This month’s assignment for class was tricky. The subject was “crustaceans.” I felt like I was supposed to get realistic with the subject matter, but I just wanted to have fun, so I stuck with my cute cartoony style (have been DYING to get back to it – it makes me happy). I loved this little hermit crab sketch which was the VERY FIRST sketch I created for the “mini” part of the project.

I went ahead to create more and more sketches, but nothing made me happier than my original hermit crab sketch, so I ended up using it for my final piece, and using the various shells I doodled as decorative elements. Here is a page of those elements I ended up using for the final – scanned. Ended up not using the happy crabs. If I had given myself more time I would have created a second plate featuring these guys too!
