This is a scratchboard piece based around boxing. The point of this project was to convey movement using value and texture. Since the point of scratchboard is to take away the black instead of put it in, this is a difficult (and stressful) project to pull off. While, overall, I do like this piece, there are definitely problems with it. First of all, the foreshortening on the arms is wonky. His left arm is too short and skinny, and the right arm is too long. Granted, I don't have much experience with foreshortening. The second problem is minor, but I didn't actually finish the rope on the left side of the piece. I do like the texture on everything and I like how I showed the movement on the punch because it shows this isn't too realistic (if you couldn't get that from looking at his face). Overall, I think this is a good, but flawed piece. Still hate the sound of the scratching.
