How to Draw an Eye: Step-by-Step Guide
Materials Needed:
- Pencil (preferably HB or 2B)
- Eraser
- Paper
- Optional: Colored pencils or markers for coloring
Step 1: Draw the Basic Shape
- Start by sketching an almond shape for the eye outline.
- The shape should be wider in the middle and taper at the ends.
Step 2: Add the Iris and Pupil
- Inside the almond shape, draw a circle for the iris (the colored part).
- Inside the iris, draw a smaller circle for the pupil.
- Make sure the iris is partially covered by the eyelids.
Step 3: Draw the Eyelids
- Draw a curved line above the almond shape for the upper eyelid.
- Draw a smaller curved line below the eye for the lower eyelid.
Step 4: Add the Eyelashes
- From the upper eyelid, draw short, curved lines outward to represent eyelashes.
- Add fewer and smaller lashes on the lower eyelid.
Step 5: Sketch the Eyebrow
- Above the eye, sketch the eyebrow following the natural curve.
- Use short, hair-like strokes.
Step 6: Add Details and Shading
- Shade the pupil darkly.
- Add shading to the iris, leaving some white spots to represent light reflections.
- Lightly shade the white of the eye to give it a rounded look.
- Add shadows under the eyelids and around the eye for depth.
Step 7: Final Touches
- Erase any unnecessary lines.
- Darken the final lines you want to keep.
- Optionally, add color to the iris and skin around the eye.
Tips for Drawing Realistic Eyes:
- Observe real eyes or photos for reference.
- Practice drawing different eye shapes and expressions.
- Use blending tools like a blending stump or your finger for smooth shading.
