Iris sketch

The Iris

This is a sketch for a piece that is going in a brochure about eye surgeries.  The iris is a very complicated structure!  The underside is lined with epithelium, the middle contains two muscles (a dilator and a contractor to change the size of the pupil), many tiny blood vessels, and above that, the layer everyone thinks of when they think of the iris, with the wavy lines and little freckles.

I am trying a new technique, wherein I print out the overall design and outlines of the shapes, and then add details with pencil and scan them in to become part of the final work.  We’ll see how it goes!

If possible, I will post the final version, in color.
