I did a few sketches of possible eyes for my style. I tend to go back & forth between big eyes, or black dots, so I thought I'd see which I felt fit my style best. Kind of a fun little exercise. Have you ever explored the possibilies?
Nice character studies. I've gone back and forth on this as well. I've found sometimes it depends on the character. Big, dark eyes show a character who is surprised or innocent. Big, dark eyes look doll-like. And little dots, well, you have to watch those beady-eyed characters!
It's interesting to see how they change the feel and emotions of your character.
Oh my goodness, you have hit on a topic that I completely struggle with to the point that I was no longer going to draw actual people and just start drawing animals. Until I realized they don't have to be realistic. What a great idea though to try different styles all on one character.
