Mexican Folk Art

My Art Assignment: To re-create Mexican Folk Art using Scratchboard

This picture is terrible (taken with my cell)! But my Professor submitted it to be voted on so I have no idea when I'll see it again lol

I chose an iguana because I had an image in my head of what I wanted to do. First I sketched him, then transferred the sketch on to the Scratchboard. After the painstaking scratch process... I used neon permanent markers to give him tons of color. You can't see it with this pic, but I added color outlines, blends, and fades. This project took me a few weeks to complete because it was very tedious! But I am happy with the results :o)
