Hermit Crab

Hermit Crab

This is about as loose as I get. 

Larger hermit crabs are red.  I ran into one once in the surf, just before sunrise.  I was the size of a 1lb. lobster.  It was red with a fleshy tail, and without a shell.  It looked like a lobster, but lobsters are red after they are cooked.  It took me awhile to find out what this red clawed thing was on the internet.  Finally I saw a poster showing the parts of a hermit crab.  Bingo. 

I used to find shells hard to draw.  I think it was more of a perspective thing. Now shell are not such a challenge. This comes with practice, practice, practice.
