How to Draw an Eye

This is a tutorial to help you draw eyes.

All you need is some paper and a pencil, I used a brown pencil, but you can use whatever colour you want.

Draw out the basic outline of the eye. Make it into a lemon kind of shape.

Draw a circle in a bigger circle, inside your outline of the eye, this is your iris.

Colour the smaller circle in. Make sure it is quite dark.

Add colour to the bigger circle, make sure it is a light colour. Also leave a bit unshaded, this is where the light is.

Add lines and shadows to the bigger circle, this is the patterns on your eye.

Draw a line across the eye that covers the top of the iris, this is your eyelid. Next shade it in, medium dark.

Add the top lash. You can do this in one continuous "zigzag" shape, or with seperatevstrokes. Make the lashes bigger for a woman, smaller and less ordered for a man.

Now do the same with the bottom lash, except make it slightly smaller than the top one.

Add shading to the corner of the eye, where your nose would be, press reasonably lightly.

Add shadows for the bags under your eyes and underneath your eyebrow, you might want to define where your bag ends, by drawing a thin medium dark curved line. Try to shade in different directions, so that it looks like different shadows on your face.

Draw the outline of the eyebrow, make it thicker for a man thinner for a woman

Add hairs to the eyebrow, make them go in different directions, although more ordered for a woman and less for a man.

Add any shadows, lines...

And your finished!!

I did another drawing if an eye which turned out better, so you can copy and make changes from that (it's the second eye)!!!
