How to Draw Eyes

How to draw eyes

How to draw eyes and here I am using ordinary cartridge paper for this demonstration. First I drew an oval shape which houses the whole

eye, why an oval shape? well if you look at an eye and the shapes around it you should see an oval shape from the bony protuberance around the eyebrow coming around to the upper part of the cheek.

Now we have a rough oval shape we can then draw the main shape of the eye itself inside this oval. Draw in the crease above the top eye lid and note that this line doesn't exactly follow the shape of the top lid so good observation is needed here, lastly put in the little nodule in the left corner of the eye observing its shape. Observe carefully the outline of the eye, it has subtle little curves and shapes on both top and bottom lids and the top lid is a very different shape to the bottom one.

Drawing the eyes as with anything else is all to do with shapes and once you get into the habit of observing what's going on in whatever you are drawing you will be well on your way to becoming a good artist. Now we have the basic eye shape in we can then put in the lens of the eye which when looking straight at us is a perfect round shape. Observation is the key here so observe how far away the lens is from the left and right corners of the eye and observe the size and shape of the lens in relation to the whole eye shape. Keep in mind the relationships of the shapes and lines that you draw in and then draw in a little round shape for the pupil.
