Go to File, New and open a new image - 450 by 450 pixels, a Raster Background, and color white.
Click OK.
Click on preset shape tool
Click on the Ellipse tool.
Materials palette..pick your colors
In the Tool Options palette set the Mode to Draw Ellipse, and set the line width to 1.
Make sure Antialias and Create as vector are checked.
Begin by drawing a medium sized ellipse shape about half the height of the image window.
You can resize this later if you need to by clicking on the Object Selector tool.

Select your pen tool
Right click on the oval>convert to path

This is what your oval should now look like...see the 4 nodes?

We will be working with the bottom three nodes...

See where I have the number one? click on that node...now, you will see the arrow..
Now..hold down the shift key and click on the nodes where I have the numbers 2 and 3..this is what you will see as you click






Now, where I had the number 1 and where I have an arrow pointing in the below screenie..push up...just a little..until you get the egg shape...
Once you have the shape you want...left click in a blank area of your image. (outside of the oval).



Hope this helps...
hugs, dee
