Steven Noble's Illustration Collection of promotional materials that cover the following:
Scratchboard
Handcrafted illustrations that are created using an X-acto knife tool to scratch the etched lines from clayboard that is pre-sprayed with black ink. The technique is created working in a negative removal process.
Etchings
Delicately hand etched illustrations that are drawn with pen & ink into clayboard and scratched off for more fine detailed ink drawings. This style is lighter in feel with less heaviness and dark strokes.
Woodcuts
Bold cuts that are hand carved from scratchboard that are more rough and less detailed then engravings that closely resemble linocuts. This style has a more rustic feel and works well at smaller sizes.
Steel Engravings
Highly detailed and intricate illustration technique found on currency dollar bills that simulate old copper plate etchings. This style is more labor intensive since it requires more delicate line detail.
Line Art
Hand illustrated black and white illustrations that are more simple and less heavy that cover everything from simple outlines to cross-hatching and stipple illustrations.
