I frequently do Google image searches looking for inspiring artwork to do on the whiteboard. I recently came across an artist I’d never heard of, a German expressionist painter and print-maker named Karl Schmidt-Rotluff. While I liked his paintings it was his woodcuts that really caught my eye. They are very stark and angular and in black and white they looked like great whiteboard fodder. I also knew right away that creating this one would use a different process than I had done before. I decided to break it down into large shapes that I could use for spot blacks and do all the “drawing” by erasing. It was a fun exercise and didn’t take long. I wanted to make sure I had time to get a Halloween themed whiteboard ready. 🙂
