How to draw a realistic eye with a pencil step by step

• Step 1

  1. Sketch hard pencil line drawing:
  2. Look where the darkest areas should be (and darken them):

• Step 2

  3. Look again where the darkest areas of the iris should be:
  4. Carefully examine the eye and begin to work out the shape with shadows, trying to create depth:

  
  
• Step 3

  5. Shade the iris:
  6. Repeat shading several times:

  
  
• Step 4

  7. Using a nag (sculpting a sharp tip), try to rub a few light lines so that the iris does not look “empty”:
  8. Work with the nag a little more until you are satisfied with the result:

  
  
• Step 5

  9. The white of the eye is not so white, try to sketch out the light and shadow, highlighting the shape:
  10. Blend using tortillon:

  
  
• Step 6

  11. Since final stage looks too dark, use a highlighter to brighten it:
  12. Let's start with the upper eyelid, drawing the darkest area:

  
  
• Step 7

  13. Basically, drawing an eye is a matter of realistic light and shadow:
  14. Use a paper towel to blend the eyelid. It still looks a little flat, but we'll draw in the eyelashes before adding highlights to the eyelids:

  
  
• Step 8

  15. Before drawing eyelashes, decide where they grow from:
  16. Try drawing your upper eyelashes as curved as bows. And remember - they are different lengths:

  
  
• Step 9

  17. Start working on your lower lashes. For now they may not be too realistic:
  18. Using light strokes, we begin to work on the area between the eye and eyebrow:

  
  
• Step 10

  19. Use a paper towel to blend:
  20. Repeat the shading process several times and don't be afraid to shade:

  
  
• Step 11

  21. Starting to work on the eyebrow, mark the most noticeable lines:
  22. Darken the areas that you consider necessary and lightly blend. When shading, try different tools and choose the ones that suit you best:

  
  
• Step 12

  23. At this stage, I begin to darken (and shade) everything that seems “flat” and “empty”:
  24. We begin to work with the lower eyelid:

  
  
• Step 13

  25. Work out and shade the most noticeable lines and areas:
  26. You can add a little "realism" by drawing some wrinkles with pencil lines on top of the shading:

  
  
• Step 14

  27. Repeat the last step several times. I added shadows where the nose is supposed to be:

How to draw a realistic girl's eye

• Step 1

  Sketch the outline.

  
• Step 2

  Take a soft brush and dip it into graphite powder (you can get it by sharpening a 5H pencil). Then we will cover our sketch with two or three layers of tone. The brush should gently shade and smooth the image. Try to avoid getting tones in the highlights on the iris. If graphite still gets on the highlight, clean this area with an eraser (knead).

  
• Step 3

  Repeat the previous step using a smaller brush. Start shaping the outline of the eye by shading the areas that you want to be darker.

  
• Step 4

  Using a nag, clean the areas that should be light.

  
• Step 5

  Use a 2B pencil to outline the darkest areas, such as the pupil, to darken top part iris and crease of the upper eyelid.

  
• Step 6

  Use light pressure to draw the iris around the pupil (5H pencil).

  
• Step 7

  Darken the iris using a 2B pencil.

  
• Step 8

  Use a knead to work on the iris to soften the contrast. Add graphite as needed to create the desired tone. Let's move on to the white of the eye (pencil 2B). Draw eye shadow on the squirrel.

  
• Step 9

  Now let's start working on the skin. We use an HB pencil. Use light circular motions to add color to the upper eyelid and under the brow bone. Start with the areas that you want to be darker (in this case, the skin near the crease of the upper eyelid) and work your way to the lighter areas. Use a paper napkin and a brush to smooth out any rough spots or spots.

  
• Step 10

  Add skin tones in the lower eyelid area.

  
• Step 11

  For now we continue to work with the HB pencil. Add shadows to the skin. Use 5H and 2B pencils to show the thickness of the lower eyelid and darken it.

  
• Step 12

  Use an HB pencil. To show wrinkles, draw thin lines on the skin and then use a knob to create light lines next to the dark ones. Blend the paper using a brush to soften the lines. We use the same method on the highlight in the corner of the eye (Third eyelid). Draw an eyebrow. When drawing eyebrows, you need to keep the pencil sharp.

  
• Step 13

  Draw eyelashes (pencil 2B). First, let's show the eyelashes on the outer edge of the upper eyelid. Start drawing from the root of each hair. Follow the direction of hair growth and lighten the pressure on the pencil so that each hair is thicker at the root and pointed towards the end. Show the reflection of the eyelashes on the highlight of the iris.

