Anatomy Quick Tips: Eyes

A not-so-quick guide for various aspects of drawing the human eye from imagination. This is the most important feature of the face, and if you want to draw appealing character faces, you should spend the bulk of your time on eyes.

Let me know what part of the human anatomy you would like to see more information on drawing! Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

My understanding of this tutorial:

Circles are boring,
Edges are cooler

25:03 the amount of time that you must've spent on that for a millisecond joke. RESPECT

(note for self)
11:52
acrylic dry brush (for most of the painting and blending)
thick and thin pen (for lines and details)
soft round airbrush (for smoothing and subtle shifts of color and value)

Speaking of eye reflectivity: My family has extremely dark brown eyes, and when i was seven(ish) i remember looking at my mom's face and saying "I can see myself in you!". I've never really seen someone paint eye reflections this way before, it's really interesting!

Half way through the video I realized how important eye lumps were and it hit me like a truck. Definitely gonna have to rewatch this when it isn't "some god awful midnight hour"

as someone who absolutely cannot apply things to my art unless i’m given an explanation to exactly HOW and WHY it is that way, this video was really helpful. never been a fan of tutorials or videos who just give one example and say ‘Okay, this is the right way to do it!’ with no further nuance so loved this vid and all the vids on your channel. been a silent follower for years but since i struggle so greatly with eyes this one in particular saved me lolol

22:50 that kinda reminds me of a woman i met when i was a kid, me and my friends called her "beautiful eyes lady", and her name was "linda" that means beautiful in portuguese. She had the most crazy eyes we had ever seen, it was really clear the green, blue and yellow on it, even more visible than the painting. She said even she didn't know exactly what her eye color was, but we called it "brazilian color", cuz it had all the colors in our flag. Now i kinda want to draw it, if i can remember.

Nah cause you're genuinely such an inclusive guy. I'm currently on a binge on your quick draws and I love the inclusive of different eye shapes, colours, different skin types and colours. I really love your choice of wording and way of drawing. As an asian person, I really really thank you!

Anybody else get a little bit creeped out about the eye blink at the end😂😂😂😂

[stanmanmedia]

I've been oil painting for over a decade, and your videos are just unbelievable. My mind works like yours, at about 10% your sharpness.. haha.. but I understand what you're doing and it's a tremendous help!!!

[borko]

TEMPORARY NOTICE!! I will be at Anime Expo 2018 next week in LA. If you're attending, come say hi in the Exhibit Hall booth 1630! I'll be hanging out next to RossDraws and TheJettyJetShow. :3

The eye-lump tip was THE most helpful tip for drawing eyes in perspective I've ever gotten! Thank you so much! :D

[AllegoricSiren]

I liked the blinky blink they did at the end

[giannieditsvideos]

This series is actually sooo helpful. Just having watched it once, without even trying to practically follow along, I noticed big improvements in my anatomy - can't wait to see the progress some thorough practice combined with your tips will bring me

What did one eye say to the other eye?

Between you and me...

Something smells.

Over the years I've swallowed more tutorials and art specific content than I'd like to admit. I'd just like you to know you are a master, not only in technical or skill in art in general but also in producing art friendly videos. I do hope you never get exhausted and finally, get all the major rewards in life you deserve. Impressed, inspired and humble is the least I can say...

Running through these lessons and drawing all of your examples, and you are a wizard with the concise/punchy explanations. Every bit of information seems like it contributes to my understanding of the topic as I work through (even the goofy bits help center the approach). Honestly, painting better than I ever have with your tips and tricks so far. Minds blown! Can't wait to do the rest! Thank you so much for your time and effort on all of your videos.
