Revision

For this project I tried to focus on using different mediums as a comparison and also working on perspective and drawing shells.  I have never drawn a shell before for some reason so I figured this was a good time to do it.  I figured I would struggle the most with the shell from the side angle, and I did.  I ended up doing it though, and I don't love it, but I did enjoy doing it.  I did it in colored pencil, which is probably one of my least favorite mediums to work with.  I like how the inside edge turned out a lot on that one.  I haven't done a project in just colored pencils since draw 1 I don't think so.  It was good to practice it again, but I still don't like it much.  I did a sketch shell from a top angle in graphite and I like it, but it doesn't match the color scheme of the rest of the shells that I tried to keep consistent.  The two in marker, one with Sharpie and the other with the better drawing markers, I don't like a whole lot.  The colors we
