Huggable


This is a quick 5"x7" scratchboard I did in just a couple days. I have always loved red pandas - they look so cuddly (though I'm sure those claws would say otherwise). The goal of this one was to practice getting the color right, which took several layers.

I use Ampersand's scratchboard inks. They come in a set of five colors plus black. I scratch a bit lighter than usual, add some color, then scratch the highlights back in. This piece actually took three or four layers of color and scratching.
