That's actually a good way to go, I should start doing eyes first. I tend to do them as I go along, but really the eyes tend to make the painting if you're doing animals.. definitely would be easier to do them first and it'd be less painful to scrap the painting if they did turn out bad. A few days ago I was working on a cat with oil pastels (by far my worst media.. I just can't control them!) and it was looking sooo good until I started on - and screwed up - the eyes. I spent hours on it but scrapped it anyway. >_<
I wish I lived closer to you! I'd love to learn from you.. my mother has always been very artistic but she can't explain how she does things, so I've just had to learn from my own mistakes. I'd love to take a class sometime... drawing is so calming to me, lol.
