Draw and Eat: Crab Legs


I love it when something is both delicious and fun to draw!  I started my sketch by lightly blocking in the large shapes with a fine point ballpoint pen, and then defined the edges in a thicker ballpoint pen.  The finer pen also worked well for fine details and a bit of shading. (Here I used a Zebra F-301 compact pen and a Uni Jetstream 101 size 1.0.)


For the color, I layered warm, pinkish washes of watercolor using various shades of red (Perylene Maroon, Cadmium Red Deep, and Magenta), Cadmium Yellow Medium, and a touch of Winsor Blue to tone it down a bit.
