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've been working on a sketch of my very first OC for about a week now and the thing that seems to be killing me is properly capturing her character in her eyes. Thank you so much for the help!!!

Very nice! You say you drew this with photoshop?? I don't suppose Photoshop elements 8 would work, would it? :/

Random thing: I noticed that sometimes you wrote "colour" and sometimes you wrote "color"...was it that you spellt it the traditional British/Canadian way and autocorrect was giving you the american spelling, or did you add a "u" by mistake?
I'm sorry, these things just jump out at me. >.<

before highlighting, should I blur the color first?

Both effects are okay, just go with what you feel better.
