Bleh!

So here are some more eyes. They're....interesting. They may not look it, but I spent a lot of time on these. Even using a stylus, the brush tool and I do not seem to be getting along. I look forward to a return to the illustrator pen tool.

Blogger doesn't want to let me type next to images, so the order is : Magritte, mosaic thing, Dali, Marc, Van Gogh, Leyendecker, and Delacroix. So here you go...don't laugh too hard...even though the Van Gogh looks like a lion or sloth or something.

Mosaic thing? Looks more like a fish to me..

Adding on to my list of eyes....why are some small and some big? I'm not sure right now...ask Blogger.

1.) Famous eye....can you guess who? Here's a hint for all of those not well versed in Roman Holidays. A _ D R _ Y   H _ P B _ RN. 

2.) My Eye! Scary? Maybe.

Eye Updates!

It's been a while since I updated so.....

1.) Border Pattern Eye (which refuses to upload any larger)

1.) Eye With A Mod-Inspired Pattern (which is loading a little bigger)

1.) Technical Illustration Eye.

How-To

Sorry guys, I've been really slow about posting the past two weeks. I'll do a massive eye-post this weekend, to put up all those eyes we've been working on. For now, here's my technical/3 panel/ how-to thing entitled, How to Beat Traffic.

Too Mini Eyes!

Here are my eyes for the week.

First I created a stroke out of mini eyes. Nothing too groundbreaking. 

This one I'm a little happier with. I wanted the pupil to look like one of those giant lollipops from Disneyland. You know, the ones the size of your head?

The whole gradient mesh thing is a bit tricky, but with Deke's help, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Don'tcha know.

 

Top of the Pops

And now introducing....

The Polygonal Lasso Cowboy!

Yes, this really is what I imagine every single time open up photoshop and see this oddly shaped tool.

And yes, it's loosely based on John Wayne.

Next up is......

The Photoshop Magician! 

Conjuring up a literal feather with the help of a Mac shortcut incantation....because we all wish Photoshop shortcuts worked in real life, right?

Eyeball Overload?

Eyeball Key:

(in order, top to bottom) 1.original eye, 2.eye with design added (private eye/I Spy/Eye Spy), 3.design added version two, 4.eye with element subtracted (money-hungry/envious), 5.eye with element subtracted (pain of some sort?), and 6.original simple eye drawn using a dashed stroke (see previous 'eyes' post for a look at the original eye).

I also made an eye design using an Eiffel Tower pun...but I won't subject you to that.
