Scraperboards

Offering a completely different illustration experience, scraperboard is a process of scraping or scoring into a black or white board to reveal the negative tone, and gradually the image is created. 

The scraperboard is made from a simple construction of a layer of white China clay on a backing board, coated with black India ink.  We also stock the inverse of this variety of scraperboard with black clay and white ink, giving you a varied choice of illustration boards to choose from.

Scraperboard has been a very popular material with newspaper comics and graphic novels, and has seen an increase in popularity in recent years as it offers a completely unique drawing surface.
