Lately, I've been finding it really hard to draw. I want it to be something I can do easily again, without feeling like I need something extra to be able to paint. It's tough, but I hope I can get there little by little. To get back on track, I decided to start doing simple drawings that I can finish quickly. I think this way I can set short-term goals for myself, and maybe soon I'll be able to draw for longer periods and with more detail. And well, eyes are something I've always loved to paint, and what better opportunity than now? This time I wanted to do it in black and white to give it a more interesting feel and also to work on it a bit faster. I hope you like it.

I made the sketch and then started painting the face using different shades of gray to define the shadows and highlights. On a new layer, I added more colors to give the face a better shape. I think the most difficult part was the shape of the bridge of the nose; it kept coming out very strange. Then I started blending the colors, giving the skin a bit of texture.

I detailed the eyes, eyebrows, and eyelashes. I also wanted to add some depth around the eyes, so I applied a bit of dark gray around them with a layered effect. I painted some hair on the sides and finally added highlights to the eyes to make them look more realistic.
