"The eyes are window of the soul"

Hey Guys!

Hope you are all well!

Today I will be doing something different. Instead of just drawing a picture and scanning it in and then showing you, I'm going to actually show you how to draw it. So, I thought I would start with something easy (sort of!)... an eye. Now personally I really enjoy drawing eyes and I hope you will too!

 

What you need:
1 Rubber
1 HB Pencil
1 Pencil sharpener
1 Smudge stump (If you don't have one of these I'd suggest you go and get one as they are very useful for smudging, but for now just use a cotton bud or your finger)
                               
 This is what you'll be drawing!
                             

So first start by sketching a long curved line for the top lid and then a short broken line for the lower lid.

                                      


Next do exactly the same just slightly lower and join up the ends like this. 

 



Then sketch in outline for the iris and pupil in the centre and then add a highlight in the top right corner of the iris. 
  



Now start to add lashes and to shade the upper and lower lids.

 


Next thicken the edge of the iris and highlight and shade in half of the pupil - smudge it with the stump until blurry.

 



Once you have done that it's time to draw the coloured part of the iris. I'm not to sure what to call it so just look at the the image below. 

  

Almost there now just thicken the lashes slightly and touch up anything your not happy with.






Although this is an eye tutorial I'm adding an eyebrow as well so just draw another curved line and thicken at the right end. 




And that is all you have to do although you can to sign and date your picture if you want to. Well that it for now guys hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and remember if you don't succeed the first time keep practising it'll come to you in time.
