Hey guys, so I've never posted here so... Here's a sketch I did in like 10 minutes during class when I couuldn't be bothered working
So just tell me if you love it, hate it, don't care. Also, tell me how I make it look like the eyes are sparkling, i suck at it. (It may be bad quality as i took the pic on my laptop's web cam )

Woah! It's a really well drawn eye. I like the shading for the actual eye, it looks sort of abstract! (I want them eyes)
The tear is also very vell done, the shading there is also perfect. Great job, especially for ten minutes, it would've taken me yonkners years to do an eye that well!
This is pretty good! Nice for only ten minutes. I also liked the fact that - even though you were doodling - you drew on plain white paper.
I think that the eye is on a bit of a strange angle, and it makes me feel off balance. The eyelashes are quite straight and hard - more like little sticks pointing out of the eye, rather than long luscious lashes, maybe you could work on the way you hold the pencil when you draw the eyelashes (try and flick your wrist a little more) - there also needs to be more lashes on top and bottom.
Also, At the end of the eye, it sort of looks like a ribbon crossing over (if that makes any sense), eyes usually finish to one point, not two.
The tear is nice, but it seems a little deep in the eye. It almost appears as though the eye is very far into the head, and there is a gap between the eye and the eyelid. To fix this, you might want to change the angle of the part of the tear that is actually still in the eye.
The eye shading is also nice, but not really that realistic. If you examine an eye, one side of the eye isn't usually a lot darker than the other. You may also notice that the shading sort of branches out around the pupil - sort of like the spokes on the wheel of a bike (just a lot more condensed). Also, if you draw the eye more like that, you'll probably find drawing the sparkle a lot easier.
This is quite good for only a quick doodle.
Hope I helped, PM me if you have any questions or comments.
Ok, reivew time! First off this eye looks a little stiff. I think that you should make the outer lines of the eye darker. It would give it a nice effect. I am also confused as to which way the eye is pointing. I was thinking it was a left eye, but the eye lashes were pointing the other way. So depending on which way it is looking will depend on how the reivew should go. I like the shading, you did very nice on it. I think that the tear should be more to the corner of the eye though, that may just be me though. To make it sparker make it darker and just draw a little star, like the line to line ones, or a um sparkly one? I had fun reviewing this.
Keep Drawing and good luck

My reality comes to a close as I once again realize that you don't love me, and even if I love you with my everything you will never care.
Some canvas art, ignore the smudges. The tape i used was from my grandmas house and she saw me using it and said "You know that's twenty years old... right?"
