The eyes see



I decided that 2010 would be the year when I would learn how to draw and paint proper portraits and figures. I would like to use less and less ready images and more and more my own figures in my artwork. But of course you have to start small. I found this brilliant face drawing class by Monica Zuniga at the hands and heart Ning site http://handsandheart.ning.com/
Monica takes you really through it step by step. Here are my first efforts at drawing realistic eyes. Unfortunately the scans have come out pretty badly...

    I think that you have drawn those eyes magnificently, especially for your first attempt.

    Your eyes are wonderful, they really are. My problem is I can never get both eyes to look the same :)
