Practice! Practice! Practice!!
I am fascinated with the human face- I've always wanted to draw realistic features but just couldn't get it. I would set down and think, ok draw an eye. But, if broken down you don't see JUST an eye. You see circles, angles, squares and lines. I found a tutorial on Pinterest ( Sorry I don't have the link) that shows the eye and steps for drawing one. That is all well and good- the single eye here was drawn from that. The problem lies in the fact that doing two that mirror each other is a horse of a different color! I did it, but not without a headache in the end. My hand, eyes, and brain do not want to work together to do this. I tried, and will keep trying. Next will be the nose- and it is another thing I jsut have never been able to get figured out.

Yoiur eyes are really good. !!There's only one thing that leaps out..there should be an eye's width between the eyes.
ReplyDeleteI often make mistakes like this in my work, and it's not until I see a drawing in the mirror, or on a computer screen that I see them. Most artists use a device like this to spot their errors.When you're close to a work you've made you can't see them.
Keep going..your work is lovely.

I am soooo impressed! GREAT job. I'd love to draw, but just don't seem to have the knack.
