In this exclusive real-time tutorial, you’ll watch a bonus session from our Drawcember Challenge where I demonstrate how to draw a realistic fried egg using colored pencils on toned paper. Starting with a soft base layer for the egg white, I gradually build up depth with subtle browns and yellows to capture the natural texture and slight crisp edges. The yolk is brought to life with layered oranges and vibrant highlights, showing how pressure control and careful blending can create a smooth, glossy surface that feels three-dimensional. You’ll also see how adding shadows beneath the egg makes it sit naturally on the page, giving the drawing a complete and realistic look. This tutorial is a fun way to practice layering, color transitions, and highlight techniques, and it will help you feel more confident capturing everyday objects with realism. And as usual, the references of this tutorial are included in the Materials section.
