Description I thought I'd succumb to social norms and draw an eye. 'Cause apparantly you've got to have at least one eye drawing in your gallery

This was actually harder than I expected it to be! I always love drawing eyes but, at some points, this drove me insane. And the funny thing is, I found the eyebrow the hardest to draw The lashes on the other hand, oh boy. I'd expected those to be so very hard, but they actually weren't, so I had a lot of fun drawing those. Drawing the diamonds was weird too, all those awkward shades, but I think they came out okay.

I'm a bit cross with myself as I damaged the paper for no reason at all But then again, I was told this paper was evil, so I guess I could always say it had nothing to do with me

As always, my scanner ate part of the shading.

I used the lovely by ~fiixx as reference

I can't look into this drawing for too long because my eyey start to "leak" (what's the word when tears come out, but you're not crying? ) when I see where are these diamonds placed hehhee. You did really amazing job with everything. I like it very much!

I don't know what the word is either, but I know what you mean I had the same, so I have no idea how she pulled that off!

Thanks!

Great! I especially love the shadings of her Iris and the jewels, they have so much contrast and details, looks very naturalistic

Eyebrows are those things you think are going to be easy, but then turn out to be not

naturalshocks [2010-11-06 15:49:12 +0000 UTC]

You should be ashamed! But I forgive you for this eye, because you're my friend and I love you and also because this drawing kicks ass.

The diamonds look great, I personally love drawing shiny stuff, they're easy to do and the outcome is always very realistic. Admit it, you had fun with them, you can tell it simply by looking at them.

N0rks In reply to naturalshocks [2010-11-06 20:37:35 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad I got away with drawing an eye

Thanks! It felt a bit weird to draw the diamonds because I didn't have to shade them or anything I definately want to draw more diamonds and shiney stuff in the feature though, because yeah, I had fun
