Hello Steemians,

today I'd like to share procces of an alla prima eye study I've done yesterday. The painting was made on Centurion linen panel, size is 5x7 inches

As usual I start with the wash to kill the white of the canvas. Quick drawing with the brush to establish light and dark areas

Eyes are quite easy to draw, you can relieve yourself from matching the perfect likeness and meditate on the form and overall anatomy of the eye

At this stage I have nailed overall value structure

Here I realized I have messed up with eyelashes so I scraped them out and reworked eyelid to give it more sense of turning form.

This is more or less the final of this sketch, I hope you guys dig it! Feel free to ask questions in comments

Cheers!

Amazing work, Arthur! You are very talented, bro! :O Already following you, to keep an eye on your content!

thanks a bunch, bro! It really means a lot for me!

Always a pleasure to support great content! :) Greetings, arthurgain!

That looks amazing! (to me eyes are definitely not easy to draw haha)

Thank you ;) We will talk about drawing the mouth and it is real pain :)

It is very helpful to see the stages, beginning with establishing the general structure and the light and dark values. Your equipment looks useful. Who makes it? Thanks.

Glad it was helpful. If your question is about the easel - it is PaintBook made by Edge Pro Gear.

Thanks. I looked up EPG on the net---excellent paintbook! Time to replace my home brew easel.

Wonderful! This makes me wanna paint with real paint!
I really like your use of color. The hints of purple, blue and rich oranges. Really nice :D

Thank you! Glad you liked it. I wish you best of luck on your daily challenge, keep it up!
