![]() ![]() It’s not important to copy all the individual lashes as you see in the reference, but you do want to get their general pattern correct.Įssentially the lashes will be pointed toward the right in this corner of the eye.Īnd as they move towards the left, they will gradually begin to point towards you. When draw eyelashes it’s important to capture the direction of the lashes properly. Now let’s put in some tone in the lower eyelid.Īnd now for one last crucial detail… the eyelashes. Again the tear ducts are rounded forms, so you’ll want to put a dark shade in the creases and fade it out as it moves towards the center.Īnd to make the tear ducts look even shinier, I will shape my kneaded eraser into a fine point and pick out some highlights. Next, let’s put some shading in the tear ducts. In this drawing, the light is coming from the right hand side, so the right side of the eyeball will not have much tone in it. The eyeball is a sphere shape, so in order to make it appear round, I will add a dark tone in the left corner of the eyeball and then have it gradually lighten as it moves towards the iris. Next, we want to add some shading to the white of the eyeball as well. A chamois is basically just a piece of cloth that artists use to blend graphite. So to make this easier, I will use an artist chamois to blend the larger areas. And I will blend it out and have it gradually lighten as it moves towards the eye.īlending large area with a blending stump and making it look smooth can be difficult. To make the rest of the eye appear 3 dimensional, I will put in a shadow in the crease of the eyelid. Once the eyelashes are drawn in, these little details will really add to the glassy effect of the eye. These will represent the reflections of the eyelashes. Next, I will draw in little line in the shape of fish hooks in the highlight areas. Now, I will take a blending stump and smooth out the shading. And of course, I will leave the highlight areas blank. To capture this, I will create many tiny lines around the outer edge pointing towards the pupil. The eye that we are drawing is blue, so the iris will not be as dark and will have many streaks in it. I always like to start with the easiest part first, so I’ll use a 4B pencil and fill in the pupil. Once the layout is complete, erase the guidelines. To help with this, you can draw through the entire circle to make sure that everything matches up. And I’ll also draw in the pupil and mark out the highlight areas. When drawing the iris, it can be easy to make the circle misshapen or disproportional. For this drawing, I going to use a simple grid to help me keep things in proportions. The first step is to sketch in the layout. Lesson Details Step 1 – Sketching the Layout ![]() ![]() Please just reply with your shipping address and I will send out the prize right away.
