    I decided to draw my own eye, just to see how it came out!
    This took me about an hour and a half.

    Tools:
    -B pencil
    -6B pencil
    -tissue
    -mirror
    -reference pic

    I'm sorry for the small size, photoshop doesn't work at this pc, so I have to use the small deviantart-version!

    Where did you learn to draw like that Stinging Pistol? I would like to learn to sketch like that, too.

    I taught myself! Just by drawing a lot, and trying new things :)
    It's possible to learn it in less than a year since I've been drawing for about 9 months now...

    I'd recommend starting to draw without smudging the pencil strokes, to make sure you're also able to draw smoothly without blending. (try and draw the lines so close together you don't see the strokes anymore)
    After a few months you can start experimenting with some tissues or pieces of cotton. Kneadable erasers are also a nice tool I often do overuse a little.

    Good luck!

    Thanks very much SP. I'll give it a try. Wish me patience:) I also noted the pencils you used so I can try the tecnhique you recommended. I am looking forward to seeing more of your sketches. Great work.

    real fine work. Gave me the idea to draw my eye in a surrealistic way, the blue part.
    And art is from your wildest dreams. once upon a time............

    really nice shading

    love the way that you captured the depth of the iris

    only critique i have is that the bloodshot lines are a bit too defined/contrived, and there might be some way of bringing in the backlight of the lashes. they seem a little flat.

    ablsolutely glorious scupting of the upper lid though, and love the freckles on the nose slope. you have a lot of talent

    do you ever play with colour?
