Blood Moon

I enjoyed working with scratchboard so much I decided to do another! I was inspired on the morning of the blood moon to do this one!

Here are some alternate versions I edited the colors on that I thought looked neat:

This was a scratch board piece done in Design I. I adore bats, and I thought the texture within their wings and their fluffy bodies would be fun to replicate! I also noticed a lot of big and small cats are used in scratch-boards, so I wanted to attempt an animal you don't see as much! I basically lightly sketched most of his silhouette in pencil, before going in and etching the rest of his details in.

This is an asymmetrical monochrome piece, which has stronger sense of unity to it. It lacks variety, but I didn't want to add to much background to take away from the bat itself!
