This was the scale jump project, and the goal was to take an image of something small and enlarge it to a very big size. I remember this project took a couple of weeks, maybe less. I began my process by taking photos of seashells, and then eventually choosing a photo that I thought was best. I then Increased the contrast and practiced drawing shell proportions, and shell textures as shown in the slideshow. Once I was pretty confident about drawing the shell, I used a grid to help me scale up this image. I went in with Charcoal pencils and drew the shell on a large scale.
