No offense taken.
I do the antithesis of drawing the eyes first, I draw the silhouette of the head, but base the placement of the silhouette on a spot between the eye brows at the center of the head (bindi). I state that the eyes are usually found on either side of the bindi (true for most species except the flounder)....so if the bindi is centered...the eyes will be too.
The eyes go in dead last, (...much to the consternation of my students who grow impatient with waiting to place the features.)
I do have my share of theories, very left brained of me, I know, but I was trained as a scientist, and find no discrepancy between being creative, and figuring out why something works, and using that information to make it work a second (and third....) time.
