Plastic drawing contest: Plastic Crab on the Beach🌊

Hi this is my entry for @jacinta.sevilla contest's I think the contest is a great initiative to:

CREATE AWARENESS in SOCIETY on this issue that INVOLVES ALL OF US

There are several kinds of plastics, some more toxic than others and all end up floating in the sea and / or accumulating on the coasts. Marine animals can get trapped with them and/or ingest them.

I chose a hermit crab, because when they have the small shell they look for another larger and more comfortable, through the image I want to show how the life of a crab affects the garbage thrown by humans, so my concept is:

THE HUMAN IMPACT ON ANIMALS AND ENVIRONMENT

I had a lot of fun thinking about what to do, draw it and paint it, especially because I really like hermit crabs.

Process/ Proceso:

First I drew the idea in a paper, in the PC I chose a background beach, later I paint it all with different brushes and layers in PSD. Sorry if not all the steps, I did not save the layers with the brushes separately, I combined layers and closed the file :(
