Week 4

For this week, i chose a small shell I found out side my classroom. It was a shell that was most likely used my a snail. I wasn’t able to identify it as very small and damaged.

This shell was used under a microscope, and was magnified to 100X to observe all the details

To draw the shell I first with an outline using a H5 pencil then I followed it with a striation marks with a H3 pencil. Later I used a B3 pencil and used a #3 blender. I made sure not to completely blend the striation marks. To finish it, I used a H7 to replicate the minute sand particles that were on the crevices of the shell
