Your shells look fine. Remember you are doing a sketch, not a perfect rendering. If you want, wait a day or so, then return to the piece. Perhaps some darker values? Or not - You decide. Maybe try one shell instead of the whole bowl with all the complications of shape and shadow. We’re always hard on ourselves I guess. Your shells look fine.

You have me a smile this morning, and we all feel your pain AND this is not a horrid sketch at all, great subtle effects, just not exactly what you wanted, Karma teaches us Much ;-) grasshopper Ok, we all get frustrated, and Lord knows rarely does my sketch turn out as I wish.

I wish i had a better photo to examine. Now, I will have to draw my collection in on the window sill. I have picked them all up from the Beach in Lynn, MA on my own. Some where actually, thrown to me by The Seagulls. Now, that is a wonderful gift. A gift from a Seagull. Do you know the Seagulls will take large shells. Fish a small crab or sea shell creature from the sandy wet beach and then hurl it on to the shell to break it open. A grand breakfast Feast. I love watching them everyday.
