Description
"Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?"-Bob Marley
Media Recipe: 95% Crayolas 1% ballpoint pen 4% my little secret...Creativity: Infinite.
tips: using crayons means using layers so soft strokes is key. also start with light colors first and work your way to the shadows at the end. i started this piece using the peach color crayon to make the outline and figure.

Good guess! The veins are in crayon. The lashes on top are as well. The lashes in the iris some are pen as well as some of the tiny details in the iris

LOL I've been playing around with various pictures; I'm a huge Ricardo Montalban fan, and I love any of his characters! Senor Senior Senior is such an adorable cartoon villain!

simply amazing, I think the way you bent your fingers to make it look as if your fingers were actually prying apart the eye's eyelids was simply brilliant.

just a suggestion here but it will be cooler if you draw a silhouette in the eye, as if, casting reflections.
Very clever work, well done.

I love when artists make such masterpieces using materials that many others label as "inferior." I'm very impressed by the reflection of light in the iris.
I feel a DD coming on
