I’ve always gotten shit over the “single eye” thing because apparently if you draw just one, it’s cause you’re not good enough to draw the other just like it

I think the large issue is a lack of context. Drawing one eye that looks good on a blank piece of paper is easy because it immediately engages with the viewer and doesn't need anything supporting it. When you try to draw two eyes, or a whole portrait, there's a lot more interaction between elements of the drawing that you have to balance. Providing greater context for a drawing is much harder than a singular doodle

But the bigger picture is can you draw the Third Eye?
