My Left Eye
My Left Eye
Not quite my left eye… I took a photo for reference and ended up with a fair bit of barrel distortion on one side of the photo. I think when drawing this, I over compensated in trying to correct the barrel distortion. The photographer part of mind was in conflict with the drawing part.
I am not a keen fan of drawing eyes. When doing storyboards or concept art, as you can see in some old storyboard drawings here. I find the moment you start drawing eyes, you start defining the character and I’m not arty enough to go down that path.
One tip that has been engraved in my mind, from yonks ago. Is the whites of the eye are never ever pure white. and if you zoom in, you should just be able to see a fine shade over the eye white. This is the third drawing I have done of part of myself, and over at my other blog, I have stitched the three together as a self portrait WIP which you can see here
