  Durn them wild eyesApr 05, 2022 6:57 PM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:
 
^ The page hours earlier, when I thought I was done, before a slight misalignment of Selenis' eyes got me picking away at them until I had eventually repainted her face half a dozen times along with a good chunk of the surrounding page. = P
 
At first I thought her further eye was off—the one to our left—but that wasn't actually the problem; can you spot it? It's that her nearer eye, the one to our right, is slightly too far over toward her ear. Just slightly. I've caught myself doing this from time to time, I think maybe because subconsciously I want the eye to be more front and center to the camera. It isn't noticeable at all unless there's a second eye trying to line up with it.
 
This one was *barely* off and I should have let it be, of course, but this is a problem I have, and why I usually end up blotting out one or the other of her eyes. .P If I could just get comfortable with the charming inaccuracy of cartoon eyes I would get a lot more sleep!

The original 16" x 6.75" watercolor art for today's new A* page is up for auction on eBay. : )
