kit’s eye is still that kinda style, but it is a bit more tv-ish maybe. You still see that kinda style in manga though, because the artists have their own styles however, what she was emphasising was the cell-shading as opposed to the use of gradients… the eye itself wasn’t meant to be the focus. ---

Yeah, every manga artist has their own style and the eye that I drew was done in mine. But as ILike Pie stated, it was meant to be a demonstration of cel shading rather than manga drawing. 🙂 But in the end it is all down toyour own individual style. 🙂 I guess I’m just not a big fan of using gradients. I kinda feel like it’s cheating, which is why I prefer to colour, shade and highlight all by hand instead of using the gradient tools. I admit that it would probably look a lot better and be a lot easier to do metallic surfaces if I did use gradients, but I can’t bring myself to do it. 🙂 [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/manga-eye/26858.md?page=1)
