Eye Drawing -Ryder

This is a picture of my eye that I made in art class using value pencils. For example we had 2H, HB, B, 2B, 4B and 6B. It all started with looking at a close-up photograph of my eye. Then I started sketching just the shape of my eye, and then I went into my iris and pupil with the lightest pencil (2H) and then went darker until it was as dark as my eye. I then sketched the details of my skin around my eye. To make it all look smooth, I used something called a blending stump. Then finally, I added my eyelashes. I feel really good. I feel like this is probably the best drawing I’ve done in Art class. Something that I would maybe change is make the eyelashes a little bit smaller and less dark, but overall I feel like I did great!
