Eye Drawing Number Eighteen

Eye drawing number eighteenMichelle’s left eye.

I think the lack of drawing practice recently does show a bit in this one. The lines describing the bagunder her eye are a little heavy comparatively. Not very flattering, but she has been working long hours lately somaybe I should have kept quiet about that and I could have got away with it.

Not too bad overall though. What I like about it is that I can feel the shape of her eye underneath the skin,nestling in the socket. If I hadn’t overstated some of the lines it would have come out better.
