Doodle Easter Eggs

Doodle Easter Egg Decorations

Would you like to make your own unique decorations for Easter?
It's easy and the result will look really beautiful.

Usually you have everything at home you need to make these pretty paper eggs.

I hope you will have fun with these instructions :)

How to start

Eggs

To give you an easy start with the egg shape I made a quick graphic with slightly different egg shapes.

Change them to the size you like and print them on thick paper.

Next step

Eggs

You can use the outline image above and then add your own new basic lines to add the first detail lines, or you can print this image to have an image which has the basis lines ready for you.

I did them in light grey. If you paint over the light grey with black. the premade outlines will not be visible any more.

Paint over the outlines

Now choose one of the eggs and start with redrawing the outlines with a black micro pen.
Don't try to be 100% accurate :) You are doing a hand drawn image and it will never be as accuracte as a computer image.

But we don't try to simulate a printed image ;)

Next step

On this image I filled a few shapes with an easy pattern to show how we continue

And continue

I added a few more lines.
Everything looks really simple at the moment :)

I added the first fill pattern

On this image I added the first smaller details

And more small pattern

Continue

You will see now the progress of filling all shapes with different pattern.

And more pattern

Last details

Ok - I think it is finished now :)

Of course this is only an example. The possibilities of the filling pattern are endless.
You could also fill the shapes with geometrical pattern, dots, hearts, flowers or even with little eggs filled with pattern :)

If you like, color your image now or use it as it is.

Draw your eggs on colorful paper

Instead of drawing on white paper, you could also draw them on colored paper.

The images in this lens

All images above are digital images. They were not painted on paper - so your own images will look different than these images.

The basic outline image (first image) was done with Illustrator and all other images were done with Photoshop.

Nevertheless the images are all hand drawn - because I drew the on my Cintiq (drawing tablet).

My "toolbox" for making these images

Btw. I am still using Photoshop CS3 - but it is not available any more so I just added Photoshop CS5
