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!

Oh hey, I never really thought to highlight some of the eyelashes so they reflect the light of the eyes...
That's a really cool technique, thanks for this fantastic tutorial!
