Hey Everyone! I drew this when I went camping last year in Montana. To draw this, I took a stick and burnt the end and used that to draw with. I hope you enjoy it! (:

The talent of an amazing writer, they can convey any emotion, make you feel thing's you've never felt, and help you understand that which you thought you never would.

So, this is pretty cool. Okay, it's more than that. It's bloody brilliant!

The only thing I would say is to work on the eyelashes of the eye, they seem a bit more visible on one side than on the other, which throws the sketch off. Otherwise, nice work and keep it up!

Very nice! As ,of course, you can't go back and fix it, I won't really critique the picture itself. Although it's quite good.

Here are some tips on drawing eyes:
-One. Your eyeball itself is a very round lemon shape. Not the eye, the eyeball. Around the rounded lemon, you draw an almond shape, the eye lid itself. You should have two red "spots" on either side of the eye ball.

-Two.Eyelashes are on both sides of the eye, top and bottom. Your bottom ones were hard to see. And, contrary to popular belief, bottom lashes are only minimally shorter than top ones. They are just tinner and lighter. Take a look at your own.

-Three.Remember that the pupil changes size. If you're drawing a whole scene and they're outside, the pupil should be small. A dark indoor scene, and the pupil should be large. The itis does not change size as much. If you have a big pupil, like in your picture, the iris should be small. The eyelids might overlap it, which is fine. Don't change the size of the eye itself to make room for the iris. Your eye here is very big on the bottom, with a huge iris.

-Four. Shading. The eye is round. The endges with be slightly shadowed. The eye lid is not part of the eye, it protrudes slightly. Otherwise the lashes would poke into the cornea. Shadow there. The lashes cast a shadow.

Overall, considering that you drew this on a rock with a burnt stick, nice job.

I hope you appreciate my breaking my perfect 222 reviews to give you this one XD.
