Drawing Fundamentals: How to Draw Realistic Eyes

1. Introduction: Hey there, My name is arruniya and welcome to our drawing class. I'm an artist who specializes in drawing and painting, and I love experimenting with different media. In this class will be breaking down how to draw a realistic eye into different components, including how to space the eyes out so they're balanced. Simplifying the eyes into Basic Shapes. Well, let's Shading and different drawing techniques. This project is beginner friendly and guided step-by-step. Our goal is to practice our drawing fundamentals and use the creative process and a Drawing Method you can apply into projects in the future. Over the span of these bite-sized lessons, you'll learn not only how to draw a realistic eyes, but how to break down complex shapes into smaller ones. And techniques for pencil and coloured pencil drawn. By the end of these lessons, I hope you just ask pumped as I am to have drawn and coloured to eyes. I'd love to see your artwork, so feel free to share your completed pieces of me for online feedback. Now let's jump in and get started. 2. Sketching the Basic Shapes: Hi there, My name is arruniya and today we're going to learn how to draw a realistic eye. Before we jump in, let's make sure we've got everything we needed. So you can see here, I've just got some drawing paper or sketch paper that I've got ready-to-go. I do have my pencil nice and sharpened. I've got my sharpener in case that needs a touch-up. I've got my eraser and I do have some colored pencils and many years as well. A little later on in our artwork. With that being said, let's jump in and get started. You are welcome to make it a little bit more creative. You're welcome. Change the inside of the eyes, the colors. You, you're welcome to put a reflection if you'd like. I'll share some examples of that before we start drawing. What I would like to do. Don't worry too much about the technical part because we will be doing that together. We'll go step-by-step, we'll break it down nice and easy. Our goal today is to get at least one. I will do a second one if you'd like together, I'll do one first though. You can make it Creative by changing the colors. Changing up what goes inside your eye, changing up the things that you'd like to make it more creative. So let me share some examples of what An Eye reflection might look like. So your reflection can be anything you want. It could be based on the colors. It could just be An Eye if you just wanted to make it a colorful eye. But we're really focusing on shading, pressing really lightly today and adding teeny-tiny details to make it look a little more realistic. Okay? Alright, so this is my sheet of paper. Just make sure you were working side-by-side. So all I'm gonna do for mine is I'm just going to draw a light line that goes across my page is gonna go up and down. You can use your ruler if you'd like for this, I'm gonna erase this line later. So you see, that's what I'm going pretty lightly. Can see it's really light. I'll go over it one more time, but I'm gonna be erasing this later. So just make sure that you've got this halfway line in your artwork. If you guys measure with your fingers the average space, so it can be a little bit bigger, a little bit smaller than what I'm going to tell you is the average base of your eye you can measure with your fingers is about the width. The space in-between your eyes. If I take my eyes and I measure the middle, it should be about the same distance as each other. So there's an eyes space between both of your eyes. So I'm gonna keep that in mind today depending on how big you want to make your eye. That's how much space we're probably going to leave in the middle. But keeping that in mind, I want to make my eyes pretty big. I want to make sure I have a lot of space to work with them. I don't want to have teeny tiny eyes and make it really hard for me to add details. I just wanted to figure out how big my eye is gonna be. I'm gonna make it about three or four spaces wide. So you can see my hand here and put about four fingers. I'm gonna make them about four fingers. Space is wide, so that means one of my eyes is gonna be forefinger spaces wide when I draw them. Okay. But I'm gonna take about four fingers and on each side of my hand, I'm just going to put a very light line. If you want, you can use a ruler to evenly measure, but I'm just gonna put about forefinger spaces again on this side of my line. So that's just to tell me how wide my eye is gonna be. And I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side. So I have a line, have forefinger spaces and then align other side of a line for finger spaces. Then I would recommend if you'd like to follow along with me to do the second, I won't be adding all the details to the second Eye. Add some as we go, but not all of them at the end. So we can add those together as well. If you are also at the spot, you're welcome to very gently erase the middle line. If you'd like. You're just going to draw a really light circle dotted lines. So I'm gonna erase this line later. This doesn't have to be very big, but our dotted line is gonna go right in these two kind of marker lines. Okay? So you can see here if you want something to trace, you can trace it. And I'm gonna be erasing this line later, so please, please press lightly. I will press a little bit more just so you can see. But when you're drawing, make sure you're pressing lightly. You can see I just did like a rainbow shape. It's all within that dotted line are the two dots that I are two lines that I made before. But I'm just making a rough circle. