These 3 pictures show selected moments from the drawing. For every step in between and a guide on your canvas, get the full lesson in LittlePaper.
What you will learn
Practice this visual check: Limit the cross slashes to the body of the basket, leaving blank space on the inside of the handle and above the egg.
Shapes and proportions
Three horizontal arcs first determine the mouth and bottom of the basket. Diagonal lines connect the two sides, and a semicircular double-line handle is connected to the top; the basket body intersects diagonal lines to form a grid, and oval eggs are placed in the basket.
A common mistake
Draw the braided thread directly into the handle gap, and the basket will become a piece of floral cloth.
How to fix it
Limit the cross slashes to the body of the basket, leaving blank space on the inside of the handle and above the egg.
These three images are key-stage previews: the starting shape, the completed outline, and a new crayon color study. Follow the complete drawing sequence in LittlePaper. On paper, leave room around the first shape for the parts added later.

Select the color of the part to complete the crayon draft
The woven basket is warm brown, the handle is beige brown, the bow is golden, and the egg is pink, green and blue. Apply the color first with light pressure, leaving the black outline, and then compare pairs of parts using the same color.
