    Default Just an Egg

    Not trying to hook anyone with the title!

    A conversation on the Xone, got me to draw an egg.
    So, I thought I would have a go and see how it turns out.
    The background is a bitmap fill.

    What do you think of the egg?

    Everyone is welcome to draw their egg and post it in this thread.
    If we get enough, we could set up a stall to sell them!

    I think it is marvelous Rik.
    If I have time tomorrow I may give it a go also.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    That egg looks very real. Great job. I don't think anyone can up that.

    That really is very nice of you to say that.

    But... no need to try and up it.

    Just draw one and post it here.

    Very convincing. Eggs by their nature are very subtle.

    That's extremely well done Rik, eggs are not simple to draw as Gary pointed out, they are very subtle.
