And also, it is advisable to first study another lesson -.
We look at the structure of the eye in the picture below.
Eyelashes should be thick at the root and thin at the tips.
How not to draw eyelashes, see below.
Draw the outline of the eye with light lines. Then draw eyelashes with a 2H pencil. Each eyelash looks like a comma, only upside down. Draw from the contour of the eye while reducing the pressure on the pencil by bending the line, the line will become thinner. With a light movement of the brush, tear off the pencil from the paper when you finish drawing the eyelash.
With a 2B pencil, draw more eyelashes so that they are thick. draw the outline of the iris, pupil and highlight.
Draw the pupil with a 6B pencil. With a 2B pencil, draw the iris of the eye. For this we use . Please note that the top of the eye area is darker than the bottom, the sides are also darkened. Eraser to create a light area on the bottom, then draw a few lines to create texture.
Using crosshatching create gradient transitions on the white of the eye, while the edges and up of the white should be darkened. Hatch the edges of the upper and lower eyelids, closer to the outer corner of the eye, the tone transition becomes darker. Draw some thin lines to create the blood vessels.
Some people think that transferring an image to a piece of paper is higher art which is inaccessible to the general public. Knowing the little tricks of skilled artists, everyone will know how to draw eyes with a pencil. The human visual organ consists of the eyeball, upper and lower eyelids. The eye is drawn in the form of an elongated ellipse, with slight bends in the form of a drop near the nose.
The drawing technique is to create additional lines on the basis of which each part of the organ will be drawn. First you need to draw 3 concentric circles. The first one should have a radius that is 3 times the radius of the middle circle.
The small circle is the pupil, the second is the iris, and the third will limit the eyelid and eyebrow line. We draw a line of the upper and lower eyelids in the form of an elongated ellipse. The upper part should slightly cover the moving part of the eye. Just below the top great circle draw a line of the overhanging edge of the eyelid.
Let's draw some lines a little.
Draw a parallel line of the lower eyelid, on which the eyelashes grow. Select the pupil with black, leaving a highlight near it. Decorate the iris: draw lines of different lengths in the middle of the eye, shade them.
The turn of the century zone has come. Shade each line with light strokes.
Draw a row of eyelashes on upper eyelid.
We do the same with the bottom.
It remains to draw the eyebrow. It should start at the level of the nose and make a slight bend a little further than half of the eye. At the beginning of the line, several hairs are depicted, shade the area, carefully separating the hairs in some places.
The eyes are not only the most expressive part of the face, but also an amazing mirror of the human soul.
Most often, a person can be recognized precisely by the eyes. And in order to do this from a portrait, you need to know how to draw eyes. Beginning artists often make mistakes when drawing eyes. can draw realistic eyes or depict them. Various artists offer various options About, how to draw eyes with a pencil. However, they all follow a certain sequence.
Eye location
First of all, you must correctly position your eyes on a piece of paper. To do this, draw horizontal line across the sheet.
Do not press hard on the tool, because it will be an auxiliary line that will need to be removed later. Following the line, draw an almond-shaped eye so that on one side the lines taper downwards.
distance between eyes
It is important to remember about the distance between the eyes. It is generally accepted that it is equal to one more eye. Therefore, you can measure or draw an auxiliary eye in the middle with a light line, position the second eye, and then delete the auxiliary eye with an eraser.
Eyeball
The next step is the eyeball.
First, delete the horizontal guide line that you drew at the very beginning. Draw a circle inside the eye shapes. Remember that the diameter of the eyeball should be equal to the width of the eye. But you need to arrange it in such a way that there is a small space left next to the lower eyelid, and the top of the circle slightly extends beyond the upper eyelid.
tear ducts
No realistic eye is complete without tear ducts.
Therefore, you also need to depict them by drawing a line in the place where the eyes approach the bridge of the nose.
Eyelid borders
In order to make the eyes more natural, you need to draw the borders of the eyelids, that is, show their thickness.
This applies to the lower eyelid, so you will need to draw on it. Draw a border from the tear duct along the lower eyelid to the outer corner of the eye. Your line should pass under the eyeball, but not touch it.
Pupil
Let's draw a smaller circle, which we will position inside the previously drawn eyeball.
It will serve as a border separating the iris and the darkest part of the eye, the black pupil. Also, don't forget to draw the arch of the upper eyelid, which should go around the upper border of the previously drawn eyeball, but not touch it.
Erase extra lines
In order for the eyes to look natural, you need to remove the upper part of the large circle that extends beyond the upper eyelid and almost touches its borders.
As a result, it turns out that the iris of the eye is slightly covered by the upper eyelid.
It's time to highlight the drawn eyes. To do this, make the upper eyelid more expressive by making its line bolder. The upper border of the eyelid is also worth highlighting, but not as much as the eyelid itself, which is in contact with the iris.
Iris
The iris of the eye also requires special attention.
Doesn't happen in nature identical eyes. Each pair of eyes has its own unique pattern. You also need to draw a drawing on the iris of the eyes you have drawn. Draw rays that come from the very depths of the soul, that is, from the black pupil, and tend to the edges of the iris, the upper part of which should be slightly darkened.
Glare
In any case, when we draw eyes, we must understand that they have a glossy surface, which means that they reflect the light that falls from one of the sides.
As a result, part of the iris seems to us lighter, and some part is generally white. In order to reflect this on paper, use the eraser and lightly touch the bottom of the iris, thus adding necessary highlight. The same must be done with the shadows around the eyes, the upper eyelid and the tear duct.
