Eyes and Eyebrows

Drawing eyes can be tricky, and eyebrows are certainly key for helping with facial expressions. First you need to find what eye shape you want. I will be showing you my style for drawing eyes which has changed since the last post.

Eyes

  1. Start with a circle for the iris
  2. Sketch the top of the eye shape, add a couple eyelashes if you would like to
  3. Sketch the bottom of the eye shape, decide if you would like to have the two lines connect or not
  4. Fill in the color you want your eye to be, make sure you fill in with the lightest shade you will be using
  5. Get a darker shade and shade the upper half, with a small loop down to where the pupil will be
  6. Get a the darkest shade you will be using and draw a couple lines around the bottom of the pupil
  7. Get a lighter shade and draw some lines between the darker lines
  8. Get a good in between shade to blend those lines
  9. Draw in the pupil, make sure your eye color is well blended to your liking

Eyebrows

  1. Find what eyebrow shape you would like
  2. Sketch the shape a bit above your eyes
  3. Using short strokes, lightly fill in the little hairs, using the color of your choice
  4. Choose a darker shade and add a couple random lines
  5. Choose a lighter shade and do the same
  6. Make sure you blend it
  7. Do not erase any lines that went out of the eyebrow shape, it will make it look more realistic (unless you made one too long, in which case shorten it a little bit)