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle. You can see it kinda made a circle there. Everyone see that? I'll go over it a little bit more if you want, but you don't want to fill in the line entirely. I'd recommend just doing the dotted line. Okay. It's a bit wide on this side, so I'm just changing a little bit and to measure and make sure that the other side is very similar. Well, what happened? I think that's just my eraser go On the other side. So to make sure they're about the same size, a neat trick that you can do is if you have a ruler, you can just measure the top being like, oh, it's about that high. The bottom, oh, it's about that low. And then you can draw your little circle and on the other side as well. I'm gonna go to, to do I'm drawing in Missouri. Go the other side. Alright. Okay. So you can see I've got about two eyes there. Does everyone see that? Or two circles? They're not really eyes yet. So I'm going to start with the part of the eye, like the lines, the main lines that we have in our eye. So the lines that outline our actual eyeball. And then there's always a little like an eyelid line. Okay, so I'm going to draw a diagonal line for, I'll get really close to the camera. For this part of the eye, the eye part that comes from the middle. So if you've got your middle line here, you just going to draw a very light diagonal line. You can see it doesn't really go to halfway up the mustache, my circle, I'm going to press a little bit more so you can see, but make sure to press really lightly. I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side. Just making sure they're about the same height. What we're gonna do next is we're going to draw the little U-shaped part of your eye that you can see. Does anyone see that below? But this little U-shaped pattern I'll show you right now. It's like a little C-shaped. So if you want to draw a little C-shape in your tear duct because that's where your tears come from. They come from really close middle part of your Eye. That's what we just drew in these two little C-shaped see them there. So if you'd see these to see lines, everyone see these to see lines here. I'm just gonna make a little like almost like a little bump that comes up. I'm going to press a little bit more so you can see it's not a big bump. Just comes out. I'm gonna make the part that goes over and back down. Okay? So if you want, you can make this curve for now. I'm just going to make it come over. It's almost like a curved line that comes down, but it's kinda straight at the top. This one's quite a wide eyes. So if you want to make it a little bit less big, There's lots of different eye shapes so you can make it any way you'd like to see that this one comes a little bit. Hello, press a little bit more, but just pressing really lightly. And once you like the top of the eye, you're like, Oh, I like that shape. Then you can keep it. I'm under the same thing on the other side. So you can see that there's a short line here. I'm going to draw that one more time. Break it down a little more here so you can see short line. If it's too, you can see it. This one's going kinda higher. This one came down really quickly. So I'm gonna change it just a little bit. So they're going at the same kind of diagonal. And then it curves back down. And then if I wanted to make it look more curved, like a curved eye, I would just go back over the slide. I would curve where there any points right now? They're just curved it. Same thing here. Now it's pretty close to the outside of my eye. I'm still going to just do this. I want to make sure they're on the same height. So if one's higher than the other right now I can change it. So this one is a bit higher. So I can either make this one higher as well or make one shorter. Just make sure they're almost about the same size as you work. I'm going to start where my two duct was. And I'm just gonna make it very gentle Yulen that comes back to the other side of my Eye. So not a very big you lie. You don't want it to make it look like really, really big. So just stay gentle. I go really lightly here. U-shaped are very Smiley shaped die, right? You can see that there. You want to make it bigger. You can make it bigger. If you want to make it smaller, you can make it smaller. I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side. I'm just going to measure the bottom. I'm gonna go doo doo doo doo, doo. The bottom here. That's a neat trick. You can just elevator and ANOVA. Just going to check that it's the right spot. Yeah. Pretty close. I'm going to draw the bottom there. I'm just gonna go in centromere, just get the bottom there. So just as you're working, make sure they're about the same. I know they can't be exactly the same and that's okay. Just, just you investability. Fix it up. If you see there's a big difference. This part isn't