Ooo this is handy, I like seeing how other artists handle eyes. I'm still trying to find my way with them

Eye see what you did there.

Nice reference-work.

Cartooning is like a shared language, and these are like the shared letters.

I like all the various styles and expressions you can add to something.
Thanks for sharing. :)

Carl works in computers- those are his eyes

Cool! *steals*

ow, my eye!

Eye-yi-yi!!

These are good suggestions. Thanks for sharing your wisdom! :)

This is fantastic, thank you so much for sharing! If I might ask, do you use any particular pen to outline your pieces or is it done on the computer?

Thanks! I use Microns, either 03 or 05.

Cool, thanks!

Maybe not the most aesthetic thing around, but MAJOR Yay for useful stuffs!

Thanks for sharing!

Also Thank you. Really nice Eye Chart! (Can you read the second line from the top?)

This is very interesting. I always love seeing how other artists approach their craft!

I don't know about you but I always start with the eyes whenever I begin a drawing (well, after I draw a circle for the head and "crosshairs" so I know which direction they're looking.) If I don't get the eyes right first I find it nearly impossible to go any further in a drawing until I do.

I'm sure I'm guilty of not having enough variety in the way I draw my characters eyes, but, so be it, I guess.

I start with a stick figure and eyes but the next thing I draw is feet. Or I do not have a progression at all and I just wing it.

I do that as well... I find the eyes make the whole character. I'll often be at a loss of what to draw, just doodling, draw a pair of eyes, and take it from there, letting how I drew the eyes govern what sort of creature it is, which way it's facing (most of my drawings are in left-facing 3/4 view), and what it's doing.

I noticed that in a trendy Pasadena beauty supply shop that large, painted lines suggesting huge eye lashes have become a fashion in young ladie's makep recently. My first impression was, "Why that looks like the way Megan draws her eyes on her characters." I've seen some attractive women done up in this style of makeup, and if applied subtly, it can be very attractive. (Kinda like the "Lion Eyes" the ancient Egyptians wore.) Could it be you might have started a trend with your art? (I also would like to ask of your permission to make a "Hardcopy" of this image for reference.)

I am flattered!
