Realistic Eye Drawing Study

This is a recent study focusing on the eye.

I’ve always found this is where a drawing really comes to life.

Detail, Tone and Observation

It’s less about the outline and more about the small details, the subtle shifts in tone, the reflections, and how these come together to create depth and expression.

A convincing drawing isn’t just about accuracy. It’s about understanding how light behaves and how those small variations affect the overall feel of the piece.

Building the Drawing Layer by Layer

This piece was developed slowly, building up layers over time.

Working in this way allows the drawing to evolve naturally, with each stage refining the depth and balance until it feels right.

It’s a process that requires patience, but it’s where the strongest results come from.

Developing Your Drawing Skills

Studies like this form an important part of improving as an artist.

They train observation, control, and an understanding of tone, all of which carry through into more complex work such as portrait commissions.

Art Lessons and Commissions

Alongside commissioned portrait work, I offer private art lessons for adults who want to improve their drawing in a calm, supportive environment.

Lessons are available in South West London and online.
