There is also a lesson drawing seashells step by step. First, let's draw shapes like in the picture
carefully follow the red lines, we will draw each shape, turning it into a shell
some more drawing lines
and final painting touches
and you're done, you can color it with colored pencils, as in the picture
Drawing a shell is difficult, no matter what strategy you adopt, for a quality drawing you need either the talent to draw complex lines, or to draw a calculated artistic proportion, a version of which I want to present. Otherwise it will turn out clumsily, especially without training.
The main thing is to proportionally calculate the ratio of this oval as in the figure, using its indicators in relativity as tracing paper.
Then you need to carefully shade the resulting layout.
Since this configuration is drawn in pencil, it can be modernized and learned at the same time.
Drawing a shell is very easy. Even a child can do this using the simplest step by step instructions, which you will see below.
We will draw such a beautiful shell.
First you need to draw the shape of the future shell.
Let's make its edges ribbed.
Now you should draw straight lines like a fan from the base.
Using strokes we will make the surface of the shell uneven and rough.
The shell is ready.
I'll offer you another one possible variant drawing a shell with a pearl.
Before you start drawing a shell, take the items necessary for this:
1) Colored and simple pencils;
2) Eraser, for periodic correction of the drawing;
3) Sharpener if pencils break;
4) Blank sheet paper
When we are completely ready, we begin to draw the shell, for this we will highlight the following steps:
First stage. Let us denote the shape of the shell by drawing geometric shapes in the form of an oval, we will also draw an image of pearls.
Second phase. We begin to give the shells a more regular shape.
Third stage. We draw more carefully the shape of the shell and pearls.
Fourth stage. Apply shadows to the shell drawing.
Since shells can be completely different in shape and color, go with your imagination and desire to work.
Can be used simple circuits to draw regular seashells. Here it will be important to give a believable shape and grooved structure to the shell. A sharpened pencil is suitable for the job.
Volume is created by shadows.
More complex species It's better to draw in stages.
As usual, first stands in general outline determine the shape and size of the shell.
Then work out the edges in detail with strokes and convey the volume with shadows.
The end result can be decorated as you wish.
The work will be more delicate and painstaking. You need to know the basics of drawing, the principles of shadow and light, so that the picture turns out naturalistic.
Drawing examples taken from the Internet.
Here is the simplest option for step by step drawing shells.
Sometimes you want to feel a piece of the sea near you. It is clear that not every time you manage to go on the desired vacation. At such moments, the idea arises to create a piece of summer holiday with your own hands. Having learned how to draw a shell, it will be very easy to implement this idea.
What background should you come up with for a shell drawing?
Where can you most often find sea beauties? In a souvenir shop, on the shore of the ocean or other body of water, and even on a shelf in your own sideboard. It follows that this is exactly what the background for the main masterpiece can be. You can take as a basis:
- Beach.
- Sea surface.
- Human hands holding a shell.
- A beautiful stand.
In general, the background of a masterpiece can be very different. It all depends on the imagination and ideas of the person who depicts an object reminiscent of travel. Before you draw a shell, you should think about the details, then the image will turn out beautiful and aesthetic. This is very important in any kind of creativity.
How to draw a shell step by step and quickly
It is important to maintain some consistency so that the work turns out to be truly worthy. The easiest way to draw a “curly shell” is to do this:
- Prepare your workplace.
- Place a pencil, paint, brush, glue at arm's length. In general, everything that can be useful for applying an image to a sheet of paper.
- Then you need to draw a sketch. If it is a “snail shell”, then it is enough to mark the spiral of the required size.
- Before you draw the shell to the end, you should think about how it will be decorated. Painted salt and sand, which are applied to glue poured into the center of the picture, look very nice and harmonious.
- The final step will be to apply the necessary accessories that will make the artistic creation complete.
What details will make the drawing special?
To make the drawing look truly marine, after drawing a shell, you should add elements that will complete the theme. It could be:
- Beach umbrella in the distance.
- Summer slippers.
- Lifebuoy.
- Hammock between palm trees.
- A ship sailing on the waves.
- on the Cote d'Azur.
- People in bathing suits on the seashore.
