Eggbert

Today's tutorial is on the creation of "egg" (or whatever else I've called this picture before)

First up is the list of brushes I like to use:

 

I use the pencil for most sketch work, tinting for blocking in or experimenting with colour then move onto the wet oily brush for painting. In this piece I also made use of a custom fern brush which looked like fish bones to me :P and a fingerprint brush for added texture.

 

The steps are pretty much the same as they were on the doubtful inquisitor (the previous tut) so I may only point out any differences or things worthy of note. Check the others in the series for a more comprehensive tut.