  
• Step 14

  Now let's show the eyelashes on the outer edge of the lower eyelid. Note that the eyebrow and eyelashes located on the outer edge of the lower eyelid should be lighter than the eyelashes on the upper eyelid.

  
• Step 15

  The work is ready.

How to simply draw women's eyes step by step

• Step 1

  First, outline the boundaries of the future drawing. This will make the further drawing process much easier.

  
  
• Step 2

  Use two ovals to indicate the location of the eyes.

  
  
• Step 3

  How to draw eyes depends on your personal preference. Therefore, use light lines to outline the cut you like.

  
  
• Step 4

  Now move on to the rest of the details. Mark the contours of the bridge of the nose.

  
  
• Step 5

  Important role in how to draw eyes, the image of the direction of gaze plays a role. Therefore, designate the irises so that the expression of the eyes is meaningful.

  
  
• Step 6

  Then draw the pupils. Their size depends on the lighting: what brighter light, the more they narrow.

  
  
• Step 7

  The eyeball has a round shape, which is why it is visible above the eye shape.

  
  
• Step 8

  The role of eyebrows should also not be underestimated. Draw them and give the look expressiveness/audience/joy or something else.

  
  
• Step 9

  More soft pencil correct the resulting irregularities, paint over the pupils.

  
  
• Step 10

  Draw beautiful, thick eyelashes if the eyes belong to a woman. If you are drawing male eyes, you can skip this step.

  
  
• Step 11

  Now draw the lower eyelashes.

  
  
• Step 12

  Draw the eyebrows more specifically, clarify the shape of the irises.

  
  
• Step 13

  You can shade the area of ​​the upper eyelid with a hard, soft pencil.

  
  
• Step 14

Let's be honest, drawing a face is not that easy, especially if you have no experience! This is not the same as painting landscapes, where it doesn’t matter whether the tree is moved sideways an inch or whether it has changed its shape. When you draw realistic face, everything must be in its place, otherwise it will turn out ridiculous. And not only that, each part of the face has its own unique anatomy, which must be taken into account - at least as a basis on which something can then be built!

In this tutorial I will show you how to draw eyes. I hope that this lesson will be useful not only for beginners, but also for those who have been in the field of drawing for a long time, but will be glad to learn something new and develop their skills even more - or perhaps just try something new .

INTRODUCTION

They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and without a doubt they are the most expressive part of the face. I've heard that if you get the eyes right, you're halfway to a good portrait, and that's true to some extent. The eyes are also often the element of the face that makes a portrait appear lifeless, and this usually happens when the artist does not fully consider their anatomy.

So, before we start drawing realistic eyes, let's look at a line drawing that shows what an eye looks like in reality. Of course there are eyes different shapes and sizes, but general shape will always be unchanged. The eyeball is called that for a reason - it has a spherical shape, and its lines are visible even when we do not see the entire eyeball. If you look from the side, this becomes even more obvious. Next, in the inner corner of the eye there is a tear duct, and, of course, the upper and lower eyelids. Omission of any of these details leads to an inadequate result!

To achieve a more complete picture, I will show you how to draw an eye in two perspectives - a front view and a ¾ turn, because... these two perspectives are most often found in portraits.

SO, LET'S BEGIN!

On the day of the beginning, open a new file and select a skin color to fill the background - something in between, not too bright and not too dark. Add a new layer and sketch out the eye, not forgetting all the little things that were mentioned above. Our light source will be located on the right, so we can add its reflection to the sketch now.

First of all, let's shape the surrounding area of ​​the eye. You can draw directly on the background or (as the most convenient option when creating realistic portrait) just add a new layer below the sketch layer and draw on it. Take a standard round brush with Opacity set to Pen Pressure and select an orange-brown for the shadows and a yellow-beige for the highlights so you can start shading. Brush along the natural curves of the eye sockets and eyelids.

Continuing to work with the round brush, we paint in shadows and highlights, and also add a little gray-violet for color variation, even if the color is not particularly noticeable. To smooth out the brush lines a bit, I usually use the Smudge tool in Finger Painting mode, the brush tip in Scatter mode, and Opacity in Pen Pressure mode. Experiment with the settings; These parameters are my personal choice, but perhaps completely different ones will suit you!

