Students may use either soft drawing pencils or black charcoal pencils. Whichever media, they need to be able to sharpen their tools to make fine detailed lines.
1. Students may draw the football eye shape, or trace one.
2. A partial circle is drawn inside, one that touches the top of the eye.
3. An inner circle is added, along with eyelashes and a rectangle “highlight” that is to stay white.
4. Crease lines are added above the lashes. The inner circle is shaded in to look black, and lines radiating around it are added. They eye is colored in a dark gray.
5. Light shading is added above and below the eye, and on the right side of the eye. All the shading is rubbed with a paper stump to blend in.

This is a great project! It illustrates, so well, the importance of observation and detail in art!
Thanks for the great step by step:)

Hi Kathy,
Didn't Escher have a skull reflecting from the Iris? My middle school cuties love including the reflection around Halloween.
Fun!

how do I just print out this project?
I believe that if you subscribe to my site you get new postings sent to your email, which are easier to print. Other than that, good old "copy and paste" into a MS Word doc should work too.
