I love that I can see the reference photo as you paint.

[@jackiejoop7886]

Barbara Hoffman its not the reference photo its the finished painting.

[@lorenmckenna6666]

How do you not have 1,000,000 subscribers yet?? 💕 you are my favourite art channel

[@TheArtSherpa]

YOU are my favorite comment of the morning!! :)

[@55bkcherub]

Mine too!!

[@pattiharris3433]

Oh how I love watching you do eyes!!!!!! Just amazing!! I am restoring statues for our church (trying :). I want the skin and eyes to be as life like as possible. Thanks to you I think I can achieve it ❤❤❤❤ Thank you

[@TheArtSherpa]

yay!

[@evatoney6493]

Thank u for always putting ur fans first!! Love u!

[@driesketels]

The face is the mirror of the mind, the eyes of people reflect the desires of their heart... eyes often times say more then words can... eyes are very similar to paintings in that regard, if you can say it in words there's no need to paint it... Eyes in paintings have something poetic. I guess art is a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see...

[@darmarferi]

I didn't think it would turn out when I first started this...but turned out pretty good...thaks Cinnamon!

[@caligulacaligula2810]

Im here for the first time. You are sooo FABULOUS! Thank you for this tutorial.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thanks very much 🌻

[@brandonjohnston1993]

I'm gonna do this over the 6 week holidays, as I'm feeling crafty!

[@daisyoliveira2579]

I just can't believe that you did that right before my eyes!!! Just wonderful!!!!

[@moaathalbloi2781]

I wish youtube would care more about artists like you you deserve a better CPM than anyone else

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you bunches CPM is a crazy crazy world LOL. PS youtube actually did pretty good by us. They have treated us like VIP every time we go to the space and make sure we are really supported. They have picked artists often for Nextup and even though I may never be awesome like Vsauce we got a 1 hour chat with their LIVE expert so we would do our crazy show. BUT a bigger CPM would be amazing. I know thats a little behind the curtain but thought you may like to know

[@moaathalbloi2781]

KZbin is a crazy world I'm an arabic artist that can edit videos and record them but I never thought of starting a channel cuz or arab youtube is all about pranks and gaming wish you the best and thank you for taking much time of yours and reply to me .

[@lauramckay8571]

art that was an amazing eye,by an amazing eye,I'm blown away at what I've learned, what a dynamite job, thanks for your instructions, just learning acrylic and now really excited and ready to conquer the scary acrylic eye,hope to watch you again, and it's like you seem like an old friend, old soul . Blessings to you Laura Mackay

[@glassacrylicpainting8833]

This is great. Love how you put your own artistic spin to it. All these ppl online are making these hyper realistic eye paintings, but they fail to truly make it their own artistic signature style. Like your stuff!

[@annagoteborg5523]

Loved, loved, loved this! 😍 Thank you for sharing with us! It was great to have the picture of the final piece in the corner too so you know where you are going, made it a lot easier to follow. Wishing you and the family a great weekend! Hugs from Sweden

[@boopboopbarry]

This is so amazing, informative and clear! I don't knwo how you don't have 10M followers rn. Thank you so much! Do you have any suggestions for when you have to work with smaller surface area, i.e. when the face is much smaller and so there's less space to define the eyes? I use very small brushes but it gets challenging to try and define and lines and shadows. Thank you again!!!
