You are the Moon

Postby apricity » Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:17 am

Shadows all around you as you s u r f a c e from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's u n f o l d i n g arms
Darkness, darkness e v e r y w h e r e, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of g r a v i t y, the heavy weight of stone


You don't see what you possess, a b e a u t y calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a c h a n d e l i e r
All the l i g h t that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so i m p e r f e c t, is all that you believe


I will bring a m i r r o r, so silver, so exact
So p r e c i se and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the b l a c k e n e d sky
You will see your b e a u t y every moment that you rise

Sure! :)
I start with a base colour, say, blue for this instance, and colour the eye in, after outlining the eye in black with a pen.
Then, I take the burn tool and set it to medium, and use that on the top parts of the eye.
After that I do the same with the dodge tool except on the bottom of the eye,
and then I add a few flecks of lighter colours near the iris.
Afterwards, I outline the eye in black for a second time, and add white to suggest a little more depth.
Finally, I add the reflections with a high opacity pen, small.

Hope this helps! C:
