Drawing the Human Eye, Free Art Tutorial



http://www.artgraphica.net/free-art-lessons/free-art-tutorials/drawing-eyes-tutorial.htm

I like this tutorial a lot. I'm going to come back to it when I'm more awake (and have better supplies!) and try it again.

Things that I did differently that affected my outcome:
I used a baaaaad picture of my own eye for my model.
I used two different quality Number 2 pencils. One had a really bad eraser, so I used that to smudge.

The only thing that I was left wanting at the end of this tutorial was that I would really have liked to see the picture he used for his model to compare.

I'm pretty impressed with myself. Compared with what I would have drawn yesterday, my eye skills are improved leaps and bounds. Here are pictures of my eye and my other eye.

Sorry, that the pictures aren't better. It's the middle of the night so I just used my phone!

Welcome to School!

I would loooove to go to art school, but I've got a paintbrush and a can of beans, so that's not going to happen any time soon. Figure, I need to enroll in this here Hobo Art School. If'n you're hankerin for some artsy schooling for the price of a mouse click, stick around!

I'll be reviewing and compiling websites that offer free lessons. And, since we've got to eat something, I'll share some of "art" after I've finished a lesson or two.