too hard. So remember our tear ducts. I'm just going to draw a line above my eye and this is just for the eyelid So sometimes your eyelids are a little bit bigger, sometimes they're a little bit smaller. And the picture you can see there's a line above the eye. So just above the eye, I'm just gonna leave little bit of space and it's almost like copying the line that already exists. Alright, let's see, there's a little bit of space and then it copies the line that already exists. It just comes up a little bit. Sometimes they're a little bit closer or sometimes a little bit further than the eye. And then you can see on the top of the eye it just copies it and comes back. I wouldn't draw any details yet. You can just take a look. I'm just drawing a line that almost copies the top of the eye. And it's a little bit wider on this side and a little bit closer to the eye on that side. So if you want to try it out, I'll show you on this side. So it's just almost copies the eye on the other side. If you want to erase your dotted line, you can gently start to erase that. I'm not erasing all of it. I'm just tracing the top, the bottom, and the to sidelines that helped me measure the length of my I still have some of my dotted line. You can see that. But I'm starting to erase some of the lines because they're starting to interfere with my drawing. I like the dotted line. But right now it looks kinda funny because there's no eyes in there. So I want to draw the eye in this circle like the pupil part. And you can see in the drawing below the eye that's looking at us as a little bit of space from the bottom, like the whitespace at the bottom. I would say if you're thinking about how much whitespace believe if you were following similar measurements that I was right at the bottom of the eye. So if this is the bottom of my eye, I'm going to leave a little bit of space. And I'm just going to draw a little line there. Okay, I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side to my best ability, I'm gonna try to measure them out. But I've left a little bit of space at the bottom. And I'm going to draw my eye in there. Okay. The next part, isn't that hard? It's obviously the pupil. The pupil is a circle the eye apart. Lots of people have different colored eyes. So you can definitely make the eyes different colors once you get there. But they're all circles. The circle does Overlap or desk go underneath my Eye little bit. So if you want to take a look, I'm just gonna keep this bottom line. I'm going to start to make a curve that connects. So this is gonna be my circle, my pupil. You can say Drew part of it in there. The reason why it's not a full circle here, it's because pretend that goes underneath, right? It's being covered by my eyelid. If you look at my Eyes on the screen, Just because I think because you're looking down at me, both of them are covered by the spaces. I'm just going to finish up my circle here. You can see that I've got most of it and I'm trying my best to make it a circle. Don't worry if it's not a perfect circle, That's not what we're aiming for here. Doesn't really have to be if you think about how your eyes kind of covered a bit anyways, does not be perfect circle. Okay. I'm gonna do the same thing on this side now. So I'm just trying to measure out and see how big my eye is here. And I'm just going to do the same thing. Just blocking in my little circle shape. So all I've got right now or two pupils, it looks really worried right now. You can kinda see that if your eyes look a little bit worried, it might just be because of how your top of your eyes shapes. If you want to comment down a little bit, it'll get a little bit better as we shade, but you can make it less pointy of An Eye if you want, you can just make it a little bit more curved, a little bit more relaxed. I'm going to draw the iris and neck. So that's the black part of your eye, of the part where you can kinda see through. And that goes right in the middle of your eye. So it's just an extra circle you can see I'm just blocking it in. So Fun fact about Eyes is if there's like a big, bold, bright light, usually your pupil feels like it will look like it got a little bit smaller. So to just to the light. But if it's like really dark, like if you're in a really dark room, your pupils adjust and they get a little bit wider, ***** and kinda see a little bit better. Sometimes I can pictures. You might see that the pupils might look a little bigger. I'm just making them like a pretty regular size. I don't want them to be pretty big, are pretty small. I just want them to be like normal size. So that's what you'll see there. And one more thing about the tear duct is I'm just going to draw a little curved shape there. Because if you look into your own IOC it to, if you get really close, you'll see where like your skin on the inside of your head starts, I guess where your eye ends and your tear duct. Okay. We're gonna start slowly with the shading process. So if you still have dotted lines like I do, you can start to get rid of those. If you want to think about something creative to put in your eye as well, you can think about that while we're doing this. You can think about what color I, you'd like if we want to think