Fingon's eye
Added 2019-02-17 10:17:08 +0000 UTCThat escalated quickly. =O
Last night, I hunted for images - closeups of eyes, normal-sized photographs of people whose eyes would make a good Fingon (this is 55% model Jakob Hybhold, by the way. Yes, I peruse model sites. XD), watercolour eye tutorials (all female).
Then the drawing process went something like this:
7.25 PM, googling: Wow, those are some amateurish watercolours of eyes
7.55 PM, after drawing the eye and painting the first washes: Okay, maybe they're not so amateurish after all
8.15 PM: I bet those are kickass watercolourists who just tried to draw their first eye
8.30 PM: I think this iris saves it somewhat
8.45 PM: I never do lashes on males. But males have lashes. I'll try some lashes
8.46 PM: OHGODIRUINEDIT
8.49 PM: Slap some white gouache on; can't get any worse
8.55 PM: IMAGODDESSBOWTOME
So yes, Viv(i)anite makes for terrific Elven eyes. There's some Yellow Ochre just around the pupil. Look! It's the Light of Valinor in his eyes! <3
A few painting steps (as you can imagine, I didn't take any photos before 8.30).
