Shells on the sand. Detailed drawing markers

Hello, Steemit!
Today I decided to paint with alcohol markers.
Every time I visit the sea, I take with me a small cockleshell or a beautiful pebble that warms my heart and soul in separation from the sea.
For work, I used alcohol markers "Sketchmarker" and a sketchbook for graphics.

First of all, I drew the contours of the future drawing with a pencil.

With a yellow marker I fill out the contours of the shells and their most sunlit spots.

Has started to detailing. I drew a shell and a star in the center of the picture. The whole picture will be in orange shades, so I will stick to the main orange color.

I continied the details. Registering each shell, I tried to immediately convey all its details. That at the end of the process it remains only to put the finishing touches and accents. However, each shell must have a similar color to the rest.

Gradually drew more and more items in the picture. Did not forget to draw shadows. I drew shadows with a neutral gray marker and umbra.

When applying the color, I moved from the center of the picture to the periphery. However, I tried to detail the whole picture for greater realism. The areas between the shells (where the earth is) I painted over with a brown marker, greatly sealing the shadows directly under the shells themselves.

Finally, my markers touched the entire area of the sheet. The main part of the work is done, it remains only to put the finishing touches on completeness.

At the final stage, I strengthened the detailing of the picture, made the shadows darker and intensified the light flare. I drew the light glare with a white gel pen. The drawing is ready.

Gif of the process.

I know that could still sit over the picture, improve it. But free time, unfortunately, was not so much).
