not really, but it’s “tv-series”-kinda 
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.
