The Eye in the Inverted Universe

An Illustration

Untitled-2.jpg

If you know me personally, you might know what would I paint and draw.
Yes, Eyes and Galaxy are my favorite subjects.
These two are connected in so many ways, for the eyes might be the universe of someone, it might be your eyes that is the universe of someone you love, or your own.
The eye is so expressive that it gives me too much inspiration to do and pursue my passion in art. And this is my trademark in the local scene.

The galaxy gives s this mystical and calming aura, that we want to fly out of the Earth's atmosphere and reach the stars without minding the conditions that we might encounter, the lack of oxygen and the hotness of the stars. We are so hooked on the deep stories of the universe that we want to know every secret it has.

In this blog, I combined these two subjects, but I am not yet satisfies with the result. I can't achieve what I want to express.

After a few hours of stippling the pen, I came up with this one.

I wanted to show more of the galactic effects so I decided to edit it in photoshop.

Scanned copy of the stippling eye:





It's hard to choose which color and effect should I use but the last one is the best, in my opinion.
I might do more editing and digital crafting in this drawing soon.
Stay tuned!

Creative Street Gift Giving and Art Workshop Doodling with crayons, pencils and other art materials is one of the most enjoyable parts of every childhood. Most artists started out because they were inspired when they held and tried out a chosen art material/medium when they were still young.

Really wonderful, @aalagenesis ! The universe backdrop creates a wonderful magical feeling to the finish of the picture :) Love the pointillism technique you used for the eyes, as well <3

Hey, @aalagenesis.

I find it amazing how something can start with little or no idea or direction and then suddenly become something incredible. There are times where the art, or in my case, the words, lead us and not the other way around.

In my opinion, just the finished ink part looks great. I think it works just like that. However, I can see why you might want to do more with it, and I agree, settling on a color is pretty hard to do. Any time I've tried to do any kind of coloring, mainly with lettering, I find myself spending way too much time trying to perfect a hue or changing it up and liking the new color just as much, so then I'm stuck with more than one or two colors to choose from.

I think this came out very nice and maybe it's good to be bored more often. :)

Okay, maybe not.
