Water-soluble Drawing Exercises of an Egg Shell

In this exercise, we'll be drawing a member of the Egg Shell Family (Ovulidae) and I'll be demonstrating some simple techniques using a water-soluble pen (Pilot Razor Point) and water-soluble graphite pencil (Derwent Medium Wash). After following along to the video below, I encourage you to try this technique with other shells and other media, such as water-soluble colored pencils or watercolors.

The large, downloadable image of the Egg Shell seashell below should give you plenty of opportunity to add as much detail as you'd like!
