Now we're going to be working on this area of the eyeball. We're going to try and create the iris, the illusion of the iris and the illusion of the pupil. We'll do the iris first. Now, the secret is although we've created the over all eyeball in a generally spherical shape; we're not going to represent the rest of the eyeball as that sphere. What we're going to concentrate on is just creating the illusion of the iris in a deeper space. And the iris itself represents the whole eyeball. So what we're going to do is we're going to start cutting away that part of the spherical eye itself, other than the iris; because the iris is more important for us to be able to notice. The rest, the white of the eye we will excepted even if it is missing. So what I'm going to do is... Now real quick, the iris at if we're looking at our eye; let?s go back to our eye drawing. The iris is not all visible. Much of it appears under the lids. So we're going to represent this. In, in short what we're going to do is we're going to take this area and cut it deeper so that only the iris sphere exists.
