Reflection

Looking back at the picture here I can tell I needed to blend the eye colours in a lot more to make it look realistic. I like how the scratch looks. The coffee grands and blood on top make it look real. When I do this look again I will blend the black eye in a lot more with my fingers and maybe even add more colours to it such as black so some areas are darker than the other. I will also add Vaseline on top so it looks swollen.
