Good Eyes

KAM on May 26, 2009

My dad & I had stopped at a comic shop & a professional comic artist (forget his name but he did Wrath Of The Titans for Blue Water Productions) was signing books & my dad was flipping through his portfolio & raving over how good an artist he was & particularly raving at how well the eyes were done & repeatedly saying that you can tell a good artist by how he does eyes, which brought to mind all my ‘eyeless’ characters…

I do apologize for that last panel, by the way…

Thansk all! :-) Brogan - I just glanced at his work myself, although I do understand what you're saying. Some artists are technically good, but their art looks like posed mannequins, while other artists may not be as good technically, but their art has energy & life.

I just draw a circle and a dot inside. But I'm not that great of an artist anyway.

Eyes and arms are usually the hardest thing I've tried to draw. Eyes I can do once I've choosen a style, but I still suck at arms and legs. I don't even try hands and feet.

when comics are inspired by real life you know the eyes have it :P

did his work have soul? sometimes people can get so technically capable that their work is lacking in feeling...

Good point, really.

The only reason I have a problem with that is that a potential artist might wast their time learning how to do good eyes, and only be able to do bad bodies.
