustrator is working by
adding in the highlights.
TECHNIQUE
• Unlike many drawing media, where the illustrator adds
in the mid-tones and shadows, with scratchboard the
illustrator is working by adding in the highlights.
• The illustrator can use a variety of tools to scratch away
the black ink from the board and reveal more or less of
the white clay that is underneath.
• Effects include stippling by poking the board with a
needle or blade; and scratching or cross-hatching using
a sharp blade.
