Description This is not my eye, by no means.
This is just a simple charcoal drawing that I had to do for my drawing class. At first I had planned on doing a hand drawing, however, my teacher said no, so I had to think of something else... and ever since I saw an eye tutorial on here, I have really been into drawing the eye, and perfecting it. So, I googled a picture of an eye, grayscaled it... and created this. Copyrights Reserved (C) to the photographer of this eye (sorry I can't find it on Google)

Apparently, everybody has liked this piece... and I even won an award for it (go figure), it has been all over CT and I don't even know why. Personally, I hate it. Everything about it is so... wrong. But I figure, if everyone I know loved it, something must be good about it... right?

So when I saw the News Post for the Eye Drawing Contest [link] I jumped at the chance to submit this... and well, see where I get with it on here.

WOW! Thats so cool! I just finish my self- protait we had to do in art class. To me, drawing a realistic eye didn't seem all that hard... (what i hated was drawing the nose(it looks like a tree branch!))

Anyways, that eye is even better than what my art teacher drew! Great Job!

THANK YOU!
I hear ya... for a long time, when I was little-er, I never drew noses, not one... but look up some tutorials on here, and you'll be drawing noses so well, it'll look so real the you'd wanna pick 'em!
I can't wait to see your self-portrait! You need to submit it, actually, you MUST!

I wish i can submit my self portrait, but i can't. My art teacher has. She said she'll gives us our drawings back maybe by the end of school. But as soon as i get it, I'll submit!

By the way, what do u mean about "tutorials on here"? Are they really helpful? Just wondering ^-^

And...

YOU BETTER GET IT! OR ELSE!!
I am soo excited to see it!

And in the little search box, just type in 'tutorial', and you'll get a whole bunch of useful, sometimes crappy tuts, but! the ones that are good, will change yo' life fo'evva! AND! You can also narrow down your search... so let's say you wanted to search drawings>encil>ortraits... yadda yadda yadda, you'll get a tone of "How To..." tuts mainly realistic portraits, therefore helping you step by step to create a realistic portrait, with realistic NOSES!

AND I FREAKIN' LOVE THAT HIGE SMILEY!!!!!
(ok, I'm done, haha.)
