How to draw an eye

   

I love to draw, and one of the hardest things for me to draw is facial features, like an eye.

This is a tutorial on how to draw the eye below. It is fairly simple but may take a few tries to get right, so keep trying!

 You will need:

2 Different kinds of pencils. A dark 6B or 8B, and a lighter HB

An eraser

Paper

flat surface, like a table or clipboard to draw on.

Step 1: Outline

Okay, to start, draw the basic almond-shaped outline of the eye. Try to make the inner corner (next to the nose) lower than the outer corner. P.S, I'm very sorry the pictures hard to see, my scanner made it very light.

Step 2: Inner circle

 

Now draw the inner circle of the eye.

Step 3: Pupil and highlight

Draw the highlight first, then the pupil under it. Make sure the pupil is in the center of the circle.

 Step 4: Fill in the Pupil

 

Use your dark 6B or 8B to fill it in. You want it as close to black as possible.

Step 5: Upper and Lower eyelid

 

Draw the crease of the upper eyelid, and the bottom one too. I'm not sure if its called the lower eyelid, but its the line under the eye.

Step 6: Begin drawing the Eyelashes

 

Draw a few eyelashes to show  where you will later draw in larger clumps of lashes. Kinda like a basic outline. Sort of.

Step 7: Darken a few things up

 

Darken the inner circle in the eye, the outline of the eye, and draw a line in the inner corner (as showed in the picture)

Step 8: Lines and Lashes

 

Start filling in some more lashes, and add some lines inside the inner circle of the eye.

Step 9: Lines Lines Lines

 

Fill in some more lines lightly inside the circle

Step 10: LINES LINES LINES LINES LINES

 

Add even more lines! But this time use the darker pencil to make darker lines.

Step 11: Adding some Depth

 

Okay, shade in the inside outer edge of the inner circle of the eye ( yes, that is a lot of words ). Use the darker pencil. This will add a lot of depth and roundness to the eye.
