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 💪
