Scratchboard Illustration for Steamworks Beer Label
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- This video shows the process of doing a scratchboard illustration for a beer label. The label is for Steamworks Bar and Resturant in Vancouver. The concept of the drawing is taken from the Steam Punk movement, and James Ng did the conception drawing. Michael Halbert at inkart.com did the rendering of the finished illustration--he is the one doing the drawing in the video.
It's amazing how it goes from "pretty great drawing" to "omg that's impossible" as soon as you start doing the contour lines. I've been enamored with that style for years and have zero confidence to try it myself. Great work.
Magnificent... I love how your art is accessible just around the corner in a liquor store!!
This is so inspiring! Amazing!
I love watching you draw. You're incredibly talented.
Michael, I really love your work, you inspire me
When you begin your inking, while the blacks are still fairly heavy masses, your work reminds me of William Wallace Denslow, the illustrator for the original Wizard of Oz books! Later on, they look differently of course, but the resemblance just confirms to me that the composition is terrific and the drawing is very dynamic. Denslow's drawings show some of the best drawings of motion of that era.
Wow! Great concept and awesome artwork!
Great work!!!
Incredible!
Amazing!
Muy bueno, gran talento.
I'm just wondering why you chose to use scratch board when the black ink of the technical pen on top of the scratch board seems to be doing the same thing as scratching away the white layer to reveal the black underneath? Why wouldn't you use just use black ink on white paper? I guess there is a reason!
Love this!!! ...So I am trying it now but I am stuck on one step! -That tracing paper design transfer that you burnished onto the blank scratch board is somehow already mirror-flipped so when on the clay scratch board it appeared perfect and correct to the original sketch. How did you make that reversed translucent transfer? ...Was it simply a second copy hand-traced from the back of the original? Was it a computer scan, digital flip, and inkjet printed on tracing paper? Something else?
I burnish my sketch onto another piece of tracing paper and then transfer that to the scratchboard. I have a ball-bearing thingy that fits into an electric erase, which helps with the burnishing. Unfortunately, I don't think that attachment is available anymore.
Oh wow, thanks so much for clarifying, (and so fast)! This seems like a really cool technique within the other really cool technique and I really appreciate you sharing your secret recipes with us!! I'm now happily back to making my own variation of this method. @@MichaelHalbert1952
Hi! i love it ! very clean work! How did you transferred the sketch mirrored into the white scratchboard? Did you draw it from the back of the vegetal paper and then just push it ?
great job !! I love it
wow so beautiful
You use your other hand to make the one you're using to draw more steady and prevent you from doing wobbly lines, right?
This is so good! :)
Are you using a disposable Rapidograph pen? Love my 'old school' equipment, but always looking for improvement.
cool
wow nice work!
What pen is this and how much did it cost
You are God, man!
4.13 This is the scalpel? I understand correctly, it is for correcting white (paper)?
5:20 lol, nice cracked Koh-I-Noor barrel. Here's how not to screw on your cap...
I smiled when I saw the cracks, I have done the same myself :)
Do you simply scan this image on a flatbed to transfer it into a electronic format.
Does that wax paper have an *Undo* button?
It kind of does, it looks like any lines can be scratched away.
how long did it take you to finish the job?
l love you
nice
what kind of pen are you using when you start to ink?
Great technique. Should be called Pen and Ink on Clayboard, not scratchboard. 99% pen and 1% scratch.
What's the music that starts at 3:11?
this ^^^
Terraria sound track
Which?
What's the size of the actual beer label ?
What type of paper do you use?
I'm no artist by a long shot, but I don't think it's paper. Ink seeps into paper and can't be removed - the stuff he uses reminds of the material that 'for sale' signs on houses are printed on - so a scalpel or exacto knife can actually scrape away dried ink.
www.dickblick.com/products/ampersand-claybord/ I use Ampersand ClayBord, 1/8 inch thick, white.
What's this song?
I don't know. Got it from one of those free music sites.
It appears that this artist hasn't answered one question?
Why even post this if your not going to help others, who would like to try the same?
Скажи спасибо. И не требуй бо́льшего.
Guys tell me the name of the tool on 04:13
Am I the only one that knows the movie that this is based upon?.. : /
