As you learn to develop your portrait skills you may find that you pay attention to developing your artistic understanding of the more obvious parts of the face including eyes, lips and nose, however, there are smaller parts of a portrait that can help provide an overall look and aesthetic to your portrait. In this art prompt, we are focusing on developing skills around drawing eyelashes.
Goals
