This tutorial has been my longest to date! It’s originally a 6 hour video and there were many details I just couldn’t cut out! Do you guys prefer less detail or more detail? I’m never sure, so please let me know!
Also, do you prefer hour-long tutorials or short bite-sized ones? Let me know so I can adjust the length to suit you :) Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel :)
If you completed this tutorial, congratulations!!! Please share your eye drawings with me on Pinterest, I would LOVE to see them!!!: www.pinterest.ca/pin/51531038...

    Do you know, I have subscribed to RapidFireArt now for 2.5 - 3 years and after watching 100s of hours of videos probably by the same number of different artists, Darlene of RapidFireArt is by far the best tutor, head and shoulders above the rest in giving clear very easy to follow instructions but not only that, Darlene gives tips and tricks on how NOT to spend money ( doesn't encourage you to run out and buy a $100+ box of pencils, how to make a kneadable eraser). Outstanding tutorials RapidFireArt, many thanks.

Keep up the good work and may God bless you abundantly, not just today, but every day, God bless you, 🙏 💖
