"Wolf Portrait" Scratchboard Illustration: A wildlife fine art project exploring subtractive etching, intricate cross-hatching, and value density. This piece utilizes micro-fine scraping tools to carve away a black ink surface, revealing the white clay layer beneath to simulate organic fur textures and skeletal structure. By precisely controlling line weight and spacing, it showcases an advanced command of dramatic lighting values and high-contrast realism on a delicate, irreversible physical medium.
