Description Im heading back to school in a few days, so this might be the last of my activity for a while.... maybe.

I've always wanted to draw an eye, and I did it today - may have rushed a bit - but overall its done.

My last scanner died, sadly, and my dad hooked up the printer scanner, but it is very dodgy, so i had to take a photo, so sorry if its grainy.

Estimate of 4-5 hours.
Anything from 2H to 6B

I got the beautiful stock from [link]

Comments are appreciated, and faves.

Wow, such brilliantly stunning work. I struggle with eyes and though I've not done one this up close before, smaller scale is still hard for me. This is great for help in trying to see the simplicity that's laced through the complex canvas of the eye. I really admire this.

nataliebeth In reply to SDA-MessengersOracle [2010-10-01 00:14:43 +0000 UTC]

Its actually easier on a larger scale because you have more room to make the eyes look effective, whereas smaller becomes very tricky.
Wow thats such a great quote, are you a poet by any chance? ^^ Thankyou so much. ^^

SDA-MessengersOracle In reply to nataliebeth [2010-10-01 05:57:38 +0000 UTC]

Oddly enough, I actually do pretty well with small scale on my eyes as opposed to my larger scale eyes. I guess someone has to be different.

And quote? You mean the eye being a canvas and blahdity-blah-blah? lol I'm not so much a poet as I am and Enchantress of many things...writing being one of them. (Been working on a novel 12 years so I've had lots of practice ). lol

And you're very welcome!

12 years? Goodness! It must be amazing! You should publish it and i shall buy and read it!
Really? Oh okay then, I guess we all just have different strengths, it would be good to be able to draw small for books because Im sure any drawings would be small.
Thanks again. ^^

Mashimoshi [2010-08-01 09:58:00 +0000 UTC]

For some reason, I thought it was your eye. It's sick how much details you have put into that eye!
The portrait looks simple but it's special. And the reflection is brilliant! I love the eyelashes too!

Hahah, don't throw up okay? Yeah well its a similar size and shape to my eye, but hers had alot of detail in it and I thought it would be great to draw.
Thanks for the comment hun.

nataliebeth In reply to Catssyclaws [2010-07-14 07:02:11 +0000 UTC]

Awww Thankyou! I guess because you drew it, you know where you rushed but everyone else doesn't notice it. Which is a good thing.
Thankyouuuu so much!!! <3

Catssyclaws In reply to nataliebeth [2010-07-15 05:00:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that's most likely it. I can see every mistake I make but when someone else looks at it they just see the whole picture instead of small minute things that went wrong. LOL

You're very welcome!

Yeh,it's very nice and I like how you drew the patterns in the eye,it's beautiful But I know what you mean by rushing Usually when I get bored, irritated by my drawing,I put it away for a while, because I don't want to ruin it.

Aawwh!

nataliebeth In reply to Nerafinuota [2010-07-14 07:03:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha i have trouble with putting it away, because I know when I go and do something else, i could have spent time on it. But eventually I get up and do something - like eat. MMMmmmm.
Thankyou!

Yeah,you feel guilty then Usually I forget my need for food when I get into drawing very much. I start at midday, have some breaks for going to the loo or computer and finish at midnight Ant then before bed my stomach starts growling like a lion

whoa dude! the reflection in the iris is brilliant x3 gosh it's just...so shiny; so big; so round; so preciouuuuusss!
i have been staring into this eye for 37 seconds now...
a-a-and it's really starting to creep me out! XD your draw is like popping out of the paper..no, the monitor! We are having a stare down here your draw is good at this game .. it's winning! and it's mocking me by staring at me...!
oh yeah? well not if I exit the page! - Ha!
Geez..Stop looking at me already...oooh i feel like someone's watching me!

My my my...I must say, that I am quite jealous of your ability to draw the most exquisite feature of the human face, the eye, in such a manner that a viewer [like me] begins to go bezerk to the fact that it looks so realistic and you become crazy in love with it that it just makes you want to die.
Oh my god, that was ...weird.

How do you do it? Like constantly keep leaving me such amazing comments, doesn't your niceness eventually disappear like mine and so i go running around throwing candles at peoples heads... okay maybe not exactly... but that reminds me of a song... well it has nothing to do with throwing candles at peoples heads- which I admit I don't do often- but I did however throw a pack of cards at my brothers face because he won a game of uno. He almost cried, I felt bad but then we played again and he won so I threatened him, but being a lovely sister I restrained myself.
I stress the question again... what were we talking about?

Right... I definitely think we should go stalk those poodles!
No thats not it.
Did you know I painted my nails black like bill and my dad told me to take it off?
Yeah. Seriously. But i love my dad.

*brainwave*

Thats right!
