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...

Well, the "eyes" have it! Bad pun, Bad! You are off to a good start.
Your eyes are wonderful, they really are. My problem is I can never get both eyes to look the same :)
You are definitely a talented artist. Your eye sketches are lovely.
Your eyes are beautiful!
Blessings,
Caron
