Decide to start this thread as a personal note of my progress so I don't need to pour everything into our Discord channel.
shading practice
first time to try to draw the eye. Still in progress but finally can make the eye pop out a little bit. That was so hard.
Later today after I finish my work in lab, I decide to go braver, exaggerated the value contrast and here I am now. Still in progress.
I know it's shitty but I forced myself to finish it. Here it is.
Well done I guess it looks kinda off because the iris is drawn differently than the rest, keep a closer look at the dark values and the size of the pupil. Keep going! And don't be so hard on yourself, this is a good result for your first eye!
Thank you for the comments Julia!
Marc suggested that I should practice structure before shading so draw a bunch of eyes following 3D scanning models and try to construct the eye from circles (spheres).
The posting will be suspended as I realized that I need to work on quantity at this moment.

I like the structure you made for this, her face looks really accurate. One thing I'd say is don't be afraid to go darker around the upper part of the eye socket and the crease and corners of the mouth. Lovely study!
Thank you for the tip!
