Omg … Phil.. I just started this fried egg tutorial and I seriously love it… I’m just starting the yolk … I’m so so so serious about learning coloured pencil …
Looks great. A list of the actual colour of pencil used upfront would be really useful, especially if colour matching, but thanks for sharing your tutorial.
I don't normally like still-life works and much prefer animals/birds, but I do appreciate what you do. I also don't have any coloured pencils except pastel pencils so not sure if I will try this with them. However, it's always interesting watching you work the different shading etc. Thank you.
UPDATE - I bought some cheap Faber-Castell Eco pencils from a charity shop for a ridiculous price of £2,50. I have done the pear now, three times, and they turned out OK, apart from one on Ingres paper that leaves lines cutting through the pear. Full of confidence then I had a go at this and a bit of a disaster. My egg shell was too dark and the egg itself wasn't as tasty looking. I wonder again if it was the paper, Strathmore 400 grey mixed media. I had to press on quite heavily to get the white to work at all. It doesn't look too bad, I guess, but not happy with it. It has convinced me to get some decent pencils now though, maybe Prismacolor or FBs, not sure yet.
I agree with you about using a paper with some color to it. White isn't interesting, or its harsh sometimes. I wonder what you think of a warmer tone than grey for some work, like a light tan or ivory, parchment looking? Sometimes I like the more creamy look. Does grey give some better advantage than those?
I am also having problems with the reference photos. I have tried downloading on my iPhone, and by using the Firefox, Chrome, and Edge browsers as well as Instagram. I just get the 'photo currently unsupported' message. I seems there is an issue with the original files. Many thanks though Phil for the excellent tutorial.
Hi Phil! Since the links are not working, I wanted to offer this: I have these fried egg references from the ArtTutor that I can send you so you can correct the links there. OK?
The downloads are not working. Error message. Sorry, Photos can't open this file because the format is currently unsupported or the file is corrupted. I also tried photoshop and the pictures show as blank.
If you're still having issues downloading the reference photos, please let me know below. The bug before should be fixed now.
Fixed for me at least. Thank you.
Hi, just followed your instructions & after 2 days have completed with your super teaching the egg & shell. Thanks very well taught.
Thank you, this was an awesome tutorial. Only just started using colour pencils. I’m thrilled with the result!

Thank you, you are the best I have seen

Phil, your teaching is so good. I had limited colour pencils and I am so pleased with my result. I learnt a lot from this session alone. Thank you.
Wow!
same thing I wanted to comment!
Eggs-cellent way to shell out the instruction.
Haha that cracked me up

Thanks for fixing the download. I need to give this a shot.
I downloaded the reference photos but couldn't open them. This looks great by the way.

What kind of paper are you using?

I too, am having the same problem with the egg and the eggshell. I can’t save the jpg, nor open in in Instagram.
I seem to be having problems accessing the reference pics.
Can not open Jpeg file
The download links does not work!
