While most artists prefer to draw either people or animals, others prefer to draw eyes, and whether they be that of a human, an animal, or a reptile, they certainly look amazing. Not only is there a lot of symbolism behind most of these drawings, but there is a high amount of shading, and intricate detail as well, making them one of the most popular types of sketches, and also one of the most difficult to pull off.
