Recently I've been experimenting with different ways to draw eyes. When I started drawing my comic strip, I never drew close enough close ups to have the eyes be anything more than black dots for pupils (except, of course, when they were glowing for any reason.) From my superhero comic strip; First Superhero Comic Strip, Birthday Only late in the second story did I began to add color and shine to the eyes. From my superhero comic strip; Superheroes: Balance Toppled, Nightshade's First Strike In the third story I began to experiment with drawing lighter colored eyes. From my superhero comic strip; Superheroes: The Search for Mirage, Pumpkins Even more recently I began to experiment with the different colorings in eyes. If you look close at many eyes, you can see its not just one color but two or more rings blending into each other. I experimented with gradients when drawing eyes. From my superhero comic strip; Superheroes: Division, Time Travelers Arrive Even more recently, after being inspired by the art in an anime-style animated show, Legend of Korra, I tried yet another design for eye coloring. It's made up of three colors, a light, dark, and middle color, and then the pupil. I also experimented with coloring the lines of the edge of the iris not with black but with the darker color in the eye. From my superhero comic strip; Superheroes: A Matter of Time, Tom's Flashback I'm going to keep working to improve my drawings of eyes and the rest of my art!
