    I also documented how I did the picture in Xare as a PDF.

    Mike made a suggestion to add the file to DropBox.,

    That is a good idea.

    Here is the link to the PDF file https://www.dropbox.com/s/fqealb0pc2...0Xara.pdf?dl=0

    Nicely done, Ray!

    You could always upload the PDF to a document sharing site such as dropbox (or wherever) and simply provide a download link.

    Again, I really like it.

    Very nice Ray.There seems to be a problem with the shadow under the egg shell on the left, should be flipped horizontally and possibly rotated some..

    Larry,

    The way I am looking at the drawing, the light source would be at the top of the drawing and almost between the two egg shells. So this was may attempt to show the shadows based on the direction of the light. I am not happy with the shadows as a whole but they get the idea across. If I remember right Gary did a Workbook on a glass object with shadows that I may need to revisit.

    Thanks
    Ray

    Never the less the rounded part of the cast shadow should correspond with the rounded part of the shell and the flattish part should correspond to the broken part (right side of the left shell), as it is it is reversed. Just a friendly observation. I am talking about the cast shadow under the shell not the shading on the interior of the shell.

    Larry, geez. Put forth your own version and we'll see if you get the shadow "correct" or not.

    It's art, not a photo.

    OK Mike, It'll take me awhile, I'll just do the egg shells if that is OK.
    Can you guys not see the shell and it's cast shadow are not correct?
    Not trying to be nasty, just asking. Maybe I'm wrong which is highly likely but that's what I see.
    Looking at the shell and it's shadow again makes me wonder now that maybe I am wrong but still I think it could be made to resemble the shell . Sometimes that happens and the fix is not always easy or apparent.
    I'll see if am wrong or not. If I am I'll apologize to RKissane

    Took and set up a plastic egg and took a picture of it. there is reflex of the light in the picture that makes it look like the light is over the top of the egg but that is just the angle of how I took the picture.

    The shadows look close to the way I drew them. Would have to make the ends just a little more rounded is all.

    Ray,
    Thanks for the photo.
    From what I see your photo proves my point, however here is what I did with your tutorial.
    It is not 100% accuate to your tutorial but the shadows are more or less correct as I see it. Please don't take offense at my criticism of your shadows that's just my thing. I liked your tutorial and learned much in the process.
