I decided I should work on drawing eyes. Mondeis did a tutorial on how to draw eyes in Photoshop, which I found very interesting. I don't yet have a copy of the said programme, so I thought I'd see if I could apply the tutorial to my style of drawing. First I drew a wolf's eye (on the left) as I would normally draw eyes and then I did a cat's eye following the steps in the tutorial. It worked relatively well, the main disadvantage being the lack of a smudge tool.
Overall, this was a Saturday afternoon well spent. Also, don't ask me what's going on with the wolf's pupil, I have no clue. It was like that in the reference photo I used. O_o
Art by me. The eye tutorial by Mondeis can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9787322/

I use Derwen'ts and Faber-Castell's water colour pencils. I have a set of tortillons, which I'm learning to use when I do pencil drawings on white paper, but I've never thought to try them on black paper. So much of my efforts is focused on not making stuff smooth (ie, showing the fur texture) that perhaps I don't think about the smooth areas enough. I also have a Derwent blending pencil, but again I'm not sure how that would work on black paper. I tend to buy this stuff, but then don't quite get around to learning how to use them. O_o

Oooh, pretty! There's so much depth to the cat's eye... I will totally have to check out that tutorial.
Also, what kind of pencils do you use? I use Prismacolors, and for blending colors, I use a blending stump (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortillon) or a blending marker. Prismacolors makes this incredible blending marker that acts a LOT like a smudge tool.
(Hmm.. come to think of it, I'm not sure how the blending marker would affect the black paper. It dries clear, but... I don't know if it would stain it or not. It doesn't do anything to white paper... I'm 99% sure a blending stump wouldn't do anything but what you want it to, though.)
