Description I know this has been done many times before, but I wanted to practice drawing eyes, and explaining how I do stuff to others always makes me really analyse what I do, which helps.

I hope you find this useful, and that it's not too full of language mistakes.. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear, or if you have any other questions! And I wouldn't mind a link back here so more people can see it if it inspires you or helps you with a painting.

death-by-spoon [2009-06-25 04:49:38 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely amazing, and I plan to use this, when I get my tablet.
But May I ask a noob-ish question?
Are you making a new layer for every step? Obviously you are using some, but I am not sure how many is too much or too little for realistic digital painting.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Edana In reply to death-by-spoon [2009-06-25 10:57:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, I would love to see it if you make something inspired by my tutorial.

All artists have different preferences when it comes to layers. I like to paint very big, so I try to keep the layers down to a minimum because of the file size. For this one I think I used one layer for the skin and eyeball, one layer for skin texture, and one layer for the eyelashes and highlights.

death-by-spoon In reply to Edana [2009-07-10 02:05:09 +0000 UTC]

Yay, I'll try. Need to get a tablet first.

Okay, good to know. Thanks so much for the info!
