It's the Eyes


Well, I just can't seem to get off this theme at the moment. It's partly because I have 'artist's block'. But this process is so enjoyable, and that's part of the point, isn't it?

Colored pencil on drafting film, 8.5 x 11".

  5. In a lesser artist's hands this kind of precise rendering is often tedious and dry. But when you do it it is magic--expressive and beautiful.
