I have blue eyes. Everyone in my class seemed to like this one a lot. I think it came out good. This was for my figure drawing class.

I powdered down prismacolor pastels and added water then toned the paper like watercolor paint. Then I sketched in the the proportions and the shadow shapes with a hard charcoal pencil. Then I powdered down down a darker brown and painted a flat tone for the shadows. Then I just draw over everything with pastels adding more colors and darker tones. With an electric eraser you can easily erase any part of the drawing down to pure white. It's a really quick easy way to do a painting/drawing in color.
My amazing heads and hands teacher Zimou taught us this method.
