Adam Hughes gave this really interesting tip during his How To panel at San Diego Comic-Con. When he was drawing an eye and then using marker to color, he colored the top portion of the iris darker. The light source he had come from above, so the shadow would be cast from the brow. He then added white highlights to accent the iris and sclera. I tried to demonstrate that here with the Copic settings and my daily doodle.

About nguyeningit

Welcome to my daily sketch blog run primarily from my smartphone. I left a corporate job a few years ago to work in comics and on my Art. Follow me, my foibles and triumphs as I do what it takes to improve my skills and make it in the comic book industry. Hey, it's either that or crying myself to sleep and I think I'm too cheery for that ;)
