Ink Drawing

It was interesting adding the ink to our shell drawings since it was something new. I haven't worked with ink before so it was quite a learning curve. I was sick for the class period that we practiced, so after a few trials on my own, my first real attempt was on my third large shell drawing. I underesimated how difficult it is to control the ink. Also, I didn't know what to expect because it dries a lot lighter than it appears when wet. This was good becuase so much ink, water, and paper particles built up it all seemed to be blrrying together. For our final drawing I will be aiming for more control and more defined shadows and highlights to really add dimention!
