Alright Marcello, Mazi, and Armando... please... please... PLEASE just remember that I am only learning... Mazi was basically saying that I was a n00b... and, Mazi is totally right... so... I looked at the links that she had on some of the little postings that she (he?) left... then, from there, I looked at them, and followed the directions and all that jazz... so... yah... well... I'm not finished with this. But, I will be soon...

maybe lookin at a reference pic of an eye or lookin in a mirror at ur own eye would help you to get it looking decent dare i say good... i wouldnt recomend usin the circle tool as it tends to make things look abit shi7y (freehand = better)... the colour of the eye(blue bit) could do to be a bit darker and try using/blendin diff shades of blue togeth.... also ur logo thing is abit big and unnecessery as well....

Learning is good. Practice is good. Learning from practicing with reference pictures and tutorials is great.

P.S. [</3]I don't like the way I'm associated with Mazi in the same sentence.. or Marcello.. or just Mazi. Just Mazi then.[/</3]

OKAY. JUST. LEAVE. COMMENTS. I don't know how to draw the eye... boy, if that ain't quite obvious... but... still... I'm just learning.

Hmmmm, not bad, though you should try to blend all the blue together, because eyes dont have solid colors. The Eye lid looks ok, I think its shaped a little weird, but I like the colors.

Sweetie, if you don't want critiques, there are drawing forums out there that don't allow critiques. This is not one of them. People are just trying to be nice and helpful, like people were to them. Myself, I appreciate critiques far more than the comments, because it's harder to offer them.

About the picture, it's very nice, very good for a beginner. The colors are good, and it looks kind of sad, although emotions are hard to portray with just an eye.

The best help I received on how to draw eyes was on one of the tutorials Mazi has posted many times...Here. The rest of her posted tutorials can be found here. *shrug* Hope that helps.
