Description [link]

My last eye painting tutorial is pretty old and I've been getting e-mails about adding more detail to it.
There's like, a billion eye painting tuts out there, but I just wrote one for Painter Magazine so I thought I'd post the steps.

No words! It's pretty self explanatory.
Done in Corel Painter X (using digital airbrush) with my trusty ol' Wacom Intuos2 tablet.

Same principles apply in Photoshop too.

Given that this is like fourth time I reference this tutorial... I guess it's about time tell you how useful this thing is! Very much like it for painting semi-realistic eyes on occasion.

Also love how this tells so much without the need to say anything

Definitely faved.

I love it!
The eyes are sooo wonderful!
But I find the step between seven and eight is a little too big!
But it is beautiful!

how did you seperate the layers but have the paint not cover the line art??? im having real trouble if you could help it would be awesome

iPony In reply to il0v3z0Mbi3s [2012-01-26 16:48:51 +0000 UTC]

If you're on PhotoShop or GIMP etc. Create a new layer for each layer you want. If you don't want the lineart to be covered, put it at the top of all the layers
