To this day I can recall how good it felt to be recognized and praised for getting a good likeness of the president I was drawing. I also remember getting a lot of attention from our teacher and other students for my drawings. If I remember correctly, I think I got through about 4 or 5. I remember wanting to draw each one of them before the school year was over. Our teacher had pictures of all the US presidents posted around the bottom of the classroom. One of my earliest memories of drawing is from second grade. For this drawing I’ll be using a graphite pencil.Įverybody wants to learn how to draw portraits of people. The purpose of this lesson is to show you how to draw the basic structure of a human eye. Today you’ll learn the steps involved in drawing a semi-realistic eye. the lack of lower eyelashes was driving me crazy.Learn how to draw eyes in this easy to follow step by step art tutorial that’s perfect for beginners. Step 9 - By Freddio and Sweetpea - I added a bit of stuff also, got a bit more depth into it more contrast also so the highlights look better. Very nice painting though Jez - made me want to play with it. Just for fun * more wetness and redness in the corners of the eye * sharpened the edges of the iris - since it's a hole with a sharp edge What I didn't do is correcting the overall shape, since one would treat and shade the eye as a part of a sphere (rest is hidden by eyelis & skull) with a little sphere on top (the pupil/lens). Here's what I added: * Harder shadow from the eyelid - helps defining the eye * Highlights in the white part of the eye / pseudo enviroment reflection - since the eye is wet, it picks up quite a bit from the enviroment. Step 8 - By Loki - I took the freedome and went quickly over your eye. Thank you so much to everyone that contributed! Â I wanted to include these steps because they pull everything together very well. Other artists decided to throw their own steps in and take my unfinished eye to whole other level. UPDATE: I posted this tutorial on a public forum and the feedback I got from it was awesome. Remember that this is a wet surface we're dealing with, so parts of your eye appear glossy. I also added a bright hightlight to the tear duct. Step 6 - Last step! I added some "spokes" to the center of the eye to make it more realistic. Often I notice that eyes are dark around the edges and in the center, then they sort of fade into the center where the highlight gets bold and the color of the eye is more evident. I've always darkened the pupil as well as the rim around the iris. Deepen the shadows along the lash line. I've heard that the eye almost always highlights this way - but don't quote me on that ) And the same as the step above, you want to add light to the eyeball itself to make it appear round. Notice that on section 2 the highlighted part of the iris is opposite the bright white highlight. You'll notice things are getting a bit more crisp now. With a finer brush, add bolder highlights in specific areas. Remember that its called an eyeBALL for a reason. lots of people forget to shade the eyeball itself and leave it stark white. A nice balance between light and shadow is important to make areas *pop*. Look in the mirror at your own eye to see what I mean. Your eyelids are not flat, they are thick folds of flesh that wrap around the eyeball. It shows the highlight along the inner rim of the bottom lid. I pointed out specific areas which I think are important. Step 2 - Here I've started to develop the highlights. This drawing doesn't show the subtle contours of the tear ducts and the folds in the lid. There is no sense of form because there are no varying line widths. *grin* Another problem with the drawing below is that the lines of the eyelid are overly defined. unless the person has naturally bugged out eyes like me. Almost any time you see a relaxed eye, part of the iris will be concealed. Lots of people have a tendancy to draw the iris small and in the center of the eyeball, not touching either the upper or lower eyelids. *grin* I see eyes like the lower one all the time. This is an example of how not to draw an eye. I think my eyes are rounder than average. Keep in mind that eyes vary a LOT from person to person. I've noticed that many people forget to draw tear ducts on their eyes. Notice how the lines droops down on the left and flares slightly upwards at the bottom to reveal the tear duct. Step 1 - Start with a basic sketch of the eye. A few people have asked me how I draw eyes.