To get more clear picture How the eye will look, let's paint over the white of the eye. The most common mistake here is to choose purely white for protein. Remember, we must take into account the round shape of the eyeball as well as the reflections of the light source. Use a grayish tint - it the best way fits here - the degree of its lightness will depend on the overall illumination of the picture. Incorporating a bit of skin tone (or light tint if it's bright enough) into the white of the eye can make it look more realistic. And as for the tear duct, you can use a beige-pink shade as its basis.

Now let's color the iris. I choose a color that goes from a medium to dark blue and then add a light layer of light on top of that base. This already gives a feeling of depth. Next we add the pupil. Please note that on the ¾ spread the pupil is no longer round, but slightly oval in shape; it comes from a change in perspective. Don't forget the small bright dot to illustrate the highlight from the reflected light, because this will help you refine the iris in more detail later!

We have almost got quite realistic eyes, even though the drawing is still crude and lacks many details. However, for now we will work on the basic shape of the eye and give it volume. Taking a round brush, I select a fairly rich orange-brown color for deep shadow between the upper eyelid and brow bone. I also use this shade to add a little shadow on my upper lid and a little on the inner corner of my lower lid. The tear duct takes on a beautiful rich orange hue, which is also lightly applied to the outer corner of the eye. To enhance the highlights on the eyelids, you can equally use both light beige and gray-green shades. We also once again draw the shadows on the eyeball itself.

From this point on, everything depends on further processing and adding details. We work with the same round brush, varying (manually) its Opacity and size. I always have the feeling that I am carving a figure out of stone like a sculptor, and not just painting like an artist; By adding shadows and highlights, I seem to revive the figure, and it becomes voluminous and realistic. This is exactly what we will do: deepen and draw the shadows. Adding a soft but noticeable shadow to the edge of the upper eyelid helps achieve the lash effect, and softens the edges where the eyeball disappears under the eyelid. The color of the iris is played up with pale green, and where the shadow of the eyelid falls on it, we add a very juicy turquoise.

Staying on the iris, take a small brush - either a round or dotted one - and you can begin to apply the pattern of lines. These lines are present on all eyes, but sometimes this pattern can be so dark that it is almost invisible. However, the iris always has lines running from the pupil to the outer edges of the iris itself. In this case, we want them to be noticeable and rich. Let's choose pale green and turquoise colors for this purpose, but use both light and dark shades the same or similar tone. From time to time, step away from the drawing and take a closer look at it, so you can notice some shortcomings that need to be worked on. Here I added a little more highlight on the outside of the eyebrow, on the edge of the lower eyelid and around the tear duct. Then you can move on to the eyebrows.

Using the Smudge tool with a fine brush tip, we carefully draw the iris. Please note that you need to move from the pupil to the edges of the iris: we don’t want all the lines to blur! After that, we select a very bright - but almost desaturated - pale green color and go over the iris where the light falls on it: on the right side, and a little in the lower left corner, where there is a small glare from the light. To emphasize the line of the eyeball, we take a white-blue color and draw the main highlight on the eye. Now I draw it in the form of an arch, crossing the border of the iris and getting a little onto the white. This will give the surface of the eye a dewy shine.

Using a small round brush with Opacity and Size Jitter set to Pen pressure, you can now draw the eyebrow. Choose a nice dark brown color and another regular brown. Lightly go over the eyebrows with the Smudge tool. Take the color of the skin surrounding your brow and use it to break up any excess hair thickness. Highlight the skin around you by adding some highlights, especially with outside, where the light will fall directly. After this, you can move on to the eyelashes. Let's add a new layer so as not to spoil the overall picture of the eye. Select a small round brush with Opacity and Size set to Pen Pressure and start light movements apply eyelashes. If they are not painted over with mascara or curled with a special device, they practically do not bend upward!

You can continue adding more eyelashes on the same layer, or you can create a new one to make them thicker. You can also make a duplicate of the layer with already drawn eyelashes and move it a little to the right or left, then reduce the Opacity a little, remove unnecessary elements and go over them with the Smudge tool. If you are happy with the result, we slightly blur the eyelashes in some places. Add a few small highlights between the eyelashes on the lower eyelid and get a beautiful glitter effect.

