Meet Claire at Incahoots

I am often asked ‘what is it made from?’  The answer is scratchboard/scrapeboard. It starts out life as a black board which is made up of a thin layer of white China clay that is coated with black India ink. I scrape through the black layer creating the image.

When I start the illustration I begin with a visit to the location where I spend a long time looking, drawing and photographing. I am looking at both the buildings and environment and in particular the people, what they are doing and the stories being played out in front of me. I love people watching, trying to imagine what is going on and this gives me a perfect excuse to do so! I then look at all of the reference material and draw the layout ~ in my wibbly wobbly way of course! 

I start scratching in the buildings first and then the people and slowly the narrative evolves. I hope the viewer looks at the finished illustration the way it has been created, seeing the buildings and layout first and then gradually the details and stories.
