Shells Shells Shells

Today, our last shell drawing was due. I would say that drawing these was one of my favorite parts about the class. Concentrating on something to get the exact gesture of the contour down is a definite challenge. Drawing it over and over, each time adding an element, is the only way to overcome it and learn. Based on comparing my first one (bottom) and last one (top) it is obvious this worked for me. I loved the inability to control the ink wash in the latter two drawings. I feel it accentuated the organic feel of the form perfectly. I am so happy to have this piece to add to my professional portfolio.
