LT means Layer Type.

This by no means is an official style, but it may be common among artists? I have no idea! To each their own. I was asked a while ago about how shaded my eyes, and said I would make a tutorial at some point. After from thinking, here it is!

Take what you like and maybe morph your own coloring style. That's what I did; I use many different shading styles, so mine are never the same! Nor the amount of layers..;; But I'd have to say these are the most common steps in the very least.

----

#1 : Here's your eye. It can be pretty basic, all you need
is its lashes/Iris and away you go~

#2 : Fill it with a color of any kind.Think of a color that may stand out for eyes, since it's often the key factor to bringing life to a picture.

#3 : Eyes have irises, ( or what I mean is that they have pupils; ) But something I like to do is outline the eye so I ahve a boundary line to work with for top/
bottom shading/lighting.

#4 : Blur the sides except the middle! Once you've done
that, erase lightly around the middle to pop it out a bit.

#5 : here you just add a darker tint of the same color you
were shading with. Add this to just the center of the eye, and
blend/blur the top of it so the bottom of it is still visible for
edging.

#6: Add a darker color on the top edge of the eye. ( if you want to experiment, try the outer edges too.) This adds a bit more depth to the colors that are displayed in the eyes.

#7 : Add a light tint to the bottom. Do it as you would
shading, but it's nice and round and just bluring the bottom till
youhave that light line showing.

#8 : Add some more reflections, but also make sure it makes sense of where your light source is coming from~

Add white color on an addition layer and you're done! * v *

I hope this helped;;
And sorry it was so late.
And for so many wording errors above...

This is the first tutorial I've made ever in my entire life LOL

So if it's not the greatest, real sorry about that ; 7 ;
I hope the images/step by process sort of help with my fail explanations;
