Feeling that left part of the eye needs more depth at this point since i am clearing and defining the areas. I drew another shape. For some of you out there these shapes are NOT perfect ones , This is what i am keeping it intentionally . i believe thing is original if it has a few flaws many wont agree with me here . but…. you are welcome to draw perfect shapes … i dont want the work to be too technical 🙂

050 An expressive shining eye tutorial :Part II

Since the eye is a shining one it will be reflecting the eyelashes so i dragged out another symbol of hair from the symbols pallette . and dropped , inverted , reflected it .and reduced the transparency of it.

051 An expressive shining eye tutorial :Part II

Draw another stroke over the pupil area.
