#2 Ink Shell Drawing


This shell drawing I feel was more successful than my first shell drawing. I did not wash out the entire surface as I did on my last one, and this helped maintain lighter areas and more contrast overall. I really liked the brown ink with reddish-brown conte on my last ink wash shell drawing, and so I kept the combination for this one. What I really enjoy about the brown ink is the way it reveals other colors when saturated with water, such as the fuscia tone seen on the bottom of the shell here.
