FAQs

Can you draw on a scratchboard?

Some artists prefer to lightly sketch the outline of their drawing with an art pencil, then use a scraper board cutter to create fine line details and complete their artwork. To add colour, we recommend using a colour pencil or paint with a fine tip brush. The option is up to you, get creative with it and see what works for your designs. 

 

How is scratchboard art done?

Artists use a scraper tool to scratch the black india ink layer off the surface to create detailed white lines. It’s considered the process of engraving, where a design is cut through the surface. Artists will use scraper tools to create small, fine lines that eventually create an image. 

 

What can I use for a scratchboard?

You can use anything that is sharp enough to scratch the surface, such as a needle, skewer, razor blade, tweezers and more. To achieve accurate and precise lines, we recommend using a scraper cutting tool. We stock all the supplies you need at Art to Art, at affordable prices too!
