This how-to-do-it volume explains all the basic principles of scratchboard, the lively drawing medium which involves cutting through a dark surface to reveal white lines or shapes. Scratchboard drawing is widely used in commercial art for the advertising and publishing industries; therefore, teachers, students, professional artists, and creative amateurs will welcome this instructive handbook which demonstrates the splendid results that can be achieved with this medium.\n\nCutler, who has been a successful artist in this medium for a number of years, instructs the reader on suitable materials and tools. The author demonstrates drawings, diagrams, step-by-step sequences, and ample text, how to choose a subject and develop a theme; how to ink and cut; how to render tones, light, patterns, planned and unplanned pictures.\n\nThe examples throughout the book, as well as the handsome gallery of scratchboard drawings at the end of the volume, include works by well-known contemporary artists, including Duty, Micossi, Metzl, Kumme, el al.\n\n\u003cb\u003eOut Of Print.
