I personally really like these eggs. I like the background I used, I like the colors I used and I actually really liked working with the chalk. One thing I liked about working with chalk is that it is easy to go fast, it took me atleast 10 minutes to finish this drawing and I actually like it. I really like the look of textured chalk as opposed to smooth chalk. Last year when I worked with chalk I would tend to overblend and then it would quickly become messy. So this year when I worked on it I really wanted to make sure that I used the chalk lightly and didn't blend at all. One thing I learned about chalk is that it layers really well. One technique I used is instead of putting down highlights first, like what you would do with prisma colors, I put down the black first, when I put down the black first it would keep me from having to blend it into the colors later.
