Hmm well right off the bat I see some issues with the drawing. Eggs are generally bigger on one end, these seem a bit stretched and perfectly shaped.

Its hard to critique your painting in photoshop with this piece since its just a few shapes. Let me ask...

Are you just trying to get to where you can color in photoshop? Or are you trying to learn to draw too?

If its just coloring you are after then maybe try coloring some of the pieces from the coloring book thread

What kind of look are you going for? Painterly?

I'd give more critique, but this piece isn't ver involved and its really hard to say much about, except it looks like it was done with the ellipse tool maybe? Perhaps thats why they aren't egg shaped?

There is nothing wrong with starting with something simple, like an egg, its great for getting basic shapes down and even the way light reflects. I'd like to see an actual still life of an egg though, in a different perspective good luck and can't wait to see some more.

thanks Marie
well the shape of the egg was made by a brush actually, i was messing aroun in the bursh pallate and somehow got the shape of it.

im trying to learn how to paint in photoshop and im going for reality look something like Pene Menn does.

thanks again and i will be sure to check the Colorring book thread

There is a lot of good information in the life drawing area and its subforum too There are some really great tutorials regarding color and light.
