Drawing Eyes in Pen and Ink

I haven’t worked much with pen and ink but I hat a lot of fun tonight drawing eyes from digital photos with one of my new ink pens.

I was actually surprised that I did so well with these because ink is so un forgiving and I”m not even working on a good paper. This is just regular old newsprint. It doesn’t happen often but my wife looked at this page and actually said she liked it.

I am an Artist and a programmer currently living in the amazing state of Washington. I have a passion for art, but I'm stubborn as hell with it. My day is complete only when I do some piece of art each day, no matter how small. "There was a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile."
