Digital art tutorial - How to paint a baked egg step by step

It's great to paint some food when you're hungry, it is almost as good as eating it! In this digital art tutorial I'll be showing you how to paint a baked egg with digital painting software and (preferably) a drawing tablet.

STEP 1 - Make a sketch

The first step is to make a sketch! You can keep it nice and loose. You can use a reference photo or a real egg ofcourse, don't eat it yet though!

STEP 2 - Base color

In the next step you'll lay down the base color. I prefer starting with a slightly dark color.

STEP 3 - Building up shapes

Once you've got the base color down, it's time to start building up the shape of the egg. Check out your reference and try to focus on where the light and dark areas are. Build up the contrast slowly, be sure to add some color variety, like greens, blues and oranges.

STEP 4 - Detailing

You can spend as much time on this part as you want. Work on the details of the egg, really focus on getting the highlights and shadows right. Adding those bright highlights really feels like adding some magic :)

incredible work... I see you started with a darker shade first, most tutorials I see start with lighter shades first,. But i always prefer to go for the darker shades myself.

Thanks! Yeah, I always like to work from dark to light :)

@artwithflo this is an interesting technique. When I read the title I thought you were going to paint a picture on an egg shell. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was the picture of an egg. Great content.

Haha, perhaps I'll do that some other time ;)

Great work are you using layers and blending modes, or one layer and different shades?

Awesome art .You deserve for vote.Please check my post.

Yum. Just like I like 'em ;)

This looks wonderful. I love your work Flo!
