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

I literally just spent the last half-hour favorite-ing Macro shots, and I just happened to stumble on your account through a completely different search and found this. Yay for coincidences!
Lovely piece, by the way. I admire your shading!!!

How amazing! I love this, it's incredibly hyperrealistic. Anyway, the pupil seems to be dilating, indeed! Was that unintentional?

Thank you! At first it was unintentional, once I saw what was happening I worked on that effect more.

It's really impressive what your eyes can see and what your hands can do. Any tricks or suggestions? I've always been REALLY interested in this type of hyper-realistic drawing, therefore, I would really appreciate if you told me something to improve my drawings. I've never managed to do it properly... hehe

the eye is the one thing that intrigues me the most. it has the most interesting conglomoration of complexities of the human anatomy...that and the lips.

You know Linda, we have been looking at each other work for a long time, sure I have told you how much I like you drawings and this one is no exception actually itβs a marvel of clarity and cements what a pencil can do in the hand of someone who can really see.
But beyond this drawing, what you have accomplished as an artist and teacher is to be commended, I for one am proud to know you my friend
