Description :'D Reyniki asked how i did my eyes so i decided to show how i do them.


PLEASE REMEMBER I USE AN IPAD TO DRAW AS WELL AS THE SKETCHBOOK PRO APP! I DO NOT USE PRE SET BRUSHES OR BRUSHES MADE BY OTHERS, I DO ALL DETAIL BY HAND(or finger, lol)

Step one : pretty easy, just give yourself a basic outline for an eye, mine is pretty mess cause it was rushed.

Step two : pick a color. Make sure it is NOT at 50% color, you'll use that setting later as a highlight.

Step three : do a bit of shading, i only used 2 darker colors(all variations from the base color) make sure to blur it! Make it look natural, if the colors blend better they look a lot better later on!

Step four : add a pupil once you are satisfied with your shading. Make sure it's soft. Why? Because it looks better, hard pupils are better for when you want to do a scared look.

Step five : now you can use the 50% color! It's nice and bright(do not lower opacity or anything) put a nice thick(not too much) ring around the pupil. Do not blur.

Step six : now add those details! Get your smallest brush out, set it to the lowest size(you can also set your opacity lower, play with settings to get the look you want) use several shades of light colors, maybe even a few dark colors again!

Step seven : okay! Now you have those details, lets add some highlights. I do more of a anime style for the white, but if you want to do a more detailed one blur your white and lower the opacity of that layer to give it a reflective surface. Play with it!

Step eight and nine : pretty simple, again. Take that color at 50% color and use it to mark the places you want to make shine. After than put your layer on ADD or SCREEN. Remember i use an IPAD so my settings are much much different. Experiment. Maybe add a few extra colors in there to give it a pretty look. Lower the opacity to your liking and tada! Pretty looking eye ^^
