Pencil drawings of eyes

One Christmas I decided to do something different for our children and grandchildren. Rather than drawing portraits of them I drew just their eyes. You can see everyone's personality through their eyes.
When drawing a portrait of a person you must get the eyes drawn right, or it will not look like them.

If you are interested in learning how to draw pencil portraits, there are some very helpful tutorials available on the web. I have learned a lot from the books written by Lee Hammond. I have used several of her books and found them very helpful.
