Trying to draw an egg but you just can't get it right? Then follow this tutorial to learn a trick how to get the egg shape right. It's really quite easy!

Note: follow the red line for each step.

Steps

  1. 1
    First gather all the necessary utensils: paper, pencil, razor gum, pencil sharpener and watercolors. You might want to also use a ruler.
    • Start by drawing a vertical line delimited at each end by a small horizontal line (this will help you know where the top and the bottom of the egg must be).
  2. 2
    Over the vertical line draw three horizontal lines of different sizes delimited at each end by a small horizontal line (this will help you outline the shape of the egg).
    • These horizontal lines will help you create the perfect egg shape.

    Now outline the egg shape over the “skeleton”.
    • Follow the vertical top and bottom, and the horizontal left and right delimitation marks to create the shape of the egg.
  4. 4
    Add in some color.
    • Erase the “skeleton” from the egg interior and color with the watercolors.
    • Try to color following the shape of the egg.
    • Use light blue and light gray.

    You're right when it comes to some eggs, but most birds' eggs have bigger bottoms and smaller tops.
