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 love how you gave your blue eyes an orange glow, it's not something I usually see when it comes to anime eyes c:
But this really helped me, thanks for this great tutorial ;v;

Thank you also!

And now imagine reproducig that in 2000+ frames a week, in full-fledged frames, I might point out. That's why I'm glad to be a cartoonist in BW only. xD

But it was helpful for single paintings. =3

ReiRobin In reply to Rakkiya [2012-02-05 16:22:48 +0000 UTC]

Haha thanks.. actually I did try a similar, but more simple version on my animation; Though it was hard work, the result never cease to motivate me to go further.

ReiRobin In reply to ReverseImaku [2012-02-05 16:07:17 +0000 UTC]

Yes thank you! *shiny shiny~~*
Maybe that's why I chose painting semi-realism, I just love how detailed I have to work~<3
