Description I want to learn to draw more realistically, so I tried out an eye. I'm pretty happy about how it turned out

Took me around 1,5 hours.

To get the gradient effect, I used a variety of different black pencils, and smeared it with a cotton swab.


Edit: Wow! Barely 5 minutes and I have already got such nice comments and what not. Thank you all so much! <3

Really? But i was just being honest?

Okay, i wonder how good the rest of your art is, hmmm, i shall ponder no further. I'm signing out soon and going to sleep, but before that would it be alright if i went through some of your gallery???

I have mental images of people looking like factories pooping out art, not a nice image. But has a point. Factory art really is just sh...Not gonna finish the word

Yeah, I find it important to take time to create and finish your art. Usually, you can really see how much work the artist have put into an image, and I love that

Same here, the more effort the more depth. When you look at art you sometimes can see the artists state of mind at the time.

That's exactly the wonderful thing about art. That you are able to express yourself through pictures, and that people can relate

I get frustrated or side tracked. The etching image i had was the only one to survive my rage induced fit. Art brings out the anger in me. Its funny when i think back to it

True. I get frustrated myself, because it's the rarest times that I'm able to create the same idea, that I had inside my head.
