I want to draw a couple of Easter egg shapes of different sizes for some artwork. I don't have anything egg shaped to draw around and I want a nice tidy even shape. I am thinking 4" to 8" on end to end.

Any ideas how to do it?

I have compasses/rulers etc.
Thanks.

Draw half an elipse for the top half using a piece of string and two pins and a semicircle for the bottom half with the compasses

What sort of egg are you trying to draw?

I have templates for chicken eggs, duck eggs, ostrich eggs and quail eggs that I can send you FOC. 🙂
