hi Everyone
thought I would ask all the fabulous Scratchboard artists a question regarding color pencil on clayboard
I am almost done with my ocelot and thought for my next project I would attempt using clayboard for my next project….since I am still very much a novice with using both the scratchboard and clayboard medium I was wondering how well does color pencil take to clayboard does it still give the same vibrant color as if I was drawing on Bristol or Illustration board.
thanks for any advice you can give me

There is no grit on clayboard and layering colored pencils is nearly impossible. I generally use ink or fluid acrylics to block in colors/forms and save the pencils for details. There are a few others on this forum that have used pencils more than me who could probably make some suggestions.
March 31, 2012 at 3:25 pm #1158890I LOVE color pencil on claybord. It is a bit more difficult than inks but I think it’s worth it. It helps to lightly sand the board with a fine grit before you start. that gives it some tooth. It also helps to crosshatch because the previously drawn lines also give it tooth. I try to keep my pencils as sharp as possible. I am not sure why that helps, but it does. Here are some samples of my pencil work on claybord.

If you're asking me for advice, I'm going to assume that you've run out of rational options.

thats some insane colored pencil work its awesome.
December 17, 2017 at 10:40 am #1158896These are fantastic!!! What brand of colored pencil if you don’t mind me asking? I want to try clayboard but the prices of the boards are steep and it will have to work. I usually use a Bristol paper without tooth anyway and Prismas, FC’s some Inktense and others….
