I start with a scratch board I purchase from an art supply store. It is 1/8" masonite with a layer of white clay followed by a layer of India Ink. When I purchase them they are perfectly dull black. I then us a piece of of white transfer paper or a white pen to put onto the black surface the basic outline of my subject. I then make a series of small fine scratches around the outline to mark it in case I happen to rub the outline off with my wrist or hand. Once that's done I look at my subject and make base scratches to mark the general direction of the scratches in each area. And then let the scratching begin. Once I've scratched the entire piece I check it and if I'm pleased I will apply the first of two or three coats of watercolor paint (thin coats). After paint dries I scratch again and repeat until I'm satisfied.. Once I've decided it's finished I sign it and spray with a polyurethane spray gloss finish. This protects the work from possible accidental scratches. And that's how easy it is to do.. :)
