Are you an artistic person who loves  drawing portraits? Are you looking for more ways to convey expression in portraiture? Join me, your friend Artist Ankit Jasmatiya as I am going to teach this detailed beginners guide to drawing eyes that carry emotion.
Did you know that an eye can have more than 15 complex expressions? Studies show that people interpret a person's emotions by analyzing the expression in their eyes, so Shakespeare was right when he wrote, “the eyes are a window to the soul.” 
Understanding the expression of an eye and drawing its emotions accurately is not an easy task. Transferring observations to the page and honing in on how to add details that carry emotion are skills you can bring into other drawings, not just of eyes but beyond, like portraiture etc.
In this class students will do the following:
<ol><li>Find and work closely with reference images to create realistic drawings</li>
<li>Draw the shapes and forms that make up the parts of an eye</li>
<li>Observe eyes with different emotional expressions</li>
<li>Adjust parts of the eyes to convey happiness, sadness, anger, excitement, and suspicion</li>
<li>Practice shading techniques to achieve realism</li>
</ol>Teaching is always a passionate thing for me and I'm so excited to teach about how emotion enhances portraits. Beautiful drawings of people bring us in because of how the artist captured expression or emotions and I can’t wait to show you how to do this in your own work through focusing on drawing eyes in this class.
I am super excited to take you through this amazing journey where art and emotions meet!

I am still learning but because of the examples and tips Ankit provides I have started to love sketching” : Lathesh Salian
