The eyes are the window to the soul. In a painting of a human being, the look in the eyes can make a great impact to the message in the composition.
Artists are often occupied with just getting the eyes "right". Their main concerns are getting the features balanced and the painting as "realistic" as possible. In order to create really earth-shattering art with expressions that creeps up at the viewer, realism is not enough.
I am offering some tips for painting eyes with acrylic paints that would change the focus of the artist while he renders the eyes of his subjects in paint and canvas.
Rendering Realistic Eye Shapes
Unless the painting is stylistic, there are several 'rules' to understand in the structure of the eye.
1. The eyeball is a sphere. Always sketch the entire eyeball in the eye socket first, then enclose the eyeball in eyelid and lashes. This is an important step in ensuring that the shape of the eye is round and not the shape of an elliptical "fish".
2. The iris is overlapped by the eyelids. If the iris is too small, the eyes will give the face a "shocked" open-eyed look.
3. The right and left eye moves in tandem. It is important to get the balance right unless one is painting a cross-eyed monster or some species of frog.
Doubt "Hoodwinked Too" will be nominated at all, but "Rango", "Puss in Boots", "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Winnie the Pooh", "Happy Feet Two" and "Rio" are strong contenders to win
