Sketch O'Mania- Oh, I love your eye!

I couldn't wait to start sketching when I saw the sketch (Reference: A sketch of Ileana hunter). I was so inspired. I was looking for a subject for my next sketch and I found this. I just loved the way the eye was portrayed, as though some one is looking at us through the paper.

It looks so real and I only wondered if I could redo and achieve the photo-realism and this is what I arrived at. Not bad. Using the right tools at appropriate places does make the sketching job easy. How can I not thank Upender who lend me his prisma color pencils to complete the sketch.
