Eye Drawing

At this point in my eye drawing, I had finished putting down the initial value of the iris and the white part of the eye. I had added the reflections from the window and put in the reflection of my eyelashes. The next step is to add the value for my skin. Instead of putting the value directly on the drawing and then blending it, I put value on another sheet of paper and picked it up with th blender. This gave a smoother look for the skin. For the iris, because I put the pencil value directly on the drawing, it showed the texture more. After smoothing out the skin, I realized that the iris and skin turned out to be about the same shade. To fix this I made the iris darker. The next step (which I am currently working on) is to add the eyelashes. It seems easy at first, but it turns out to be pretty challenging. You have to get each one in the perfect spot. What I really like about my eye drawing is how the iris really pops out. One thing I would change would be some parts of the skin. Some parts were worked to much and some just not blended enough. Overall I am really proud of my eye drawing so far.
