Do You Like Eggs?

Our second painting assignment was to paint a spherical object using a monochromatic colour scheme (after doing thumbnails, of course).  My first go at it failed quite sadly: I knew Alizaron Crimson was going to give me troubles, since it's such a "thin" colour.  I ruined it, however, by adding a splotch of darkness that messed the whole thing up.  It's quite obvious.  Anyway, I went back to good old blue for my second try, and that turned out much better.