about that because we are going to start shading a little later. I want to make sure that you're on the right track. But I can see it looks like to eyes. Do it empty eyes? 3. Finishing the Drawing: Okay, I'm gonna get started with the next step. So I'm just going to keep it like this. We're gonna be shading in our eye and you can see the two corners of the eye below the tear duct and then the opposite side of your eyes shaded just a little bit. So I'm just going to find that part of my eye so you can see the edge of my eye. I'm just going to really lightly start to shade there. So right at the edge of my I'm just going to shake gently as I get closer to my Eye. I'm not going to shade anything in. So go a little bit harder because I know that it's harder to see on camera. But at the edge of my eye, I'm just Shading a little bit shaded in there. If it's harder to see, you can outline some stuff but please don't pass. Press hard because it makes it harder to erase if you need. I'm just going in on each corner. I'm just gently shading. As I get towards the middle. I'm not going to shade anymore. It's just really gentle, not pressing hard any anywhere. We're also going to shoot right underneath or eyelet. So automatically because your eyes are kind of in your face, they're like inward. You get a little bit of a shadow right underneath your eyes. So I'm just going to gently shading here, you'll see I did play shade gently, gently. Even though this part of your eye might be white like the outside area, you will have a little bit of shadow that happens automatically. Automatic shadow. It's like when you can't get rid of your shadow. So is there so you can see it just shaded the outside of the eye shadow. So the top of the Aye. Mr. Outlining my Eye. You can do that as well if you'd like. I'm just making sure I like the shape. So I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side if you want to take a look at what I'm doing on the corners of the eye. I'm just shading it in a little bit. Because remember, even in the white parts of your eye, you do have a little bit of shadow. Undo the quantity eye as well. Then I shading the shadow. Working towards the next couple of parts. It's more shading detail going over lines that you know, you're keeping. So if you want to gently Overlap any lines that you know, you like, like the top eyelid, your little lens here. I wouldn't press hard into any areas. I'm just overlapping and areas I know I want to keep I'm going to add the shadow to the top of my eye. There's also a little bit of shading that goes into your eyelid. So if you want to follow along with this part, I'm just going to make sure that this is the eyelid that I'm keeping right underneath the eyelid, I'm just Shading a little bit. So it looks like it's folded, has a little bit of 3D. Depth. Depth is just like how far something looks like it's going in. Okay. So you can see I just gently shaded that line there if you're not sure how to shade a little bit, just gently go side-to-side, go outside the line a little bit, instead of staying inside or lines we wanted to shade underneath them. So it's okay if you don't stay exactly in your lines today. Vacancy I'm just gently shading underneath my eyelid. Don't be afraid to add shadows. Administrate under the eyelid you can see right now. I'm also going to gently just shade the whole eyelid so you can see a little bit of value. I'm just going super lightly, just so it's not white anymore. You can see I'm just going over the whole thing. You can barely tell it's even shaded in it, super light. It's like one of my lightest shaded areas. You see that? Do the same thing on the other side? Gently shaded in both eyelids. Still see that my eyelids have shading at the top, making it look like a shadow. You can slowly start to think about your pupil. You might have some shine in your eyes. You might want to block those shapes. And so underneath my pupil I'm just going to draw a U-shape or it can be touching my people even. And it's almost gonna be a little rectangle. But it depends on what's like, what's reflecting in your eye, right? This just might be a bright light that's reflecting in my eye. And I'm just going to gently block it in. It's like little rectangle and redraw the same thing or a longer shape above my pupil? So you can see there, I'm going make it a little bit bigger. It's overlapping my pupil just a little bit. So if you want to have anything overlapping, you can you don't have to have the same shine mark is me either. I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side just so they match. It's like a mirror. So maybe if it's pointing on one side, this side, then it's gonna be pointing on the other side. And I'm going to do the same thing at the top to my eye. Alright. So right now it looks kinda funny. It's okay. If you're ready to start coloring in the pupil, you can gently color it in. I'm not going to gently fill it in a bit darker later, but for now I'm just filling it in so you can see not colouring in the shine mark. Okay. I'm just gently shading is gonna be quite a bit darker later as that goes, I'm just going to gently Overlap always make sure not to press really hard. Because one, it's going to look really shiny and