Sunny side up eggs and bacon sketch by John LeMasney via 365sketches.org #cc-by #creativecommons #illustration
Today’s sketch is a face made of two sunny side up eggs with a side of bacon. I love me some breakfast, and with the holidays come some pretty good ones traditionally. With the face theme, I just figured I’d have some fun with eggs. In Inkscape, I used the Bezier tool to make an outline of the egg, slightly blurred (not shirred) and put two yellow ellipses (and white highlight ellipses), converted to paths and tweaked them with the node tool for the yolky eyes. I then took a wavy path, applied a simple pattern to the path, then converted to a path and colored it in for the bacon. Then I added some streaks of various colors for the marbling. I duplicated the bacon and flipped it, since I have never seen two pieces of identical bacon, and don’t know anyone who eats one piece of bacon with two eggs. Finally, I duplicated the layered pieces of bacon and made them gray and blurred, then sent them to the back to create an underlying shadow for some depth. Fun and tasty looking.
