Description
“The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.” ~ Wassily KandinskiTools:
Crayons, Pen, Photoshop, iPhone4
Process:
Photoshop manip of the iris of my crayola drawing: latinabarbie.deviantart.com/ar…
I drew the eye with crayon, photographed it and posted it in the link above. I then selected the iris only and put it in a separate file in photoshop. I used the liquify tool so that it was a perfect circle and added a slight shadow to the corners, liquified the pupil to form a heart and adjusted the colors with a 30% gradient overlay and brought out the white in the highlights. Added a layer of stars as an extra touch. The reason I manipulated the photo is for a circle shaped necklace I am making with just the iris. But then after I was done I thought, hmmm wonder what it would look like if I put the iris back in the original photo. This was the result.
Side note: Keep the cleavage jokes to yourself, don't waste your time because I will delete them! Unless you're a home schooled per-pubescent 14 year old teen that just discovered the internet for the first time through this photo, there's really nothing you haven't seen here before! Plus, there are plenty much more revealing images on dA to keep you entertained. I really don't seen the big deal. But I digress...
These are the exact dimensions of the photo without a crop as it was taken. Instead of cropping the photo, i left the entire photo as it was taken to show perspective of what I could see as the photo was literally being taken from my face. I opened up the TimerCam app on my iPhone, set it for 5 seconds, positioned myself and my hands as you see here and snapped the photo with my top lip. Took a few tries before I got this shot
To see more of my art go to facebook.com/ARTfromtheheART | instagram artisticalshell as i don't post on dA often due to time restrictions.

thank you. not everybody needs to like it, but it's just really rude to go into somebodies art piece and bash it. there is really no point to that other than to try to belittle another person's style. not cool and i avoid doing that to others and even if it's not my cup of tea, i find the good in it and say what i do like. thank you for appreciating though !

im guessing the ones making the comments on cleavage must be early teens or very lonely people that don't socialize with anybody else other than their art supplies and computers. either way, thanks.

Allmost true
But what I am saying is what others are thinking, this is just how men are.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
isn't that a given? What's the point of pointing it out? How old are you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My point is, if you want people to admire your art, not you, don't get your twins involved.
Old enough to see when someone is cheating
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yep either a teenager or lonely geeky guy hiding behind his computer. Grow up and get a social life buddy, nobody is cheating here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think geek would have nerves to make that kind of comment. It is interesting to see that you got so upset with all of this. Makes me ponder, why?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Upset no, annoyed at the immaturity, sure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
nope but i enjoy blocking people like you. dismissed!

Annoyed so easily... Why you even answered to it when you don't want to talk to me? Or may be you like to be annoyed

I think you put it in a good category. It wouldn't be ok in drawings, because I think that the original iris and pupil drawn with crayons is much worse than this one - therefore this seems very very photoshoped, almost done completely digitally.
However, it's a nice idea, I like that I can see space (I mean stars) in the pupil. The colours of the iris (done with photoshop, unfortunately) are beautiful.
It doesn't amaze me, though, because the iris in THIS picture wasn't done with crayons and the former iris that you actually DID with crayons really is not impressive at all.
If this was done with crayons... That would be WOW.