you might not, it's not the sun that we're looking for in the eye that's like the shine of when you press too hard. Looking for different kind of shine mark today. So ligand to start to fill that in, we're actually pretty much almost done. The only things we have to add in is eyelashes and then all the shaded areas that we want to go with. So right now it looks a little bit funny because only certain areas are colored in. I can tell right now at this eye looks like it's a bit smaller than that. I am just going to slowly just erase some areas are mixing the eyes or it's too much makes them areas look like they match up. So when you feel comfortably can slowly start to outline your lens. Your is well, not pressing really hard. You can see him just shading. I'm just outlining it so it's a little bit bolder. You can see that same thing here. Just outlining. Just outlined the eyes a little bit. I can tell that this one just looks like a little bit wider, so I'm just going to make it a little less wide at the bottom. So as you go, if you notice anything that you need to change, feel free to change it. We're also going to start to color in our eye duct very soon. I'm gonna get the pupil in. So sorry, I got the pupil and I'm gonna get the inner tear duct in. So if you guys want to shade that just a little bit, you can start to outline your eyes as well if you'd like. This is just to make sure you know which areas are slightly darker. You can see him just colouring in the little your deck there. I'm not colouring all of it in, but I'm going to start to kinda outline my Eye of it. Alright, so I'd recommend if you haven't done this yet, I'm not going to outline the bottom too much, but every other outline of my eyes. So the top part of my eye, the bottom part of my eye, I'm just going to outline a little bit, 60. That one's outlined a bit. I'm going to leave a little bit of the bottom of the air. So no matter what gender you are, everyone has eyelashes. Just depends on how big or small you want them to be. So that's just something to remember. You can make them bigger, you can make them smaller. I'm going to draw them with you so you can decide. Have I got look. You can see I just out on the top there. I'm going to outline or color in my inner tube duct. Feel like there we are. So you can see I'm just continuing the bold line a little bit. I'm going to continue on the other side. I've got, you can see how much the bold line changes, how things look. You're trying to make sure they match up the best you can then have to match up perfectly. You also want to add a little bit of shading at the edge of your eye if you'd like. You can see just at the edge of my ad shows a little bit of shadow. I'm just pulled Anning or and share a little folder. So I'm going to start with the eye lashes and stuff. Okay? So I'm going to draw a couple of arrows on my artwork. This is just a reminder to show you which direction the eyelashes go. Okay, So they follow the curve of your eyes. So if your eyes like this, so don't draw this in your eyes, kinda like this, right? It curves. Don't draw those in. Your eyes curve. So your eyelashes follow that For example, if I drew an eyelash here, it goes up and out. So don't draw these ones in. This one goes the other way, it goes up and out that way. You see how there it's almost like fireworks. Biobricks don't go all the way up, right? They kinda come out a little bit. That's just like your eyelashes that come out a little bit and then you can see that they're curving. Do you see that? I'm going to draw those lines here so you can see the curved out and out. But when they get to the middle of your eye, it might be going up. And then they go the other way. Same thing for the bottom right. So if they come out, they go out and down, out and down. I'm down out and down. If these arrows help you out, feel free to draw them in. If you don't want to draw them and you can just draw the eyelashes with me. But I'm going to erase these arrows later so you can see how they look at the end. Okay? I'm gonna start with the bottom of the eye. So the bottom of the items starting with, because we have to draw a little bit of the lid at the bottom. I'm just gonna go into the bottom of my eye, everyone, if you see the line at the bottom, I'm just gonna give a quick outline underneath that is very thin outline. So all I'm gonna do is take my pencil and you can see I'm just outlining the Gautam of my eye. So little, little, little you can see here I'm gonna do on the other side. Right after this, I add my eyelashes. So do you guys see that little little outline underneath my eye? I'm under the same thing on the other side. Alright. So just make sure you've got the underneath I outline. I'm going to start with the little eyelashes. Okay. So if you'd like, you can start with me. I'm just going to add a little bit more shading to this side of my eye. Here. Shading goes a big way, really helps make your eye look a little bit more realistic. So if you want to try that today, I'd definitely recommend it. But your eyelashes. So if you want to start with me, I'm gonna show you how the eyelashes got out. Okay, so I'm going to start with the bottom because they are a little bit smaller. I'm going to start