My SI topic is mental illnesses and for this piece I'm focusing on insomnia. I wanna do an eye that's 3 different colors and is bloodshot/tired looking. The eyelashes are a little rough and it looks kinda messy cause this is just a rough sketch but I think I want to do the piece in watercolor to give it more fluidity.
I think this is a really great idea (also this is a really detailed "rough draft" sketch haha). I love your idea of making the Iris three different colors, it will add alot of depth. Are you going to leave the background white? I feel like it would look really cool if you did some type of watercolor wash in the background. Or you could include the cheek and skin surrounding it almost like it is a zoomed in picture of a persons face on the eye. Or you could even add really cool drips like you did in your first SI, which would create a little bit of an "artist personality continuity" between your pieces. Also I once used this really easy (but the result is really good) tutorial to watercolor an eye- I have attached it below if you want to look at it for reference!
