That is exactly what is going on there. The light, working its way around his right iris, bounces back from the lens and partly obfuscates the lower perimeter of the pupil, making it look higher than his left pupil.

You'll notice that I took some liberties with the drawing of the irises. I was interested in trying expressive methods of rendering those translucent tissues. The overall formal relationships is given less importance as the objective of this study is to practice the treatment of passages without commitment.

It amazes me how much our Forum dwellers can perceive and infer from these bleached little images on the screen!
