So this was an interesting assignment. This is my second shell drawing, with the second larger shell. It was nice to switch because I was having a difficult time seeing the detail in my initial shell. Either way, I felt this was an improvement from my first attempt. During class we began using ink washes and I struggled somewhat. I eventually began to control the ink and water somewhat, but not completely successfully. I do enjoy the blending of the charcoal and the wash, but it would not really be my first choice for rendering a shell. I do think the wash makes sense in that it is relative to the shell environment. We will be doing more shell inkings so hopefully I will improve with the watery inks.
