Need help making lines in eye

Hey guys,

I'm needing help with creating the black lines in this eye. Not sure what would be the best way of creating them since they are of different lengths. I don't want to have to create each line individually. I was trying the transform effect, but was having trouble. Is there any other way? Also just tried doing a trace, but didn't turn out that great.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks.

You could probably get close to that look.

Draw a circle that has a stroke color and no fill color.

Choose Effect > Distort & Transform > Roughen. Increase the Detail, and Size.

Since the lines are not real crisp, you could Effect > Blur  > Gaussian Blur to make then a little softer.

Or you could use two circles , one on top of the other, each adjusted with variations of the effects and possibly with one having a darker or lighter stroke color.

    I watched that video earlier, but it was a bit too detailed for what I was looking for. Thank you though!

    You could try and create a pattern brush

    Or multiple pattern brushes that you then apply to one path.
