For this assignment I had to draw a dozen eggs on a dark background using graphite. This was one of the harder assignments. It is really difficult to draw plain white eggs. Having a really good directional light source helps but it was still very difficult not to draw ovals. I tried to come up with a creative way to set the eggs but in the end the only creative part of the setting, I think, is the broken egg in the center and that was my wife's idea. I used some charcoal on the dark surface to try and get a really good contrast and I think that helped but in the end I think this drawing was better as a learning device then an actual drawing. I still enjoyed doing it but the end result isn't all that great.
