I really like the blank eye look! I think it works really well in your style, and pupils suck haha. They're rough to make work, I've only just recently started adding them just to practice with. Even then though, when you have added pupils, I never had the thought it looked uncanny, I think this pic looks really great, all 3 of them! Especially a fan of the last dude haha, is he a Pitbull?

The blank eyed look can definetely work in some cases. However, I personally find it very limiting and ultimately not fitting for my character art style in general.

The last dude is not one particular breed but based off of large mastiff types such as the presa canario and cane corso.

That's very fair, do what you feel most comfortable with! You do lovely work and I'm sure whatever you pick will look amazing :D

I tried drawing a character with the pupils, that I decided to I removed because they felt weird. I was thinking I might bring them back under certain conditions. But that was for one character where the default for everybody else was full eye designs.
Eye designs where the character expresses a state like always open or always closed, or without irises or pupils entirely, like in yours, is not something I see often applied to every character.
It felt a bit uncanny to me in the early stages where one gets used to each artist's way of styling the world. But after that point it never felt off. It takes away blame in the eye, and turns anger at a person into anger that resembles anger at the world. It also feels like they can't trust their surroundings/ they don't know what to expect.
In your picture "Morning Walk," as it is right now it makes me think of this trust aspect of the no pupils thing.
On a meta level I have to imagine big moments where the characters are blank eyed but that it contributes to the scene. In some way.
I don't mean to argue for keeping them. They are like action figures with painted on eyes that can never turn. They give articulation to the arms and legs and maybe the torso and head. The eyes are usually still. There are stop motion videos where eyes may be animated or where a head turn serves the same.
All that said, That second panel Woof. Great job
That mouth slightly agape, blood on the knife, that look like "are you dangerous to me?"
I did a drawing in the style of book 1 and this has prompted me to show it. Its only a single head sketch in "character sketching style changing" on my gallery.

I think the blank eye or beady eye look mainly works for heavily "cartoonized" styles such as in LIMBO and Don't Starve for example. Back when ITLD was a video game idea (yes, it used to be a vidja game concept!) the sprite art had white eyes but also had proportions similar to the examples I listed above. Unfortunately when I switched to webcomics, I didn't really consider the idea that some of the features in the sprite art might not translate well into comics specifically. I don't think it's big of a deal, but I'm just treating the sequel as an opportunity for improvement. https://www.deviantart.com/respeanu.....tion-649586487

The second panel "Woof" is actually a Meow XD

Also, cool sketch in your gallery :U
