Crayola - Soul Searching

Description

“The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.” ~ Wassily Kandinski

Tools:
Crayons, Pen, Photoshop, iPhone4

Process:
Photoshop manip of the iris of my crayola drawing: latinabarbie.deviantart.com/ar…

I drew the eye with crayon, photographed it and posted it in the link above. I then selected the iris only and put it in a separate file in photoshop. I used the liquify tool so that it was a perfect circle and added a slight shadow to the corners, liquified the pupil to form a heart and adjusted the colors with a 30% gradient overlay and brought out the white in the highlights. Added a layer of stars as an extra touch. The reason I manipulated the photo is for a circle shaped necklace I am making with just the iris. But then after I was done I thought, hmmm wonder what it would look like if I put the iris back in the original photo. This was the result.

Side note: Keep the cleavage jokes to yourself, don't waste your time because I will delete them! Unless you're a home schooled per-pubescent 14 year old teen that just discovered the internet for the first time through this photo, there's really nothing you haven't seen here before! Plus, there are plenty much more revealing images on dA to keep you entertained. I really don't seen the big deal. But I digress...

These are the exact dimensions of the photo without a crop as it was taken. Instead of cropping the photo, i left the entire photo as it was taken to show perspective of what I could see as the photo was literally being taken from my face. I opened up the TimerCam app on my iPhone, set it for 5 seconds, positioned myself and my hands as you see here and snapped the photo with my top lip. Took a few tries before I got this shot ;)

To see more of my art go to facebook.com/ARTfromtheheART | instagram artisticalshell as i don't post on dA often due to time restrictions.

Honey this is amazing. It looks just like a human eye. How you had the vines on the side on the eye was amazing. That's rare to see in a eye drawing. I love how you didn't have so many eye lashes but you had just enough. It looks 3D too. Lovely how you have the hands opening it. The heart look amazing. So dose the eye color. You had light and dark colors. This looks so really. It's as if you just printed the eye. But I know you didn't. This is amazing. Nothing is wrong. Nothing is bad. Everything is awesome.
