The reference image used to do this drawing can be found in the Resources area.

Draw in the details of the egg55:17
Drawing in the details can be tricky for this fried image which is mainly due to the subtle variations in the color tones.
I first refine the egg yolk and then try get more variations of the subtle tonal changes to the while and yellow.
The shade tool can leave a hazy edge to the drawing, so I swtich to the line tool to refine the edges. You can approach the drawing with your own style just to see the types of effects that can be created.
Don't feel disappointed if you are unable to get the results you are looking for, the important thing is to develop your techniques as you go along and this will help you to make your drawings better.
