Notes:<\/p>\n

1. The whites of the eyes are never white, and in this context they look unfinished. Most people’s “whites” are actually a pale grey-violet, which I’ve added here, but you could make them any color you want (of course). I think you want something there, though, to soften and deepen the eyes.<\/p>\n

2. The eyes will look much more dramatic and alive if you include the black iris and a serious glint of white highlight (which in fact is white). You have white highlights but keep in mind that’s a reflection of the light source, coming from a specific angle (the same in both eyes) and falling on a sphere. Getting that “rivets” the eyes much more.<\/p>\n

It’s also the confluence of the lightest spot in any portrait and the darkest spot in any portrait that help make the eyes “the windows on the soul.”<\/p>\n

3. I’ve modified the cheek shapes on 0ur left to make them simpler and more anatomically correct (location of cheekbone, especially judging by the other side.<\/p>\n

Matt Phillips makes the “filling in” marks–thoughtfully applied–part of the work, as does muralist Sol Lewitt, with his mottled paint application:<\/p>\n
