How to MASTER Drawing an Eye in 5 minutes
Hi, I’m Merrill Kosenji, today I’m gonna show you how to draw the human eye. The basic shape of the human eye is similar to an almond shape, but this is only one of the several shapes that encompass the eye. Think of these shapes as puzzle pieces as you draw a person’s eye in the near future. Remember that these shapes will slightly change base upon a person’s facial expression. Today I will show you step by step how to draw the human eye. Pause the video anytime if you need to, here we go. Step one, make a rainbow shape with a circle under it, the top of the circle should be partially blocked by the rainbow. Step two, make the bottom lid, notice that the lower part of the almond shape narrows as it approaches the tear duct on the inner corner of the eye. Step three, make the pupil and leave an empty space in the middle for a reflection, the line above is the eyelid folded back. Step four, add the shape of the eyebrow. Step five, add a light line below the eye to hint at the eye socket, also, shade in the iris. Step six, shade in the eyebrows. Try to notice that they are not one solid shape. Step seven, add the eyelashes. Try to notice that they are much thicker on the top eyelid. Step eight, add the final shading, the darkest areas should be directly under the eyebrow and under the eye.
