Amaizng eye drawing tutorial

Amazing Eye-drawing tutorial

 Step by step









Draw some outlines..



 See where the darkest parts are, and darken them.






This is roughly how I draw irises:

Again, shade the darkest parts first! 




Then, shade the rest of the eye. Try and create some depth.



 Blend the whole iris with either a tortillion, or a wadding stick (those things you can use to clean your ears)





Repeat this process a few times.




Grab your kneadable eraser and try to create a sharp point to make the iris look less "empty".





Make some more highlights, continue until you're satisfied.





The white parts of the eye obviously aren't all that white, so...

First roughly reflect the darker and lighter parts. 







Use a tortillion or a wadding stick to blend.






Because the last step obviously looked too dark and flat, add some highlights with the kneadable eraser.





Let's shade the upper eyelid!

Again, start by drawing the darkest area. 




Like I did all the time, it's all about realistic shading. An eyelid has lots of different shades...





Use a tissue to blend the eyelid. It obviously still looks kind of flat, but I'll draw the lashes before adding more highlights







It's time to draw a few eyelashes (and I'll show you where to start)

To determine where to draw the lashes above the lower eyelid, shade this tiny part of the eye first. Pencil, followed by a tortillion...








Upper lashes! Try and make them look like bows. Also, they're never all the same length. Keep that in mind.







Draw some lower lashes. They don't have to be all that realistic yet...






The part between the upper eyelid and the eyebrow's fun to draw. Awesome shading!

Like I did all the time... Light pencil strokes that are kind of close together.






Use a tissue to blend.







Repeat this process a few times. Don't be afraid to use darks!







I'm ready to draw the eyebrow...

First, draw the most noticeable lines. 




Then, shade the rest and blend the whole thing. Use a mixture of different tools and see what looks best!






As you can see, I'm starting to shade anything that looks "flat", "missing" or "empty" at this point.

 

 






While I'm doing that, I feel like it's time to shade underneath the eye.
Like I've explained before... 





Blend, and draw the most noticeable lines.






Shade the darkest parts beneath the eye. Try and give it extra realism / depth by adding a few "wrinkles" : some thin lines that aren't supposed to be blended.






Repeat the last step... I also added some shading where the nose is supposed to "start"





Of course, above the eyebrow, shading is needed aswell...

No explanation needed. 




Blend using a tissue...

One last touch and we're FINISHED!
