Eye in pastel pencils

Another eye drawing on dark grey pastelmat with pastel pencils. I think it’s 4x6. This time my coworker’s eye study. The skin tone was challenging. Ended up a little lighter than actual skin tone on picture, but I’m happy with the eye itself.
Critiques always welcome :hugs:

Thank you @robichon. I need to work on the skin tones and shadows to make a full portrait (not any time soon). The values were good compared to the reference picture, it is just lighter.

Hello Sonia @Meme5 , that eye is amazing. I love the way that you realy got into the detail of the eye. Most people draw some kind of reflection across the pupil and iris, but you, more realistically carried it through the sclera (white of the eyeball). Amazing! I can almost read the whole room in the reflections. You know how I amazed with drawing reflections and reflective surfaces. Excellent job on this!

Lenet,

Thank you. I guess I have a thing for eyes lately. I enjoy drawing them especially from a clear reference picture.
