Drawing a Realistic Eye with Graphite

Hello, Maria!Wow, it's more than decent, I absolutely love it! Congratulations!If you haven't yet, please, leave a review for this class, it means a lot to me :)Thanks for watching the videos and sharing your drawing!Cheers!

Will do! Thank you very much! I am learning a lot with your lessons. Having patience is key. I have a little trouble choosing the grade of pencil. I find if I overuse the hard pencil it is hard to get a very dark value. Like the tooth of the paper does not accept more graphite? Do you have any tutorials on textures from nature, like trees and rocks?
Thanks so much Matheus!!!

I thank you, Maria =)

1 - Graphite has its limitations when it comes to dark values, even if you use 8B or even darker grades. You could try carbon pencils like Staedtler's Black pencils or Faber-Castell's Pitt Graphite Matt, just to name a few. They blend very well with regular graphite pencils.

2 - I haven't yet, but I intend to record classes on different subjects! I will be back to record more classes in a few months, I just have to finish a book about realistic drawing I am writing right now.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask, ok?

Cheers!

Thanks so much for all the tips! I will try now to do the portrait of Natalie Portman next. A book! FANTASTIC! Would like to purchase it once it's released.
I can't find the tab where to leave a review.  It is in this discussion forum?

I realized I can't find where to leave a review by the app as well... I use Skillshare only on the the computer and there is a tab like "About", "Projects" and "Discussions". If you don't use it on a computer, it's ok ;)

And yes, the book is going to be about everything I know on realistic drawings using graphite, carbon and charcoal :D

I messed up with the eyelashes. Too many... but overall your wonderful instruction allowed me to draw a decent first eye. Thank you very much!!!
