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!

melting-milkyway In reply to ReiRobin [2012-02-21 01:55:41 +0000 UTC]

Of course you're good enough! xd Your tutorials though are more informative in a imaginative way than technical (eg. draw a circle, draw lines ) which is good! :3

I like this tutorail a lot because of how clear it is. And of course the look. I always struggled with colouring eyes, so hopefully this will clear things up!

Cardinal4 In reply to ??? [2012-02-06 15:11:47 +0000 UTC]

I know there's a drawing style out there which uses the "soul-less" eyes regardless of situation. I think it's a copic-marker-ish style. Not that it's bad, but it's pretty interesting that I've never noticed the lack of highlights in that style until now.
