I made a 2-layer document, with a 'scratched paper' background and a solid-black foreground .. then I used the wacom stylus set to erase, revealing the 'white space' in the drawing.
As with a 'real' scratchboard, I made no use of "undo". And as usual with these doodles, I had no plan starting out as to what I was gonna draw.
I probably should have used a much thinner brush point, to make it look more like a 'real' scratchboard. Ah, well. -_-
I've been wanting to do a linoleum block print for sometime, which is similar in that the image is created by taking away material from the surface. I even bought a linoleum block all ready to carve up but just thinking about the process seemed too messy. It didn't occur to me to try simulating this technique digitally.

What an interesting idea.
