Share in this thread close ups on EYES and NOSES

Here is a piece to show examples of eyes and nose. This is on a black Ampersand board and I used the scratchboard tool with both the pointed and broad nibs as well as tan X-Acto knife with a #11 blade.
1) Eyes and Nose.
2) The Eyes. This close up and isolated the eye looks strange, but when it is in the whole picture it works and even helps in convincing that the lighting is harsh.
3) The Nose. I used the broad nib for the highlight on the nose.

Here are some eyes and noses from the cheetah and lion worlds to show the different techniques I use. In some cases, I stipple (dots), in others I use lines and sometimes I use a random technique (technically known as my ‘higgledy piggledy’ technique
)Lion coloured with watercolours

Here ya Go Diana, I animated it for you…:)
I had to Make the last frame fit as you sized it differently. It looks good even though it’s more pixelated.

Here is a close up on the eyes of a baby gorilla. The actual piece is only 5″x5.5″ so this is MUCH magnified. The eyes were scratched with an exacto, and then the shadowed eye was reinked with diluted black ink.

The golden eagle’s eye was the most complex eye I have done to date. done with #11 exacto.
And an eagle’s beak is his nose…. right
The dark lines that go over the beak were put back in after the rest with a fine tipped black marker.

The eyes were the focus for this wolf piece and I chose to lighten them significantly from the ref photo to make them more dramatic.
About life size…
And much magnified…
