EDM Challenge 33: Draw an Eye

Well, I drew two, just not a matched pair. I have very deep set eyes, so I do tend to gravitate toward bedroom eyes. I am preparing myself to try actual faces. Facial shading really interests me and I am ready to try a portrait. Karen's watercolor was inspiring. I might start with a photo reference before I try a live model.




I am actually very pleased with each of these drawings. Especially, since they are my first real attempt to draw an eye. Of course the real challenge is making eyes look right in the context of a face.

Karin, Lisa and I all drove down to Tylertown (about 90 miles each way) to pick up some fleece and meet the sheep at Divine Sheep Farm. The owner was very kind and she found me online and offered us the fleece if we would drive down to pick it up. It will be a lot of work, but you sure can't beat the price! Karen took two bags and I put the rest in my greenhouse. Most of it will be destined for other spinners, but I will keep a little for myself. If the weather is nice next week, I will try to sit outside and pick over the wool before I start washing.