In general, everything related to sea memories. Most best drawing- the one that is depicted from the heart. By pouring your soul into an image, you can create a real masterpiece that will be no different from artistic creations famous people who know how to use a brush and pencil perfectly.
Various wonders are hidden in the depths of the sea: incredible beauty fish, strange creatures, starfish, algae and, of course, shells. Hidden in some of them real pearls. If you put the shutter to your ear, you can hear the sound of the sea.
A shell found on the shore becomes a great reminder of a fun vacation. Well, if your child doesn’t find such a souvenir, don’t despair. We suggest drawing a shell. The drawing will be a great reminder of summer.
You will need: a sheet of paper; pencil; eraser.
Step 1
The basis
The base of the shell is similar to a badminton shuttlecock.
Adding details
Add detail to the side of the shell, expanding the design. 
Add the same detail on the other side. The details taper towards the bottom. 
We continue to add parts
Draw the same parts. They do not end at the very bottom, but a little higher. 
Bottom part
Draw two irregular semicircles at the bottom left and right. These little parts help the shell close tightly. 
Horizontal lines
The shell is divided by horizontal lines that start from its curves at the top. 
Pattern
Each shell has original drawing. Draw wavy lines on the surface. 
At the bottom draw the same solid line. The bends must coincide with the horizontal lines. 
Small parts
Add more horizontal lines on the shell. 
Complete the drawing small parts up and down. 
Coloring
There are a variety of shells light colors, which smoothly transform into each other. Let your child try to come up with his own pattern.

Step one
I measured my shell - I clamped it thumb on a pencil, and then transferred her “measurements” to paper. I measured the width, height of the shell, measured where the outer edge (like a fin) joins in the shell, and where it curves on the side. I also marked the middle of the shell.
I drew the outline of the shell, recreating its shape by following my marks.
Step two
I erased my guides and lightened the line by lightly rubbing it with a knob. I added a small guide line at the top center of the sink for reference. Then I applied the base color with the tip of a pencil.
I knew I would paint the shape of this shell, erasing, highlighting highlights and adding shadows to the base tone. Therefore, the main tone is the “arithmetic mean” between the lightest highlight and the darkest shadow. To create a more realistic texture, I applied shading from the center down towards its ribs.
Step three
I measured the distance from the top center of the shell to the bottom to the two lowest ribs going up and marked this on my drawing. I used a pencil eraser to create the main highlights on the ribs of the shell. I made the ribs wider near the top edges of the shell and gradually tapered them down where they meet in the center. Most of the ribs curved slightly to the left or right. I used a pencil as a rectangle, and with this “square” I defined these curves and was able to draw them.
Then I used the sharp tip of a pencil to draw shadow lines at the ribs of the shell and along the bottom edge. 
Step four
Now the main light and dark areas are outlined, I squint to see how the shadow generally goes. The light hit the shell from above and slightly in front, so in general the details of the shell (both highlights and shadows) were lighter at the top, where the light hit them directly, and darker at the bottom.
To repeat this effect in the drawing, I used short strokes with a hard brush to darken the lower part in the middle of the shell in the shape of an arch. You can see that the brush did not erase the details that were painted in the previous step, but it darkened them in the same way as the lighting on the shell itself.
Step five
I started creating more realistic details by paying attention to the edges of the ribs, painting from sharp to soft (Sharp edges end sharply, soft edges end smoothly)
Near the top and side edges of the shell, I used the tip of a eraser to lighten the edges of the ribs to make them look softer and less pronounced. I created this effect by pinching the end of the nag.
In the center of the shell, I softened the edges of the light highlights of the ribs and darkened some areas so that they were unclear, washed out.
.
Near the top of the shell, I used a sharp pencil tip (using moderate pressure) to draw dark shadows cast by the ribs.
Step six.
To finish the drawing, I added shadows to where the ribs met, made the shadow falling on the paper even darker, and used an eraser to mark a few notches on the shell at the bottom, near its “fin.” Then I added parallel stripes to the sides of the shell near the "fin". I darkened the ribs at the bottom, added arched curves around the middle "blade" of the shell, and made the edge of the shell jagged and jagged. Finally, I used an eraser to lighten the lightest places in the middle.
