Something About The Eyes . . .


After I finished the sketch from my last post I decided I wanted to try and sketch just one eye. I liked how my girls eyes came out more realistic. So here is my attempt at a realistic eye. I used graphite pencil on 5x8" paper. I think it came out really cool!

I don't know what it is with me but I really like sketching eyes! I want to try and paint this on a canvas, just this one lonely eye, so stayed tuned! I wanted to keep going and style it up with some makeup but I stopped myself because I thought it looked good as is for now! lol

PS . . . Today is the last day to enter book giveaway over at my blog In My Life! So if you haven't entered yet there is still time! All you have to do is leave a comment. Check out the details in this POST.
