Step-by-Step Drawing of Different Shells

Here are the shells of three types of shells or snails, each with slightly different instructions. They are all easy to draw. Since shells vary a bit in shape, it’s okay if you don’t draw them perfectly. Just follow the step-by-step guide and use a pencil so you can adjust the drawing if you’re not happy with a part of it. Then, trace everything with a black fine liner and let your drawing dry well. Afterward, you can erase the pencil lines and focus on coloring.

In nature, shells are usually beige and brown, but feel free to try colorful or patterned versions as well. Let your imagination run wild here!

Try a Decorative Shell Pattern

Why not try a shell pattern? It’s very decorative and can be used as wrapping paper or to decorate notebooks, binders, or other items. To create it, draw one or more shells combined with other sea elements: waves, anchors, fish, water droplets… anything you like is allowed. Then, repeat the same motif to create a wonderful pattern. It’s even easier if you use an image editing program on your computer.
