What kind of patterns are good to draw on eggs?

The beautiful patterns painted on the eggs include SpongeBob SquarePants, burgers, minions, strawberries, etc.

Egg painting is commonly known as painted eggs. Chicken and duck egg shells are strictly sterilized and painted on them. The paintings are divided into three categories: landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures. The pictures are fresh, concise, exquisite and cute. The eggshell is upside down and the surroundings are visible, giving people a three-dimensional effect. The group of paintings is covered with a delicate glass frame, which is unique. Chengdu in Sichuan, Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Lucheng, Ruian, Pingyang, Cangnan and other counties (cities and districts) all have production, and most of them are exported.

There are many types of egg painting designs. In summary, they can be divided into three categories: facial makeup, portraits, and "string paintings". The facial makeup is made with an egg as the head, and a face is painted on the front and back of the "head". Some of the compositions are based on dramatic facial masks such as the God of Wealth, Guan Yu, Arhat... and more are based on primitive religious theogony and secular figures.

For example, the God of Heaven, the Mother of Earth, the God of Hunting, the God of Water, the God of Mountains, the God of Animals, the Lady Who Sends Children, the God of Joy, the Birthday Star, the Golden Boy, the Jade Girl, the Dragon King... In principle, the composition of such pictures is not very good. It is not too detailed and too real, but it pays attention to understanding and exaggeration. Through color matching, harmony, foil, contrast, as well as the symmetry and echo of lines and patterns and other artistic techniques, it gives people a rich imagination and beauty.
