Pirates Poster4

The scratching begins! My right ear is excited. The all-important title of the operetta is first on the agenda. Legibility is just as important as style here. We'll see if the producer goes for it, since the legibility is a little poorer than the original sketch.

One challenge that's surfaced already is that once I transfered the sketch's title to the scratchboard and scratched it out, I realized it'll be pretty small relative to the poster. So I used the "Golden Mean" trick to size down the poster area on a diagonal. So now the artwork is around 10x16" (and will be blown up). But the upside is that it'll be easier to scan into the computer for coloring, and I think I can do that rather than have the printer do it.
