I tryed playing with only two directions of strokes, and different line weight.

Wonderful, your technique gives the piece life and movement. I bet your teacher is impressed. What size is this piece?

The stroke direction works beautifully!
Great work in your second scratchboard!!

Really nice work - I like how you've used left-to-right strokes for clothing and a contrasting right/left stroke for the "important" areas like his face, hands and the guitar. My eye does kinda get stuck on the feather, but not knowing anything about musicians I'm assuming that's Vaughan's signature? (My husband is rolling his eyes at my ignorance, but he's the musician in our family!)

thanks all, yes, its vaughan. I too noticed the feather was very eye striking. I think I'll go back in with some ink and scratch out some more in that area.

You definitely have a wonderful feel for scratchboard. Hope you keep turning them out.

OOOh, I really like this style. You used a great pose and the line work enhances it and tells the story of energy and rhythm wonderfully.
