Sketchbook 10.May 01
In this entry theres no digital artwork, only sketches drawn on paper. Not because I wanted to dedicate it to only traditionally drawn content, though that would be nice, it’s simply because lately I haven’t really done much digitally that I’ve felt worth showing off.
And as you can see my craze for drawing eyes continues, what can I say… I like eyes. ![]()
But also I’m getting quite good at the topology and structure of the eye, and enjoy drawing them therefore.
As always, enjoy!

“Iridescent” – Eye Illustration
Here’s my latest creation. I used this as my reference. It’s drawn on a sheet of A5 paper using Derwent Studio Color Pencils. Sadly I did not have that many colors (only 24 to be specific), so I figure I could have made the image better and more vibrant if I had had more hues of each color to pick from. The image itself took somewhere around 2 to 3 hours. The process was first rough sketching to get all the proportions right, then erasing and defining the lines that I wanted. Next I started coloring and whenever I reached some of the linework I erased it out so I could have the color define the shapes instead. I started the coloring with iris of the eye, which was the part that took the longest and was by far the most complex part of the image. And then I just kept moving outwards from the center iris and ending with doing the eyelashes.
