Eye Drawing Progress Over 2.5 Years (and why it took me so long)
In this video, I’m sharing my honest progress drawing eyes over the last 2.5 years—from awkward sketches to where I’m at now. I'll also talk about why it took me such a long time. If you’re struggling to get better at eyes (or art in general), I hope this gives you some perspective—and maybe even a little motivation to keep going 💪
