Description

As requests from here is a little process I use to sketch my basic eyes. Please note that this isn't in detail since this is just the basic version. I'll probably do a full-blown thing later on. This is so broken down just for simplicity's sake aha. I hope it helps anyone^^

Anyway. 

Step 1: Draw a weird egg-shaped thing. It doesn't have to be perfect. If you want to draw like I do (lolandidkwhyyouwouldhahaha) learn to just not care pfft. Sketchiness is the epitome of my style I guess I don't even know. Imperfection is beauty. 
Step 2: EYELASHES! Common mistake: Putting too many eyelashes. Don't go crazy omg. Just add in like.. 9 or 10 and space them out.
Step 3: To avoid the lazy-eye look (which happens when drawing two eyes going opposite direction) add in little dots to map out the direction you want your eyes to look.
Step 4: Draw a circle with EQUAL DISTANCE around the dot. Make the dot bigger too just cuz it's less creepy.
Step 5: Draw these little half-circle things. It makes more sense later.
Step 6: Fill in the UPPER half of the eye using those little lines you drew in step 5 as a guide.
Step 7: To blend in that shaded portion to the white, sketch in little lines around the edges of that shaded portion. Makes it look better I promise. 
Step 8: Irises have weird line things that form a circle around the pupil. Draw them. And if you want, erase a portion of the eye and outline it to create an eye-shine-thing.

And yeah.

If, for some reason, anyone other than Ceci uses this, I would love love love to see your works. Just because I'm curious. Link it here yeah? c:

I hope I helped even if it's just a little bit^^

If you want me to create more tutorials mind giving me some suggestions?
Head over to this journal right here.

Tutorials?I know I might not be qualified to even make tutorials but I mean. I've been rather bored lately and don't have anything to draw right now uwaaa. I'm doing those free sketch things for the chosen ones as we speak pfft.
Soooooo. Is there anything you guys want to learn how to do? I mean, I may not be doing it correctly, but if you guys want to risk that, I can try to teach you some of my techniques? xD If you provide a link to one of my works, it would be really great too so I know what you're talking about aha!
The thing I won't do though is teach you how to draw in my style lol. Since I want you guys to form your own individual styles instead of copying off of someone else o.o (Like my style isn't even original anyway lol. So don't follow my footsteps)
They'll just be quick little things. Don't expect a full-blown epic tutorial though. I would make a poll about it, but I wanted to write more lol. 
So anyway yeah. 
Also. Holy cow. When did I get this many watchers?! o.o

THANK YOU!

Omg, stupid stupid stupid faces!
I HATE FACES :/
True story-practising hands, I'm better than faces... Lulwut?!

This makes it much easier ^^ I can never get things to look right :T I make them look like Bratz dolls or something XD It's also hard when I draw small scale :T Difficult to put detail in.

Thanks again for putting this up luffie TuT

lol i love faces xD if i could just draw faces, i'd be so happy omg.

bratz dolls. don't want that ahaha!

and you're so welcome <3

Eonlie In reply to seyuri [2013-06-29 01:40:14 +0000 UTC]

UGH! Tell you what, you draw my faces, I'll draw...
Um...
ugly ass bodies and clothing B)

*lol* I don't get it, I'm not SO bad with clothes. I mean, okay, they're not exactly good, given I'm still learning, but what I can manage is usually so much easier to understand than faces :T
It's easy to figure out where clothing goes. Where the heck do eyes go? And where the heck do you put the shading, and how much? Faces seem to have no room for error :T

seyuri In reply to Eonlie [2013-06-29 01:45:30 +0000 UTC]

idk with the eye placing lol. i just sort of wing that o.o
but the LIGHT SOURCES. omg.
shading and light sources. i used to suck ass at those. (and there are tons times when i still can't figure them out)
but i guess, as you practice, you begin to learn where the shadows are in an object. where the wrinkles go and such.
i think it helps if you draw a little sun where you want to the lightsource to come from and go from there.

lol yeah. the face is kinda an important part. since that's what people look at first generally in a picture ;-;
