A nice touch of humour to illustrate clearly most problems beginners have with facial depictions. Entertaining + efficient +Β useful.
You're a master! Thanks a lot for sharing your experience to beginners and amateurs!

This is my favorite eye tutorial so far... It's from a fairly experienced artist who knows what they're doing. The tutorial is easy to the eyes and not too complicated or broad.

Very helpful, although I will say that these are just stylistic choices and theories, only you kind of address them like "do this, not this". It is very possible to have those shapes of eyes and lips, and very possible to make them look good.Β
There's a lot of stuff in here though that I never thought about before, so thanks for the help!

... eyes are not in fact rectangles though
they are spheres
SPHERES t( q _ q t
π: 0 β©: 1
Not when you see them from outside the eyelids.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well but you know, eyelids are things that WRAP around the spheres that are eyeballs. ... How exactly does that make rectangles?
- I'm not saying drawing eyes as rectangles is wrong by the way, but it's stylized. And... if people actually want to learn to draw... then learning from something that already is stylized is not going to help much.

Look at the example they gave. It's almost like a lopsided rectangle-rhombus with rounded edges, but it still looks like an eye. Eyes certainly don't look like spheres when you look at them or draw them, unless your style is cartoony. This is showing how to draw eyes as you see them on a person. They weren't saying that the eyeballs themselves are rectangles inside your head.

It's... way easier to draw eyes when you actually do know how they work inside your head though, in reality, and style them afterwards - instead of learning something that already has been styled by someone else. The example they gave, you will have noticed, is not the photograph of an actual eye, it's a drawn manga-ish style eye.

I'm not even saying the tutorial is bad, but it's somewhat misleading to the beginner that actually does want to pursue drawing as something serious. But then, most tutorials on here are...
π: 0 β©: 1
Usually I agree that a lot of tutorials are pretty bad or misleading on this site, but it's not a tutorial. It's a basic "stylized eye" drawing tip. And the eye looks pretty much like an eye. Saying "This shape is more helpful than just drawing a football" isn't a bad tip, saying "Shading and gradients make an eye look less creepy" isn't really misleading. I feel like you're making an argument that would usually be valid, but choosing the wrong picture to argue about.

... okay
Seen from that angle, I guess that's a fair point.

thank you so much for making this tutorial! I'm curently working on digital painting and hopes to get better one day!
May i ask a quick question? i was wondering how you blend your colors, I'm messing with the opacity but it just doesn't look right. I just cant find the right brush for it or setting! its okay if you cant respond to that, i know how it can be hard to answer questions via text only!
Thanks again!

sai does it normally with the brush tool, in photoshop you have to use the mixer brush tool that can be found in photoshop 4 and up

Haha, if I drew this I would make a disclaimer:
Don't be afraid to draw things how they look in real life and not prettified, it's really useful
Making things look pretty isn't always the purpose of stylisation, caricature and other cool stuff can happen too β you can use stylisation to emphasise anything you like, from personality to an Aesop.
This tutorial focuses a lot on anime, there are many other styles and ways of doing things that can create interesting representations of the mouth and nose that are very different. In some styles, the nose is even emphasized (gasp). ;D Styles come from our interpretation of what we see in real life, what we choose to keep and what we choose to lose can be very different.
