Description Critiques would be lovely. (I really want to improve.)

Watercolour and fineliner (which I soon found out wasn't waterproof. -.-)

I started doing some watercolour paintings of eyes. I really love the works of and , so this was inspired by them. 
I had a Christmas gift of watercolour pencils (pencils?! I managed. Somehow.) that was given to me 2 years ago. (And I requested it, so I feel really bad that I haven't used it for 2 years D:


Thanks to:
=PixieCold 's video: [link]  (Image on dA )
~cyanide-rain-stock for the reference photo: [link] (well, at the start. We all know I find it difficult to stick to the reference.


Hopefully I will be able to post more up soon. I've got some late Mother's Day's gift I have to finish...

Sorry about the bad picture quality, I don't have a good camera D:. (I really, really want a Digital SLR camera but I don't have the money to by it *cries*)

Not too sure what to put this as... help?

But I think you could add some darker hues in the eye, and different kinds of blue in the paint splash thing or a different color, like some purple paint. In my opinion, it would look more interesting if it's not just one kind of blue. The whole thing looks really nice, though. The eyelashes are very pretty...so good job

(Missed this comment, woops.) Thank you for the critique! I've used 3 types of blue in this (I've only got 3 types anyway), but yes, I can see what you mean. Thanks for picking up on it, I will take your advice next time. Thank you!

You did a great job here! For some reason, I always have problems with drawing the eyelashes. I know, right!? Should be the easiest part to draw but, alas, it always eludes me!! Ha!

Lani-is-NINJA In reply to ALLthingsPURPLE-51 [2013-05-17 00:01:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, same with me- I find eyelashes extremely hard to draw, especially without a source.
