Work in progress
Reflection: For this piece I wanted to pair two things that don't go together. I really enjoy sketching eyes and I wanted to give myself a little challenge by using color. While looking up plants for reference I found the white baneberry plant that people refer to as the "doll eye plant".
Analysis: The project is still in the workings as I want to black out the background to really make the eyes pop.
Discovery in the process: I found it tough to create realistic eyelashes with colored pencil. It was difficult to get a colorful gradient, but as I add the black, the colors will be more distinct. I would love to try this concept again but execute it differently, maybe make the eyes a bit creepy, more reminiscent of the "doll eye plant".
