Description Many people have been asking me for a tutorial, especially for the eyes... Well I am brave enough to make one for anime, not realism though, cause I'm still learning haha~

Well, hope you guys like this tutorial, if there is any mistake please tell me - so I can correct them!

Thank you very much!
Download for big, clearer, awesome view of the tutorial!


other useful note:
You can do vice versa on the eyeball and lashes highlights too, eyeball reflecting white light from the lashes, I always use that technique and I love the effect!

I'm using FireAlpaca, so I had to do some different things, but this was still really useful. Didn't turn out particularly great, but it was my first attempt, so that's ok. Thanks much!

jenonade [2014-02-14 01:59:19 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! I found that if you use SAI instead of using hard light, you can just use luminosity, and it looks almost exactly the same! This helped me so much thank you~

tigerNekoma [2014-01-17 10:45:45 +0000 UTC]

what porgram should i use ? and is there any program helps u to make the mouse more helpful with painting?

CheshireCatDraws In reply to tigerNekoma [2015-03-19 02:03:26 +0000 UTC]

Use PaintToolSAI its free but its kinda complicated, I learned how to use it from tutorials on YouTube.

ReiRobin In reply to tigerNekoma [2014-01-21 12:13:35 +0000 UTC]

I think each program has its own advantages; Photoshop has this neat tool called the pen tool and you can carefully plan the curves of the line before actually making them into line art. This best part is that you could control the thickness of the lines so it will look similar to a tablet's painting with pressure.
