As the title suggests, this is a work in progresss. I did the ‘drawing’ and spline work for this a little bit ago, and now it’s just the fun painting of it to be done. There’s something really satisfying about figuring out and rendering all the fun anatomical details in the eye. Zonule fibers, ciliary body and processes, canal of Schlemm …. !
