The Things I’ve Seen.
I have been drawing eyes since I was a child, ever fascinated by their singular expressiveness and the detail within. How the iris is like a fingerprint, how the lashes curl, the pupils and their changing diameter, the richness and color. I saw Donna Summer in a TV interview one late night many years ago saying the eyes were the windows to the soul. Though it’s a common phrase now it was the first time I had heard it and it made a difference. Drawing an eye is one of those default things I have, we all have. When I pick up a pen or pencil most of the time it’s the first thing I draw. I’ve drawn so many of them I don’t even bother to save them though some have been pretty cool. I think I’m going to be drawing a bit more too. Still doing it digitally though and possibly adding versions of the same image. At least that’s what this one inspired me to do. It’s my favorite hobby– making digital art.
