What program are you using?

I used to work with Photoshop but I haven’t kept up with the latest upgrades nor used different programs.

Your technique and details are very good. I like the way you used colors to depict the subtleties of skin tones and light and shadows. Your eye almost looks real with the reflections of light of the upper lashes. You give it depth with the shadow of the upper lid on the eye’s surface.

You have a super thin line on the lower right ledge between the eyeball and the lower eyelid that shows up white to depict the natural layer of moisture on the eyeball. I would add a few specs to the left side and in the inner corner. Just a touch would do. Of course, it’s already done well now.

This is very nicely done and it shows you are an artist.