at the corner of my eye. All right. So if you want to take a look at your eyelash, if you will even look at your own eyes, your eyelashes that are closer to the middle of your eye or a little bit tinier than the ones at the edges. So keeping that in mind, the ones at the edges I'm gonna make come out like my lines here out like a firework. There's gonna be short for now. So they're gonna come out and over. There's a little bit curved. They don't have to all be the same. Like same direction they can come out and like Overlap a little bit if you'd like. You don't have to have a lot of them either. Just gonna put a couple in. But they're coming out and over, kind of following those those lines that I drew. You don't have to have a lot either. So sometimes people have lots and lots of eyelashes. That's okay. If you want it. Seem just drawing a couple there. When I get to the middle, I'm just making sure that my direction changes a little bit. The ones in the front of the eye closer to the the tear duct is a little bit easier because they're short. There's not a lot of them. So I'm just trying a couple there. If you want to tell them really long, you can draw them really long. But you don't want to do this. You don't wanna go leg straight, right? Because that starts to look like a sun. You want to curve them. So if you want to see here, they're curved. They're not all the same length either. Some of them are shorter, some of them are longer. And that's just naturally how eyelashes are. You might only see the ones that are really long because that's the longer ones, that's the thicker ones that you have. But you do have little tiny ones as well. So make sure that you draw a couple of tiny ones as you work. So you can see I've just got a couple there. I'm gonna make a couple of them a little bit darker. I'm gonna do my second eye a little later. I just wanted to make sure you guys get the first by. If you're doing one, if you're doing two, then maybe you can do the little the other one later as well. But I'm gonna do the top eyelashes now. The top eyelashes are a little bit bigger, no matter which didn't know you can do bigger eyelashes, smaller eyelashes, but usually just like I mentioned, the eyelashes on the outside or bigger. The eyelashes on the inside are a little bit shorter. So if I'm starting on the outside here, I'm just going to make sure that this line is pretty bold. So I can tell. Then I'm just going to start with my arrows so they kinda come outward like this. There are a little bit bigger. So I'm gonna make a couple that are bigger. They're curved. The big thing is that they're curved, right? Make sure they're curved. I'm going to add a couple in from me. I actually don't have too long of an eyelash. They're kinda short. So I'm just going to make sure that I have a couple kinda as they go across. And there's some that come out obviously in the middle, then some shorter ones closer to the end. Just make sure they're not all the same height. Because then we'll look kinda like a Barbie doll where you have there all the same size. Almost like a robot. You know. If you did want to add a reflection into your eye, you might want to think about what it is. And if you wanted to draw a sketch and you can, if you don't want to do a reflection, what you're gonna see me end up doing is I'm going to draw a zigzag line that goes to my people and then to the edge of my lens. So you can see here, I'll finish up my eyelashes so you can see, but I'm gonna do the inside of the eye now. Now we're pretty much done 4. Colouring the Drawing: I'm going to start the inside of the eyes. So if you wanna do this in color, like he chose a color you undo and color you can definitely do it in color. You'll just see me going side-to-side, look at my zigzag line and it goes to my pupil. And then it goes outward. Overlap my shine mark because remember I want it to be shiny. Of course. You want to go lightly. Exam just putting the zigzag line in first. Once I put the zigzag line and I'm going to shade it. But I haven't shaded yet. If anyone wants to see how big this is, the zigzag shape that I'm adding. But just tiny in my eye. I'm trying to really quick so you can see there In small. Then I'm going to shade. Okay, so any lines that you really want to see, sometimes you can see those eyes. The lines in your eyes a little bit easier. Sometimes it's a little bit harder to see. If you're starting to lose your shine mark. You can outline it like I am. So I don't lose it entirely. That way when I'm shooting, I don't forget that it's there. And now because those lines are and I'm just going to gently shading parts of my eye. Usually the top of the high, I'm just gonna make a little bit darker because there's a bit more shadow there. So the top, a little bit more. Even though I'm Shading with pencil and my add a little bit of color at the end. But I haven't decided yet. You can see what a difference it makes when you start to shoot in the eye. If you're starting to lose those little lines in your eye and you want to draw them back. You can see I'm adding them it afterwards. We do that to the key to making it look a little bit more realistic is make sure you shade in this little bit here and you can see my eyelashes