How To Draw A Realistic Eye With Video Guide

Draw 3 circles.

Step 2

Lightly sketch the top lid.
Now draw the lower lid.
Now draw a curved line above the top lid.
Now fix things up a bit and add the tear duct on the left side of the eye.
Put some shadow into the tear duct by hatching a few lines. Darken in the pupil (the inner circle) and darken the outline of the circle that surrounds it.
Now draw lines in the iris (the area around the dark circle (pupil). They are sort of like spirograph lines … like just making twisty lines. Hatch some lines for shadows under the top lid.
Now draw the lashes as I did above.
Now use a really good eraser to erase 2 highlights in the pupil / iris. If you did this with marker or pen or paint, then get some white paint and paint in the highlight.