The last stage of each drawing is to add those very small parts, which make the drawing “come to life”, making it more realistic, even despite the rather obvious hand-drawn quality. Using separate layers for these details will only help you, because then you can edit and experiment with effects without damaging the drawing itself. But before we start detailing, let's work on the iris a little more. Take your darkest turquoise color and draw a circle around the pupil with lines extending from the center outwards - some more prominent and longer, some slightly less visible and shorter. This will add green to the eyes and give them shine. Now we'll add some more highlights to the squirrel using a standard spot brush, then blurring them out with the Smudge tool. Taking a smaller dotted brush with an Angle Jitter of 50%, we will go over the eyebrows, eyelids and corner of the eye with a bright white-yellow color. All this is done on a separate layer! Slightly smudge the too noticeable points, some of them may need to be removed with an Eraser to facilitate better blending with the surrounding area of ​​​​the skin. Now duplicate this layer and set the layer blending mode to Overlay (Overlay), then move this layer slightly and you will get a beautiful imitation of skin texture.

Now all you have to do is look at your drawing last time, you might want to add a few more strokes to the lower eyelid or the corner of the eye, or adjust the highlights or shadows - that's it! Ready!

Good afternoon. Today we will tell you how to draw eyes with a pencil. Almost always, when you start a new business, you immediately imagine how you will do it and what the end result will be. But sometimes there are things that you don’t even want to take on, because you simply cannot understand where to start and how to continue. Some kind of stupor!

I'll tell you the backstory. Our site is run by 2 people: me and my sister, you can read more about us here. So, all the drawings presented on this site are made by my sister, and I just post them online. Those. no art education I don’t have the skills either; in a nutshell, I CAN’T DRAW. And when my sister showed me this drawing, I just gasped!! “How can our readers draw this? It's difficult". But after sitting on it for literally 20-30 minutes, I figured it all out and drew something more or less similar to what is described in our lesson. And on the second try I got almost the original!

Is this all I'm talking about? And to the fact that nothing is impossible. Any business can be accomplished in no time, the main thing is to start... and finish :) Especially when there is detailed instructions for use! Forward! It's beautiful to draw beautiful eyes!

The hardest part about drawing a realistic eye is:

Compliance with all proportions;

Drawing a realistic pupil of the eye;

Drawing eyelashes.

In this article we will teach you how to draw all these difficult moments.

Drawing realistic eyes- the task is not easy. At the same time, we have to draw eyes quite often. We start drawing the eye with a pencil from the main lines (they should be thin, as we will erase them later). Look carefully at the image; when redrawing, observe all proportions, as this is very important. Our eye looks a little upward. Once you understand the basic principles, you will be able to draw the eye the way you need.

We outline the pupil along the contour with a pencil (darken the contour) - we do this with a transition. The pupil is the darkest place, and closer to the outside it becomes lighter and lighter. A very soft pencil is best for these purposes.

Now let's draw the inside of the large circle. It is very important that the stripes and spots are arranged in a circle. Look at the picture below and try to repeat all the lines and spots exactly as in the picture.

Next, we darken and shade the entire surface of the large circle - try to achieve the maximum realistic effect. Notice that some areas of the eyeball are darker and others are lighter. This effect needs to be reflected in your drawing.

Completely fill in the pupil with a pencil and remove the auxiliary circular lines.

Let's shade some parts of the eye to add volume.

Draw the lower eyelashes. Do it exactly as in our picture. The eyelash line does not have to be perfectly straight. Eyelashes begin to grow under the bottom auxiliary line, and not on her. If you are drawing an eye for the first time, it is best to repeat each eyelash. In the future, you will be able to draw eyelashes without visual cues.

Draw the upper eyelashes. Do it exactly as in our picture. The eyelash line does not have to be perfectly straight. The eyelashes begin to grow above the top guide line, rather than on it. Eyelashes are quite difficult to draw. Each eyelash is drawn separately - they will take a lot of time, but it is the well and believably drawn eyelashes that make drawing an eye with a pencil as effective as possible. For the best effect, sharpen the pencil and in this case preference should be given to a soft pencil.

We remove all the remaining hint lines so that the eye looks realistic. You should get something like this:

Now we will look at a drawing lesson of one of the most important details. Eyes are a reflection of the soul. They are able to convey information non-verbally about a person, his mood, desires, thoughts. Let's start exploring

How to draw an eye with a pencil step by step

STEP 1. At the first stage we need to draw the shape of the eye. Although this is the first stage of the picture, it requires a lot of attention. After all, if the shape of the eye is not the same as you want, then the whole drawing will not look very pretty.
