So I said to my one eyed girlfriend "Iris," sez I "how many hearts have you broken with that great big beautiful eye?" I like the bird shaped catchlight on the pupil.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Is this your eye?

It is a young eye without the creases of life showing through. The detail is well drawn, realistic and the eye catch, that pop of reflection in the pupil is drawn and applied well.

You have also shown light source and show varying tonal values on this print with the eye being in shadow somewhat and the nose and forhead lighter tones.

I just had a look at my eye and noticed that my eyebrow comes down a bit further on the bony orbit. We are all different, yet the same!

An eye catching (ahem) post.

Thanks so much for your great review. Not my eye - too young for mine! Based on my granddaughter's.

A perfect entry for this contest. The subtle colors all around bring out the dramatic effect of that Blue eye. Excellent details and blending of colors. Well done. Best of fortune in the contest ~ Steve

Impressive blue eye.
Recessive genes?
Realistic rendition with fine features & textures.
3 dimensional convex eyeball..
Nice skin tones.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Best of luck in the contest!
Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...

Wow this is an awesome entry into contest and the detail of the eye is superb. The light reflected and the eyelashes you look twice - is it a photo? no you have done amazing job with pencils and watercolors.
