for my scratch board I decided to keep it simple and draw gears when I first started with the one in the middle I thought I was going to make just one but once I saw it I decided to make multiply ones and also give them different looks so the piece wasn't so plain . After drawing them I felt like I needed to add the little lines and to make it even more realistic make some parts whiter than the other to give it a look of a glare.
My problems with the details were making sure my lines were actually neat and not sloppy as if I was just rushing & making sure they curved correctly in the circle formation . Each little piece surrounding the gears is what I felt like I was going to mess up on badly . if you look closely you can tell that some are taller and skinner and more far apart than eachother and that's what I tried to go over and make blend together better . I did the best I could to fix them but thy still aren't very proportional. The movement lines were the hardest for me bc I didn't want them to just be thing skinny lines I wanted to make them a little thicker in areas but the knife didn't really give me much control and sometimes I would slip up and have to take away more black than I intended .
Overall I think my drawing came out good . You can't really spot my mistakes as easily as I thought & I liked drawing having to use white and take the black away to create the picture . I'm always use to shading so doing this was something good to try and I hope to do more pictures like these and try things more difficult to draw .
