Hi there,
This eye will be part of a series I am beginning called "Body Language". Drawing something as delicate as the iris took a lot of time, I had to put down light layers and blend over and over again to give it that soft, moist realistic look. While drawing I began seeing an optical illusion, the pupil looked to be dilating, which in this case was very fitting.
