Ausdrucksstarke Augen für Anfänger zeichnen

Once i'm happy with the drawing I start adding the wrinkles -- at first, only the larger ones, the main lines if you prefer. Usually there would be a few of those under the eye, and some at each extremity too ("crow's feet", 2nd picture). Finally, if I want to detail the wrinkles a bit more I would add smaller wrinkles, smaller lines here and there using a reference picture for more realism. The upper eyelid usually has more lines on it, and as you can see in the 3rd picture the wrinkles sometimes look like large hatchings. I hope this is helpful :) try using reference pictures if you feel stuck and don't hesitate if you have more questions!

Hi Elena! Thank you so much for sharing your work and for the lovely review! :) Your drawings are detailed and expressive, good job! I hope you'll enjoy working from reference as well.  Don't hesitate if you have any questions or if I can help in any way.

I really struggled with drawing older people's eyes where their upper skin is sagging and there are a lot of wrinkles.  Any advice?

Drew as I followed along. The next step is practice on reference photos from pinterest for practice. <img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/7c8695fdddbf89b9615370bd2cae94e9/0ddcbd5c" alt="Practice - drawing eyes - image 1 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/7c8695fdddbf89b9615370bd2cae94e9/0ddcbd5c 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/7c8695fdddbf89b9615370bd2cae94e9/0ddcbd5c 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy">
