Description This is my NEW final because my other one wasn't up to my own personal standards of excellence haha *but either is this one, but it's due in... 7 hours so this is as good as it's going to get*

This is an 18X24 charcoal eye study. The final was to be something 9 times. I chose eyes because I happen to favor eyes :]

In this piece
1st part
Lyn-Z of Mindless self indulgence *eye one*
Rose McGowan *under Lyn-Z*
Marilyn Monroe

2nd part
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe

3rd part
Marilyn Monroe
Rose McGowan
Ryann Donnelly of Schoolyard Heroes/Blood Cells


If you follow, there is a pattern :] It's not random. These 4 women are so influential to me *and so gorgeous!* they were a natural choice :]

I wish I could draw realistic eyes. But I can't xD

Drawing from a zoomed in picture reallllly helps! You can see every little shade change and once you get in the habit of drawing all that you see... <3

Practice! <3 thank you!
When I was younger *like 2 years ago lol* I had the hardest time making them look rounded as apposed to flat. Try drawing an eye from a very zoomed in picture, so you see every little shade change, it really helps ^^

At first my octo one wasn't real enough, then she said this one was too real. I'm like wtf, seriously? >.< so idk what I am going to get on it. I had no idea a drawing could be too real..

:] Thankyou!! I started out gridding *and i did two tutorials on how I draw with charcoal* but I'm trying to branch out of gridding but it really helps teach you! And hey, you don't suck, you are just not as good as you want to be ^^

Thanks for the comment! <3
