Description
Reblog on my TumblrI've seen a lot of eye tuts on dA...at least, what seems like tutorials, but a lot of them are simply either step-by-step or just a bunch of different styles of eyes in different angles. None of them really explain how the eyes look the way it does, why the eyelids casts that shadow on the eyeballs, etc. At least, none that I've seen
I hope this gives you guys a more in-depth look to the human eye and the structure surrounding it. This actually took quite a long time, so i hope you guys like it
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask
here's the step-by-step put into gif so it's easier to see:
here are the skull studies I did back a few years ago:
My other tutorials:
My other works:
I put some anime eyes in the references too, hope you guys don't mind, hahaha.
ps. i put it in traditional art catagory because it's the only one with the subsection "anatomy" in it. I'm not sure why digital art can't teach anatomy either, but you'll have to ask dA about that. xD;;.
PPS: I did this in Painttool SAI

Whoa, thanks! I'm teaching myself semi-realism now and I pretty much have it, but I've always had problems with shadows and wrapping the eyelid around the eyes believably so thank you so much! XD

Hi Qinni This is an awesome tutorial!!! ^^ What brush did you use to make all those tiny details on the eyes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Qinni In reply to Sydney3711 [2012-06-01 22:43:12 +0000 UTC]
thanks!
I used airbrush for the softer edged highlights and the pen tool (in SAI) for the hard-edge highlights .

Sydney3711 In reply to Qinni [2012-06-01 22:51:05 +0000 UTC]
Oh okay! Your welcome. Did you also use the pen tool for the eyelashes? Because they look really neat and pretty ^^

Qinni In reply to Sydney3711 [2012-06-01 22:53:38 +0000 UTC]
no, i used the airbrush, because i needed a softer feel; after all, eyelashes aren't the focus .

I love the references in the last row. You should do a color scheme/ lighting tutorial one day. It'd be so handy. C:

quite referenceful tutorial, and quite different with other.
that's impressive, you're the first i see to use real human anatomy to discribe how to draw an eye, and its quite understandable and Wow!
thanks for your hard work.
