Illustration Friday - EGG (late post)

Hey all, here's my better late than not at all drawing for Easter week's IF topic which was 'egg'…



The inspiration was obviously Easter and I stole the background design from my niece Evelyn. She's a pretty amazing artist on her own and hopefully someday we can share IF together (that is with her parent's permission as she is only 13!)

I tried a new technique with this one.  My usual sketch in black sharpie but I used a stiff bristle brush and soft pastels to color and shade, then brightened some areas with marker. It made for a pretty cool effect and some better variety of color than just markers alone! I cleaned it up with a kneaded eraser and voila! 

Anyways, thanks for stopping by. Comments always welcome.
