Choose the left or right eye model for the side you want to rehearse; choose Blue or Brown after the side is settled. For a two-sided placement study, prepare the same short design section for each side and compare your view of the working point, support position and relationship to the eye contour.
A flat drawing helps you settle the shape. A raised eye model adds the position from which you approach it. This is a useful next purchase when the marks are familiar but arranging your hand and view around the form still needs deliberate practice.
Make the side part of the brief
Write “left-eye study” or “right-eye study” on the planning page. Keep that label consistent with the product option and your photographs: looking at a model from the front can otherwise make an informal left/right note hard to interpret later. Preserve the model label rather than renaming the side by where it sits on the desk.
The 3D Silicone Eye Practice Model offers Blue — left eye, Blue — right eye, Brown — left eye and Brown — right eye. The colour describes the iris option. Select one side when that is your immediate exercise; select both sides when comparing the two working positions is the job. There is no need to buy all four options for a side comparison.
Repeat a familiar section around the form
- Draw a short brow or eye-area placement section on paper, keeping its intended relationship to the eye clear.
- Use the chosen side model and photograph the planned section before starting the study.
- Repeat the section while observing where your hand rests and whether your view of the working point stays clear.
- Record one placement observation and one position observation.
Useful notes are specific: “the outer end sits farther from my reference” or “my hand obscures the start of this section.” Those observations identify what to revisit; a general score such as “better” does not describe the next task.
Compare the second side without adding a new design
Use the corresponding section on the other model. Aim for the same design brief, not the same desk arrangement: you may need a different support or viewing position to see the second side clearly. Compare each attempt with its own planned reference before comparing the two results with each other.
If you use different iris colours, retain those option names in the notes. Choose the same colour on both sides when you want fewer visual differences in the study. Neither iris colour assigns a procedure or changes which side the model represents.
Choose the model that earns the next repetition
ATTO’s eye practice models meet our highest professional quality standard and give side-specific placement and support exercises a shaped surface. Choose the side you need now; add its partner when two-sided comparison becomes useful. For repeated marks laid out together, the PMU practice-surface guide explains where a flat sheet fits first.
Finish with a concrete next study: repeat the same side with a clearer support position, or compare the partner side using the familiar section. Select the eye side and iris colour that serves that decision.
Questions about side selection
Do I need both sides to begin?
Choose one for a specific side exercise. Buy both when comparing positions around left and right forms is part of your plan.
Does Blue or Brown choose the side?
No. Each iris colour is offered for left and right. Read both parts of the option.
What should I compare in a paired study?
Compare each section with its reference, then note support position and visibility of the working point on each side.
