Sight unseen

Description

Yeah this has got be the longest time I ever took on coloring a picture, whew I'm finally done. The picture that I used as reference is actually a picture of my own eye altered in photoshop of course. Anyway I used prisma colored pencils and markers to color this one.

Edit: I still can't believe you guys featured this, I'm so honored!

Aww gosh thank you so much for such incredibly kind words, I’m glad you enjoy my work. This drawing was just another eye experiment since I’ve always had an obsession with drawing eyes. Still to this day I draw the eyes first in every portrait. Also I guess I just wanted to draw something way better than the reference I used, make my eye or tiny self portrait come more to life. Although I should probably not be featured anymore now cause it’s been like a whole year that I’ve been the monthly artist lol.

That is very cool!
I love the colours, and the use of the curved lines. It makes me think of the reflection of water off a wall. Definitely surreal.

restless_dreamer on August 22, 2011, 2:28:11 PM

Why thank you for the wonderful feedback, I'm glad you like the surrealism factor of it.

KickButtRobin on December 18, 2010, 12:50:20 AM

Holy crap. O_O That's amazing~ How in the world did you do this?! This is epic!

Thank you, but could you actually tell me where you saw something like this?

Morpher on December 17, 2007, 5:23:02 AM

0mirror0 on December 13, 2007, 10:59:35 AM

I think Ive seen something like this somewhere before....

restless_dreamer on December 13, 2007, 2:02:50 PM

Really, where?

darkblaze06 on December 13, 2007, 5:43:10 AM

One word: WOW. O_o'

This looks very realistic, and the colors you used are absoulutely amazing! This deserved to be featured. ^__^

disruptiveserenity13 on December 11, 2007, 4:02:22 AM

Wow.
this looks like a photo...
I can't find any mistakes... pencil marks.. nothing
and I'm NOT questioning the authenticity.
maybe you should draw your pictures just a little worse so that admin. won't delete it because it looks too real
:D

but seriously, this is really impressive

restless_dreamer on December 11, 2007, 9:49:15 AM

Yeah I had to wait until the next day for this one to get approved because they thought it was a photo, I don’t really think it looks that realistic, maybe from far away lol. And have you looked at my other art, believe me I’m not that good of an artist I just spent way too much time on this one. Seriously though thank you for such a terrific comment, I’m very flattered! ^__^

AeroArtist on December 11, 2007, 6:27:14 AM

colored pencil and marker??? woah. looks like a photomanip. nice.

Flurpie on December 8, 2007, 1:18:41 AM

i know pastels are hard!

restless_dreamer on December 10, 2007, 12:06:57 AM

Yah someone who feels my pain, although I’ve tried pastels like only three times lol.

ai4gaara on December 7, 2007, 12:42:37 PM

and my friends said i was good at drawing eyes... holy crap this is good

restless_dreamer on December 10, 2007, 12:05:29 AM

Thanks! I have to admit this is probably the best eye I’ve ever drawn but that’s because it's the main or only focus I'm sure if you tried to do the same thing you'd get better results than you think.

PurplePhoenix on December 7, 2007, 6:38:07 AM

Ooh very nice!
What did you make that with, Pencil crayon?

restless_dreamer on December 10, 2007, 12:04:06 AM

Thank you, and no I didn't use any crayons just colored pencils and markers and of course a pencil to do the initial sketch.

DekuNutEatingStalfos on December 9, 2007, 9:05:59 AM

restless_dreamer on December 6, 2007, 11:05:20 AM

Thanks so much!! And no I didn't use pastels, I used colored pencils and markers. Anyway I tremendously suck with pastels lol.

restless_dreamer on December 4, 2007, 8:35:19 AM

Hey thanks for the great comment!!

dragoneyes on December 3, 2007, 9:24:25 PM

Hey, that looks really awsome!!!
The eye lookes like it's afraid of something, is that on purpouse??

restless_dreamer on December 4, 2007, 8:32:38 AM

Actually it wasn’t on purpose, when my cousin took the reference picture I was trying to make an interesting expression with my eyes, and I guess that’s just how it turned out. Thanks for the comment!

salamandereffect on December 1, 2007, 11:37:54 AM

Oh CRAP! I was almost sure this was a photo! Is it something you like traced over, or did you just screw with a photo for a while?

restless_dreamer on December 4, 2007, 8:02:31 AM

Are you kidding me? I would never trace, or mess with a photo and submit it, what would be the point?

lil_d on December 3, 2007, 10:02:23 PM

wow, that beautiful...I love it, ~FAVS~

Dragonflight on December 2, 2007, 3:48:28 AM

Beautiful eye! I like your drawing style and how you used the color ;)

restless_dreamer on December 3, 2007, 1:39:46 PM

Thank you!

