I found a cool site filled with x-rays of seashells and was fascinated to see the interior of these beautiful houses. My drawing is not nearly the pristine, graceful interpretation I intended, but the imperfect slogging-away rendering that it had to be.That's not to say I didn't enjoy it; I did. Its value for me is in the process, the repetitive nature of cross-hatching, the lovely feel of that cheap pen on good paper, and the meditative spirit in which I worked.
This piece is larger than my usual sketchbook work, about 17 x 32 inches.
