Description After spending so many hours on my last drawing, I felt like doing something a little less time-consuming - so I set myself a challenge this morning: I would try to finish a new drawing in one day. The perfectionist in me couldn't handle doing a quick-and-dirty portrait (I officially suck at quick-and-dirty drawings - I'm way too obsessed with details to pull them off), so I figured I'd do another eye drawing. I had to rush a few things (to the great dismay of my perfectionist alter ego) because I really wanted to finish it, so it's definitely not perfect. However, I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.

This is amazing, how did you get such a nice blend in the pupil? Also how did you create the reflection on the eye?

Suanin In reply to Vampiress007 [2011-01-07 16:50:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
I always use tissues, cotton buds, and blending stumps for blending. I didn't really apply a special technique to create the reflection in the iris; I just followed the reference picture very closely, and I chose to leave the space blank instead of erasing it. In my experience, that makes it stand out even more.
