Look Into My Eyes

Subject: Look Into My Eyes

Congratulations, your Oekaki picture has been selected to be featured! :D


A Feature? Holy crap, that certainly is not what I expected to see! Thank you, everybody :3 I'm very honored!

And, on top of that, fifty-eight likes. Guys, I went to bed and it had thirty-one, which was definitely more than enough to make me happy. I am ecstatic! Thank you!

Obviously, this isn't quite finished. A third of it has no design. I just got bored and decided to post it so that I wouldn't forget about it. Finished it! At least, I feel that it's finished, for now. Maybe I'll go back in later on and add a few more details or something. *shrugs*

I, personally, think this looks a lot better of close. You can see the little tiny details better that way. :)

This was inspired by a project we did in my art class for school. Yes, we did a scratch art. The same thing little toddlers do, with the sticks and all... and it was fun. I did the exact same thing; a tiger's eye. First it was both eyes, but one side just looked awful, so I cut it in half, and turned it in proudly. But I wanted to try to make one digitally, so I did!
And it was almost just as fun. Took a whole heck of a lot longer, but it was worth it. I really enjoyed creating the rainbow colored backdrop and blending it all together before I even started to sketch.

Timer is a little bit off. I was roleplaying a lot while making this, and I had a fifteen minute dinner.

I used a lot of different references for this. Just type in 'Tiger Eyes' into Google and you'll see what I'm talking about. I didn't use just one that I can link to.

Comments and critique are, as always, greatly appreciated!

*100th Oekaki!* *Whoop whoop!*

That looks amazing! How did you get the colors to blend so well?

@Birch Bear - Thank you :)

@Ghostie - Thank you! What I did was, on the bottom layer, just create a huge mess of colors, mostly in rainbow order just to keep things from looking too sloppy. Then I used the blend tool to smooth them out so they wouldn't look rough. Afterwards, I made a layer above that one and colored it completely black. And then erased this black so that color showed through, just like a scratch art thing!

@Green Elephant - Thank you!
@Karamelkiss - Thanks :)
@Ghostie - Thank you! And no you don't. ;) I'm still getting used to the program, myself.

Going back in the work on it now. I might have it finished by tonight, might have to finish it tomorrow.