HinataButterfly on December 3, 2007, 10:41:08 AM

That's really cool. You really took a awesome prospective in your work. I give it five stars. ^^

No_Name on December 3, 2007, 1:09:38 AM

Woah! Trippy!

NinthDragonOfShadows on December 1, 2007, 10:30:27 PM

Pure and simply amazing, this blows everything I have worked on out of the water fully without a chance to get back to the water before it croaks,I'm not even talking about tje stuff I have put up on here eighter,, have you used oil pastels before? I have one work I'm working on that I'm using oil pastels but I'm pretty sure they would leave a smudge on my new scanner

restless_dreamer on December 2, 2007, 3:07:26 PM

Yes I tried pastels before and sadly really sucked with them lol, so bravo to you for using them. Anyway thank you so much for the comment!

SilverSparklex on December 1, 2007, 11:23:51 PM

Good picture x

2cute2bu on December 1, 2007, 3:08:47 PM

Beautiful! The color is bold, almost a....well, I'd say life-like, but it acctually looks dead, haha.

The eyelashes are what really catch me, alot of people over or under do them. Yours are so delicute, just like my eyelashes, right after a coat of mascara. Kudos, dear. +favs+

luckylace222 on December 1, 2007, 8:20:16 AM

:D Wow...that's awesome work.....

BadArtist on November 30, 2007, 5:54:35 AM

man.. it would be more impressive if you didn't use photoshop:(

restless_dreamer on December 1, 2007, 6:30:46 AM

Yeah I know but I had to use Photoshop but only to change the brightness and contrast a little to make it look more like it does in real life because my scanner makes everything look 10 times brighter, man I despise that contraption!

AnimeWeirdo on December 1, 2007, 4:29:39 AM

Hey this is pretty cool!!I drew a picture of what I would see through a keyhole for art class and it was of a yellow demon eye looking back at me!=PStrange enough I had a daydream of looking through a keyhole and seeing this demon with a blood covered knife and then his eye...Weird huh?=PAnyway grood job!!

restless_dreamer on December 1, 2007, 6:28:08 AM

Thanks, yeah that is pretty weird, I have way too many messed up dreams myself. One time I had a dream that a blue and white vacuum was trying to kill my whole family. Or in another dream I was sitting on the floor of my kitchen hiding away from a werewolf driving a car in circles around my house.

Tjix on December 1, 2007, 5:11:17 AM

The color balance is incredible. The work is so delicate... gorgeous.

ThomYorke on November 30, 2007, 3:42:27 PM

Nice
Almost thought it was an inverted picture of an eye in the icon... Haha.
Pretty colors.

TKGBIdeon on November 30, 2007, 5:28:25 AM

Very scary. It's amazing.

restless_dreamer on November 30, 2007, 2:37:33 PM

Hey thank you, I sure do appreciate it! ^__^

Xiakeyra on November 30, 2007, 2:54:42 AM

Hey congratulations for being the featured pic of this week ^^
The colors you used rock. The eye looks as if it belonged to some dead living being or something like that. It's amazing!

restless_dreamer on November 30, 2007, 2:22:11 PM

WOW Thanks!! You know at first I actually wanted to color it with skin toned pencils to make it more realistic and much different from the reference, I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t I would of been soooo bored coloring it lol.

darkangle on November 30, 2007, 8:41:19 AM

...AWESOME!!!!!!!!

AnimeAngel87 on November 30, 2007, 6:07:24 AM

PrincessHeart on November 28, 2007, 12:24:28 PM

Oh MAN! Me and my brother thought for sure this was a photo!! Amazing use of color..!!

restless_dreamer on November 28, 2007, 12:51:11 PM

Really everyone keeps saying that but I don't know I think it slightly resembles a photo on my avatar but that's about it. Anyway thanks for another great comment, I definitely made it harder on myself by adding more colors than the actual reference picture had. It's just too bad my scanner took out most of the greens, violet, and gold colors out of the iris.

Nuke14 on November 28, 2007, 6:15:20 AM

lol yeah i guess this is a cool pick...way better then that alien v.s. predator slash starwars crap that was featured...

restless_dreamer on November 28, 2007, 12:38:19 PM

Hey thanks for the comment, although I don't really agree with you about RachaelM7's drawing, I got to say it's way better than mine I mean just the detail alone.

meepedpeep on November 28, 2007, 7:50:24 AM

reminds me of Pink Floyd for some reason... XD

restless_dreamer on November 28, 2007, 9:06:31 AM

You’re right it does kind of, probably because of the weird skin color and of how much of a close up it is.

meepedpeep on November 28, 2007, 9:21:14 AM

yeah...

ugk on November 28, 2007, 8:24:15 AM

restless_dreamer on November 27, 2007, 11:39:16 PM

I'm soooo glad you didn't, and I can't believe you featured it, I definitely wasn't expecting that. Thanks so much!!
