How to Draw ... an Eye

Expressive eyes are the key feature in drawing people. Eyes are the windows to the soul, so goes the old saying, and it's especially true in illustration.

First, draw a rough oval in the general shape of the eye, then draw in a circle with part of the top reaching above the top curve, adjusting the position to indicate the direction the subject is looking (in this case, straight ahead).

Next, draw a curve for the eyelid, using the top of the circle as a rough guide. Erase the guideline

.Deciding on an eye color, fill in the iris with a light version of the color, and draw a line of dark color across the top of the iris - this gives the eye the illusion of depth and 3-dimensionality. Then fill in the pupil with a very dark color or black before adding light-reflections as highlights. I find that it gives more realism if the light reflections go across the pupil and the iris.

Finally, add eyelashes, and sharpen up details. I have given two samples here as there are a wide variety of techniques, which make a big impact on the final mood of the illustration.
