Gaze: A study and use of eyes in character art

The gaze is a powerful tool that draws attention to both the subject and the viewer. In these works, the gaze (or lack of) aims to pull the audience into the space each character inhabits. There is no better way to immerse yourself into a world than a character pulling you in themselves.
