Eyes Week 4 - Chrome, Pattern, Technical

This week the exercise was to create 3 different eyes using different tricks in Adobe Illustrator.
The first one was to use the gradient mesh tool to color an eye to make it look like chrome (one choice of many).

The second eye was to be filled with a pattern that presented a greater meaning to the eye. In my case i chose windows into your mind.

The last exercise was to create a technical drawing. What?
