Biography
Scott Burdick was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1967 where his mother and father early on encouraged his interest in Art. “I spent a lot of time in hospitals as a child and remember my mother showing me how to transform simple shapes like circles, triangles, and squares into objects like planes, helicopters, and fish.

Drawing the Human Eye Tutorial
I found a great tutorial today on Only Pencil by artist Lisandro Pena on drawing the human eye. The human eye can be a very difficult thing for many beginners to draw. Lisandro explains in the tutorial the importance of studying the eye, or any object you want to draw for that matter, so that you really understand what it is you are drawing.
