Atmospheric Perspective: Mr. Shell and His Family

When going through this assignment’s brainstorming process, I went through my camera roll to see if I had any pictures that demonstrated atmospheric perspective. I found a few images that I could see myself using for inspiration for my assignment and then asked the professor which one she thought would be best as I really didn’t care which one I did.

I started my sketch for my drawing a little confused as to how I should approach drawing a conch shell as there are a few of them in my drawing. As I started to sketch out my shells I started to label what colors were in the undertones of each shell so that I wouldn’t have to continuously be looking at my phone at the reference photo. After sketching out my project I started to add color in the form of colored pencil and proceeded to shade and add some dimension by using graphite. I am not yet done with my drawing but, will update you when I am. I think that my drawing would benefit by adding some more texture in the foreground. I was also encouraged to add some more contrast in the foreground. I plan on adding a little more to my drawing before I deem it complete. – Erin
