Symbol VS Actual Image
When drawing the human eye, lots of young artists think they already know what to draw. Usually this is simply a symbol of the eye not a realistic study of the eye. In this unit on facial features we will be breaking down each of our features to really study all the actual parts to move past symbolic drawing into realistic interpretation.

Assignment:
You will be looking at your eye in a mirror and trying to capture what you see. We will be doing this with drawing pencils first. You may also photograph your eye and work from your photo.
Once you capture your eye in grayscale you will then attempt to draw it with colored pencil. Notice all the different colors you will need to blend to accurately capture the eyes and the skin around the eyes.
We may try side views if we get through the front view as well.
