Start by printing out the free Sea Shell Step-by-Step Drawing Tutorial at the bottom of the blog post. Follow along the simple steps with a sheet of paper and pencil. We recommend starting out with light pencil lines until you get the basic shapes you are looking for. You can always erase extra lines.

Start by drawing the outside of the shell. Draw small curve lines around the top and then a straight line for each of the sides that come together at the bottom in a wide v-shape.

Next, draw a slightly curved line from the bottom center to the end of the first scallop. Draw another line from the same bottom center to the next scallop end.

Continue to draw lines from the center to the next couple of scallops like in the previous step.

Continue to draw the lines along the rest of the scallops.

The last step is to draw a small curved line from the middle of one of the bottom scallops to the bottom center. Do the same for the other base of the shell.

The final step is to color your shell drawing in. Coloring in your seashell and adding details is where your drawing really comes to life! Start by choosing colors that you see in real seashells, like soft pinks, creams, or even bright oranges and purples.
