"Thirteen" ... ink on 8"x10" claybord by Robert Elrod. This was my first attempt at using claybord. The packaging said it was a great surface for ink drawing. It's a very slick surface and the ink does NOT react to it the same way that it does to paper, obviously. That being said, once I got rolling with it, I didn't feel too uncomfortable. I think it's a surface that I will probably use again. Perhaps next time I'll get one of their black claybords and trying doing it completely with an X-Acto blade (scratchboarding). I did a little scratching on this to see how I'd like doing that. Honestly, it was kinda fun. I need to get a different blade for it, however.
