And beautifully scratched out it is. I’m sure she will love it.

Love the monochrome nature of scratch pad work - this is super with its close up view, very characterful.

And you did a fine job. I recommend you watch Reuben the bulldog on YouTube, if you like bulldogs: as who doesn't?

My friend "dog-sits" this beloved bulldog and is herself crazy about animals. I thought it would make a lovely birthday present to gift her a scratchboard image of his adorable chubby face. Instead of my fancy scratchboard etching tools, I used a simple needle mounted in a ballpoint pen to scrape out the fine lines of his pelt.
