Looks like crazy Tom Cruise.... Nice Pencils!

smells like scientology....lol

excellent pencil work!

yeah defo the cruiser! Well done.

Agree with the above. Nice details. Are you going to give us the portrait one piece at a time ?

Nice pencil work.

Great work¡¡¡¡¡ +10

Thanks guys

bigkate, deankuhta, Andy--Jones - that's Tom

Mihai - no, that's just an eye a practice, but maybe later I'll draw the whole thing

Stormkrow, Bea - Thanks ))

perfect! nice work.

its awesome...you should give us a whole portrait...its been some time since u posted one

nice work

A very nice piece, though I would've liked to see the whole portrait. Still, it could just be the style ;D .. I often think that eyes are the easiest to draw, but you have clearly spent a lot of time on this one. My only comment would be that there seems to be erratic shading -around- the eye, and maybe there might be more time spent on that, by way of smoothing it out and making the shading more even. Still, it might just be the way it is, with the lighting and such. I'd need to see the whole thing. Very well done! +5/7

luminier - thanks

Cigaro - ) I have so little time to draw actally

Grafiker - thanks

Darlene - actually it took me 20 minutes And I don't agree that eyes are easy to draw. Actually in portrait it's really hard to capture likeness if one doesn't know how to draw eyes properly. The fact that so many people (I also posted it in two different places) guessed whose eye it is, makes me really proud (mind you I havent used any kind of a grid or anything just my eyes)
About the shading - I think the way the iris is shaded gives a wrong impression as to the real size of the eye Mind you that the eye itself is 34 mm long, the iris is 15 mm and the pupil is 6mm (I'm talking about diameters of course)

Beautiful drawing. Those vague skin folds/wrinkles below the corner of both sides the eye really makes the difference. Many people paint this area too smooth or too perfect, but this is what it should look like.

wow.. I seriously don't know how u guys do it.. Hehe.. Very nice eye, hope you do the whole thing some day

Henning - you are right - the wrinkles are a very important thing. The problem is I'm impatient. When I draw an eye (separately) I pay attention to all of them. The problem starts when I have to do the whole face Of course I'm talking about those tiny, shallow wrinkles - because the deep ones I love to draw

klungsama - oh, we'll see If I have some time maybe. I have a cool pic of Tom's face - full of details, but the whole composition is dull. And frankly I don't feel like adding anything to it, not when the point is to draw a realistic portrait

za samym panem nie przepadam ale oczko wykonane przeslicznie...

great job will you show us something more than his eye ?

I guessed it immediately which means, great work.

Tom Cruise, right? Guessed immediately from the thumbnail, which I believe means you did a wonderful job! Very well done.

Can only say as everyone else Great work ...
An eye reflects a feeling directly and this on does that to ...
/Ogu

That is one intense eye.

well done, great pencil talent
