Description Reblog on my Tumblr

I'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 . Rendering the eyes took a LOT longer than simply sketching them D;.


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

Oh thank you I hear lot of people using that, is it better than photoshop?

Qinni In reply to Punky-Panda [2012-06-02 20:14:03 +0000 UTC]

It depends on what you're trying to achieve and really what you're used to. SAI is easier when it comes to blending colours and rendering things neatly, while photoshop is good for works that are a lot rougher, plus you have the usage of textured brushes, which really helps make things faster...sometimes. xD;

Okay i really thank you for your explanation. I usually work on photoshop, but i'm tempted to try on SAI now. Keep up the good work !

This is amazing i also love all the different types of eyes at the end of the tut they are so lovely the coouring and lines are just perfect
but i really love how you have really explained everything i never really thought about the eye sockets at all but this is amazing and its so nice that you share this with everyone and that you have put so much work into this.
