“No, sir. All thirteen!” Sketch of the iconic shot of Peter Capaldi’s eyes from The Day of the Doctor, <\/em>roughed with non-repro blue and sketched with Pigma Micron and Graphic pens. I’ve included the roughs below, color-enhanced, to show that process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one isn’t a quick sketch, so, let’s see how I did:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eye shape is not terrible, though the one on the left of the drawing has a misshapen iris, and that weird tilt of the eyes with respect to the head is back, as you can see when the eyes and hair are lined up (below) – if those features line up, the cheeks are tilted, and v. v.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not bad, certainly bolder with the dark lines, but how does it compare? I worked from a brighter, if smaller picture last time, but did that help? I can already see the eyes are just the wrong darn shape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eyebrows are insufficiently Capaldi in both of them, not as exaggerated as his real-life eyebrows, and the older sketch shares the property that you can line up the cheeks (black, below) or eyes (white, below), but not both at the same time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
