Concept Sketches for an Upcoming Painting

These are some concept drawings of a painting that I am planning to do in the near future. It features a hermit crab using a soda can as a shell. I imagine him going on all sorts of adventures and scavenging sunken ships lost to time. His pseudo shell is looking a little too pristine, so I’ll need to find or create some photo references of a more worn and tired looking can.
