Last Updated: May 2, 2019

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
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
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.

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.

I play Animal Jam, and it's the Spring Festival right now. I want to make a masterpiece of an egg to send to AJHQ, but I don't want to have to draw the whole outline. Do I have to?

Can't I just draw a circle?

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