Description
I was asked about how I draw my eyes~So I didn't really make a "tutorial" but rather just: a couple pieces of information that dictate how I go about drawing eyes. Because showing a step by step wouldn't help anyone, since I do all the form-constructing in my head, plus have the shape of the curves engraved into my instinct by now.
So it technically would be: draw circle -> do squiggly lines surrounding it until it looks like eye
Btw, the reason why I included screenshots from the anime Bakemonogatari as reference, is because it's thanks to that show's art style that I realized a couple years ago you could stylize eyes in such a simple but goodlooking way (using varying thickness of countours surrounding iris and pupil,, plus indicating the cone-shape by not placing the pupil in the center )
Bonus: data.whicdn.com/images/2026633β¦
The thing with the highlight I actually just learned recently, and I was immediately baffled by how much of a difference it made,, but hightlights being the area on the shape closest to the lightsoucre / where the light hits most directly ((something like that)) - it makes sense that it would look better once it's not just randomly placed
But really, it all just comes down to understanding the shapes :I I have no idea wether or not this is helpful in any way???

The fantastic volumes of the eyelids cupping the eyeballs is satisfying for me.

Thanks for this! Could you also do a tutorial about how you do paws?

I never even knew about the whole "highlight being inverted" thing
Normally I'm so observant regarding eyes, so its sort of surprising to realize there's something I never really saw??
why does that happen? like, whats the anatomy of the iris that does it?
Is it because the iris is actually a dip into the pupil? therefore there's a "valley" of sorts that doesn't get the light but the other side does?

Hmm the dip/valley might be more an illusion seeing as the iris has a small raised transparent "hill" (the cornea) while the iris comparitavely is simply flatter

but since you usually don't have the right angle to draw something like this:

it's easier to replicate the effect by imagining the iris being in the middle of a dipped cone-shape. And because the cornea is still a round hill, the highlight will be where the light hits directly onto the shape.
It might not be 100% correct, but seeing as the pupil is situated deeper than the iris in any case, is will still give off a feeling of looking right

Neat. I like seeing how different artists draw such a commonlyΒ hated object.Β

Those are some really helpful tips! I never realized that the highlight actually goes over of the cast shadow... thank you for this!

I sadly have completely forgotten where I actually picked up on that bit of information,, it's just such a small detail, and yet the impact it has on the whole look is so notable :'00

Ooh the light dot trick is neat, never thought about it o.o
I agree, most step by steps of eyes are often useless when they just show how to punch different color layers on the eye...
I got a ton of problems with eyes, mostly the lids, I never manage to give the eye volume, especially in corporation with eyebrows, nose and cheek.
You got advice on learning shaping and form-constructing stuff? I think it's one of my biggest problems with art in general... or is it just drawing it over and over and with a bit of luck you get it somewhen?

I recommend studying portrait photos, and actually breaking down the face into it's shapes,, it certainly helped me a ton :'0 or just simply lots and lots of observation
Studies: faces 1
Studies: faces 2
Keep in mind things like bone structure and facemuscles
But I have no idea what advice to give to learn how to understand. Sometimes it's the most random thing that can give you that "click" sensation; where suddenly things simply make sense,, so I guess just be on lookout for random information that might be helpful?? (there are so many different methods to construct a face)