aren't very strong. So I'm gonna go over them once I know that I'm keeping them and I like those ones, then you can go over a little bit more. You can see I'm going over some of them. You can have bigger ones, you can have smaller ones if you'd like. But shading is really important here to make sure it looks a little bit more like a real eye shading right underneath. Yeah. Your pupils, one of the darkest sparks sparks spots of your eye. So make sure that you go and Overlap that as many times as you can without being shiny you don't want. But I'm going to start to add shading to the bottom of my eye as well because it looks like there's not a lot gone down at the bottom. I'll show you the little veins are the landmarks, the blood vessels in your eye. I'm just gonna make a couple of wiggly lines that go towards the edge of my Eye so that both edges of my eyes so where the tears are and then where the end of my eye is. You don't have to pressing really hard. If you press really hard, your is going to look like they're really tired. So try not to press those in really hard. I'm just drawing a couple of wavy lines, zigzag lines. In my I dropped some at the bottom here. Want to have too many. You don't want, want to diode minds as well. You can tell because the pupil super dark, it does look a bit confusing. It looks like it's really darken that too. I'm going into the top and adding a little bit more value, making sure that there's areas that are also similarly dark in my artwork that'll help balance it out. Um, do the same thing now so you can see it did what? I do some of the eyelashes again, I got to the other eyes, so come back to this. But other than that, we're pretty much dense. If you want to add any final touches, if you want to start eye color. If you want to change the background entirely, if you want to make it look like it's, have you guys ever seen like illustration aren't where they like, draw what looks like a piece of paper. So it looks like you like Tor piece of paper but you actually didn't tear it. It's just like drawn in You can kinda make an illusion that way if you'd like to. But I just make sure that your eyes are first done. I'm going to hop onto my other eye. If you want to add color, I'll show you really quick how to add color. I'm trying to think about what I coloured like. I already coloured in for the majority, so I'm just going to choose a color that would look well, it's already dark. So I'm going to use a teal or a blue. So you can see that here. First of all, I just wanted to make sure it's sharpened so I don't imagine anything that I don't want to smudge. So I'm just going to use this blue and I'm just going to outline my eye just a little. It might be difficult to see because it's already done in pencil. So if you do want to go in with color, you might want to erase just a little bit if you'd like. Let's see what color does to my scene. I'm just are my eye here. Finishing up one of their eyes. You can follow along here with me if you'd like to. So I'm going to slowly start to add eyelashes, this one as well. You can see how much of a difference color and eyelashes do. I'm gonna start to erase any of the sketch lines that I made as well. If you have any sketch lines leftover and make sure you start to erase those. If you want to add any skin tone. I know I didn't add any of that. You can definitely add it if you want. Add some shading, maybe started different drawing if you'd like. You can see I'm just adding my eyelashes and it didn't realize, but I was adding quite a bit of eyelashes here. So I just wanted to make sure they match up on the other side and they're still pretty curved. I remember closer to the inside of the middle of your face there's less are not as many eyelashes. So if you're ever looking to practice your sketching or drawing skills, eyes are always a good one to come back to you. Because you get better and better the more you practice, right? That goes with anything. Anything that you practice enough, you get better and better. So you can see, as I'm starting to add more shading and more eyelashes, it's starting to look more like an I. And C. I'm just getting my eyelashes in once I've got enough are enough that I like, I'm going to start to erase the guidelines to the bottom lines. In the top lines. Make sure you have shadows as well. So I'm just making sure that my eyes are outlined enough. Start to erase the guidelines are to color my island more than yeah. Remission. Start to slowly erase all my guidelines. Since you for the most part, my eyes are done. One of them looks like there's shaded in a little bit more. So I'm just going to go back to the side and see if I can get it. It's adding any last shading. So just remember the big, the one of the big things that I'll share with you that you want to make sure you have if you don't have it already, is just make sure underneath your eyelid there is some shading because no matter what, that will really add to your artwork and make it look a little like. It's a little more real, is a little bit of a realistic guy. You can see I'm just going back underneath my eyelid. Shooting, shooting away. Thanks for joining me for this lesson. I hope you had font and I'll see you next time.
