I found this in my desk recently, it is an etching I did while I was in college.
This was done on clay board. It works like this: they take a piece of masonite board and paint it white; then cover the masonite in a thin layer of clay and paint that India ink black; then you use these little tools to scrape off the black clay, revealing the white board underneath.
Very cool stuff. It makes you draw in reverse. Normally you draw shadows, with this technique you draw the highlights.
