Full Version: Seashells

I did these three seashells because my wife asked for them; I found it hard to keep that "inspired" feeling going. I'd never make it as a commercial artist, I suspect! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to post them together. C&C always welcome.

I like the conch the best.

Ernest I like the shells and they would work well hanging as grouped art - and I am with you the conch is the best.

Boo!

I had to draw shells once as part of a still life

...thing took me hours mellow.gif

These are nice smile.gif ...I think the first two are better than the last

I love the colors in the last one. Though it does not look as rounded as the other ones, it's my favorite.

Its good to make yourself do things outside of your comfort zone. At times we all draw something that we don't enjoy, but it helps us grow artistically.

I too think they'd be wonderful grouped together in a frame.

Ernest these turned out really great. Will your wife be hanging them?

Yep, in a bathroom, which I'm not too excited about, what with the humidity and all.

Good job! Especially for not having your heart fully in it!

Great seashells Ernest, biggrin.gif
It's some thing I have wanted to do but have not got around to it yet
when I do I hope you will give me your comment unsure.gif

Good job Ernest. I tried a shell like the third one. I did it 3 or 4 times and had trouble getting the 3D look to the spiral.

tongue.gif Great job, on all 3 Ernest, I am very fond of the 2nd one, now I have to ask since they are to be hung in your bathroom...Did you do the colors to match the bathroom decor? OR were they actually that color when you did them? laugh.gif
