Very nice work, I like this. Eyes are a terrific, deep image to portray, and you did so with great technical merit. Clean, crisp lines. Great use of color. Your reflections came out quite well. And the furry face frames the eye nicely.

This is a very pretty painting. Congratulations on a piece that absolutely belongs on this sites All Time Best list.

I love this! You have captured so much detail and the light coming off of the eye, plus the colours in its iris, is beautiful. Maybe next you could try and paint the reflection of what the animal is looking at in the eye. Great work!

    Thank you for your nice comments. There is actually a reflection of what he's looking at.

    Oh, I'm ever so sorry! I did look and think but didn't realise. And that's not a reflection on the quality of your work either.

Very interesting... pretty realistic looking...being so huge like that makes it really creepy. Very creatively done.

This is an absolutely gorgeous painting the way you have done it. The detail in this and the way the eye looks are amazing. The coloring is awesome. I like the way you have the highlight and the reflections in the eye. Just a fantastic and exceptional work of art.

It is always interesting to see the reflections in animal's eyes, and this is amazing..Ido not understand how you get that depth and the refraction! Donkeyoatey

    Thank you so much for your very nice comments. I used acrylic inks for this.
Comment from AlanC


NIce attempt for an interestiung subject. Very powerful and captivating. Good color sense and really nice technique. bUt why draw only 1 eye? A pair would have been better, I think. But, good job anyway!

Comment from mockingbird


You must have come very close to the tiger to see the eye so clearly and so big. I am sure that would have been dangerous.
