To create sgraffito, first draw your picture or pattern in pencil or oil pastel. Then cover the whole page in black oil pastel. Scratch at the black pastel with a lancet or other sharp tool to reveal the picture beneath. Another tool that may come in useful for removing the black pastel is the 'wrong end' of a paintbrush. This is the method I usually use and it is very effective.
