Is this a SNAIL?

[alpinedigital]

Would it be easy to do this pattern? I was thinking about making a brush that could do it but I never made a brush really. Can any super graphix guys tell me the best way to recreate this? Not so much the shadows but a sort of wireframe looking design.

Thanks for any help. I just cant get my brain wrapped around the spiral thing.

It is a nautilus - more related to octopusses.

Graphically very tempting !

Hi
As John says just trace it. Its a lot quicker than messing about drawing overly perfect spirals and adopting them to the shape you require.
Here's a picture thats no help at all.

Wow that SPX-E is a huge help. I did like the 4 color tutorial too - that's what I had in mind but would have likely been a pain because I do need the exponential type. Either way, I knew I could find just the right information and a big help to steer me in the right direction Thanks gang that was a big help!
