Eye Can See Clearly Now, The Rain Has Gone

Still doodling, and sketching.  Really trying to get better at painting people, so I am working on different body parts.  here are a few eyes.  I didn't have a reference photo while I was sketching, nor did I have a mirror, so the eyes are just kind of a made up assortment of parts.

It's really funny to think that sitting on my couch with a football game on, I can paint something that actually looks like what it is supposed to be.

Once again, I am just using regular paper.  I think the type of watercolor paper I have been using, in the climate I live in, is not really the best paper for the way I want to work.  Using this normal paper allows the page to be a little wetter a little longer.  My normal paper would soak up all the water right away and there could be no possibility of blending or mixing of color on the page.

These 3 eyes are watercolor and pencil.  I don't know if that is the most effective way to do this, but sitting on my couch, it seemed to work.  Looking back, i think I should have spaced them out just a bit and put on some eyebrows.  Well, maybe tonight.  Enjoy
