Recently i started a new project and hopefully it will be a successful one. It all started with the human eye tutorial. After completing that tutorial i realized how beautiful eyes can be and how little we appreciate them. They are,in my opinion, one of the most valuable things that we possess. It allows us to see the world and what it has to offer. It gives us the opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest by experiencing all shapes,colors,textures and everything else that we see. Eyes not only serve us to see the world but are also incredibly beautiful.

Take a look at your eyes up close and you will realize that they so delicate and yet so full incredible textures and designs. Not one eye is the same, they may be the same color and shape but the designs that they each have is totally unique. This is not only true for people but for animal as well. I want to combine my appreciation for the beauty that eyes have with my passion for drawing.

This project will consist of creating,hopefully, the largest collection of eye drawings on the web. I have made a couple of drawings so far and there are many more to make. The project will involve all kinds of eyes, from people to animals. It will be a long term project, since im only one person and there are hundreds of animals and emotions that people express. I want to also involve the community and others by asking them to submit original content for any particular eye.

Im no expert on all animals, so it would be helpful to get some original information from people that are knowledgeable on that particular animal. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a description on the animal, it could also be a personal experience that you’ve had with them. It could also be any writing that was inspired by the eye/animal, thoughts, poems, etc. Your name/website or whatever you want will be credited with each article submitted. Well, you can check out the drawings that i have so far by going to http://www.eyesait.com(pronounced ‘eyesight’)

Let me know what you think and hopefully you can become part of this project. I would also like to take this time to thank everyone who has supported me. If you have any questions please contact me.

The eyes are the most important part of any pencil drawing. I believe its the part that you must dedicate the most time to. Without the eyes there is no life in the drawing. The secret to making realistic eyes are the subtle details that most us don’t see. These details even though small, when they come together can make a big difference in your final drawing. I’ll keep on repeating this, with all your drawings, study and understand what you’ll be drawing before you actually pick up the pencil. Continue reading »

I’ve always been asked how i draw cat eyes. These are the steps that i take to draw them and they are one of my favorite things to draw. Cat eyes are so beautiful, not only in color but the designs and depth that they have. They are beautiful animals, but we can all agree that their eyes makes them so much special. They look amazing when drawn in pencil. I love the size of their eyes, they are much bigger than the eyes of other animals which allows you to put in so much more detail and makes the animal come to life. Continue reading »
