Description
This eye will be part of a series I am beginning called "Body Language". Drawing something as delicate as the iris took a lot of time, I had to put down light layers and blend over and over again to give it that soft, moist realistic look.While drawing I began seeing an optical illusion, the pupil looked to be dilating, which in this case was very fitting.
15 x 20 inches (actual drawing is 13x7.5) - Nielsen Bainbridge Illustration board - 3b Mechanical Pencil - 3b, b, h graphite - plain tissue and blending stumps - 10 days

This is the 'highest impact' eye drawing I've ever seen. I think it draws its power from the intense blacks used, and the silky-smooth value gradients. Mesmerizing.

Beautiful and powerful piece. I'm currently working on a similar close up of an eye and I'm finding the Iris very tricky. My ref photo hasn't quite got the vivid detail of the iris that yours has, but is has more reflection and highlights. Your description of the technique used is very helpful.
I love your work!
