Shell Drawing 4

This drawing was created last in the series, showing a progression. On this particular drawing I wanted to focus on the form of the shell not using line and mark making. I felt as if I wanted to have the ink act as a skin, which was mentioned in class. The use of ink and the washes worked to give the shell a sense of form and shadow. I felt that this drawing was successful even though parts of the whole become flat. The whole process of drawing the shell helped me understand a specific subject. This process was beneficial to me as an artist making observation and research the priority.
