THE COCKEREL.

ive been doing this so long now.. so glad to finally finish it so i can get rid of it :D i'll have a lot more space in my room again!! (sorry about the rubbish quality, blame my phone.)

Final final piece

This is my last, final final piece i did for art a-levels. I'm pretty chuffed with it, and it was fun to do, and i love painting birds and eyes, so best of both worlds really :) there's still a lot on it i'd change though! Im such a perfectionist, its annoying.

Eyes!!

I LOVE drawing eyes, if i'm bored, eyes are the things i draw. Therefore ive had a lot of practice, after going to school and college!! ;) So, these are a few studies of eyes ive done. Hope you like them :)
