Some more shells. These ones look like small huts, pretty boring actually until you turn them upside down. Then you see coloured rings showing their growth patterns.
I'd like to see a little color added to some of these but I'm enjoying the sketches as they are, too - not really simple to get the shapes and values right :)
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?

ReplyDeleteI am going to use my coloured ink pens but not a lot, just every few sketches since I prefer just using black. seems a bit more of a challenge :)
DeleteI like the depth you achieved in the upside down one. Colour would be neat!
ReplyDeletethanks Michelle :) prob should have use a bit of colour for the underside of the shell :)
