Description
Well, it's been a while since I drew anything. Yesterday as I was sitting in the dentist's waiting-room (otherwise known as the devil's own lair) I decided to pull out my trusty paper and pencils. (Yes, THAT is what's hiding in my enormous purse). (Ok, along with everything else you could ever need for survival.) (All right, fine, and everything else you would NOT need for survival...)In any case.
I remembered the tremendous job my friend did with her recent eye study's...and I was motivated to try one of my own. I knew it'd be rough, as my drawing style has never been much for specific detail (i do way too much blending and shading) but you have to start somewhere right?
So here's my first attempt. - Female eye/sunset reflection
About 4.5 hrs to complete. Graphite (7H, 8B, & HB), Soft Charcoal, and ink pen (celia).
I'm trying to learn here, so any critique appreciated

Simply beautiful ...
The eyelashes look so nice and the reflection of the sunset really adds a tranquil atmosphere to the drawing ~

Beautiful eye! I'd critique if I had anything to say, but all I can say is, wonderful! And I like your signature, too!

Absolutely stunning.
And I'm from Missouri too. Well, my family is. I don't live there anymore, thank God.

Hey buddy!!!!! I think you did a superb job on this
I had to laugh a little with recognition when I saw, and wondered if I had perhaps encouraged you.....and yep, there it was in your comment!
The shading looks great and I think the reflection in the eye is perfect. Just wondering about the white line which is the rim of the eye lid underneath, it looks a little wavering, not straight I mean, but then I don't know what the ref. picture looks like..

Thanks Connie, sure did. Your greatness has spawned a monster. muwahaha
You're right about the white line. I think that is a fault of mine, accidentally shading over it, then trying to fix it with my kneaded eraser. Didn't turn out so straight.

This is beautiful!! I absolutely love the reflection in her eyes. It gives the picture so much more life! The eyelashes are amazing, too. I have such a hard time with eyelashes. This is such a motivation! :3