This is enough difficult lesson, so it may take a lot of effort for you to repeat it. If the first time it was not possible to draw eyes, do not despair and try again. Try your best to complete this lesson. If, however, it still doesn’t work out, you can try to complete the lesson “”. But I believe that you will succeed.
What you need
Please note that this technology lesson and it can be done either in pencil on paper or in a graphic program.
In order to draw eyes, we may need:
- Paper. It is better to take medium-grained special paper: it will be much more pleasant for novice artists to draw on this particular paper.
- Sharpened pencils. I advise you to take several degrees of hardness, each must be used for different purposes.
- Eraser.
- Stick for rubbing hatching. You can use plain paper rolled into a cone. She will rub the shading, turning it into a monotonous color.
- Graphic editor GIMP. You need to download GIMP for Win or Mac OS and install it.
- Download brushes for GIMP, they may come in handy.
- Some add-ons may be needed (instructions on how to install them).
- You need Photoshop software.
- A little patience.
- Good mood.
Step by step lesson
Different parts of the body and human organs should be drawn with a certain degree of realism. This is required academic drawing. Also, he strongly recommends drawing eyes from nature or, in extreme cases, from a photograph. This is the only way to achieve high realism and elaboration.
By the way, in addition to this lesson, I advise you to turn your attention to the lesson "". It will help improve your mastery or just give you a little pleasure.
All complex drawings must be created with forward thinking and vision. The subject should not only be a form on a sheet. You must draw it in volume, that is, creating from simple geometric bodies as if they are on top of each other: here is a ball on a cube, and here are two balls side by side. Of these primitive forms and consists of everything living and non-living on earth.
Tip: sketch with as light strokes as possible. The thicker the strokes of the sketch, the more difficult it will be to erase them later.
The first step, or rather zero, is always to mark a sheet of paper. This will give you an idea of where exactly the drawing will be. If you place the drawing on half of the sheet, you can use the other half for another drawing. Here is an example of a sheet layout in the center:
A person’s eyes are a mirror of his soul, and the site already has lessons on drawing eyes, but they are more focused on the practice of “take and repeat” and do not carry any theory, and there are a lot of theories, so I decided to translate and compose a couple of foreign lessons.
In addition to theory, there is also a practice that will help to fill your hand. You need to draw either with a pencil on paper, or with the help of graphics tablet. The mouse here, unfortunately, will not work.
First of all, you need to turn to eye plastanatomy - use the drawing and terminology above. It is important for an artist to understand a few elementary things about the human eye.
Firstly, the eye is based on. The eye is spherical. When drawing the eye, you need to take this into account, creating the desired volume when building.
Secondly, depending on various factors, such as the depth of the eye socket, the presence of fatty tissue in it, hypo- and hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, the eyeball can lie at different depths. That is, the eye can be bulging, “toad-like”, or it can be located deep in the orbital cavity, shading by the supraorbital margin. In addition, the more loose adipose tissue around the eyes, the less clearly the border of the eye will be read. And vice versa - thin man this boundary will be clearly defined.
Third. The eyelid is not a flat skin fold. On its ciliary edge, it has a cartilaginous base. Accordingly, when drawing the eye, the eyelids should not be depicted as having no volume.
Fourth and last. The cut line of the eyes, its position in all people is absolutely individual. Not always the inner corner of the eye is lower than the outer one. It can be quite the opposite, or the corners can be at the same level.
So, it's a start. To all of the above, we can add that the lacrimal glands always keep our eyes moist, shiny, alive. We must not forget to emphasize this when depicting a living person, and omit it when drawing sculptures.
Something like this. Let's continue. As already mentioned, the eye is a ball. Let's build on that and build it on a sheet.
Imagine our eye as an orange. The orange peel is the eyelids. If you cut the peel in the shape of an orange slice, you get an analogy of the structure of the eye. The peel is the thickness of the eyelids with their bend, and the fruit itself is the eyeball. Only there is one more detail - the cornea. The transparent membrane that contains the iris and pupil. Look at the picture above - a third of the cornea is under the upper eyelid. Therefore, the central part of the edge of the upper eyelid will protrude slightly forward. The lower eyelid barely touches the cornea, or does not touch it at all and remains at the same level.
Meanwhile, this is far from all, in the outline of the eye there is more a large number of features. Including - superciliary arches, protrusions, eyebrows, glabella, its shape. Every element needs attention. It is necessary to carefully monitor the relief of the eye, taking into account promising reductions.
Here again, we can not do without enumeration.
It is necessary to define and mark the line (lines) of the superciliary arches. Horizontally, it goes down, obliquely in the outer edge of the orbital cavity, while shifting back, leaving the boundary of the transition of the planes in the temporal part. It is necessary to remember and pay attention to the protrusions located on the glabella and in the eyebrow area. These protrusions also need to be outlined, because in the plasticity of the shape of the eye, in addition to the eye itself, the supraorbital and superciliary arches play an important role.
After marking the superciliary arches, you can try to determine the lines of the cut of the eyes. The bridge of the nose is located above the lacrimal tubercles, at the level of the upper eyelids or slightly higher, but not lower.
Starting the line of the cut of the eyes, be guided by the bridge of the nose, placing the teardrops on this line, while the corners of the eyes are located near it, or slightly above/slightly below the lacrimal tubercles.
After marking the shape of the eye, determine the fit of the eyeball and pupil. After determining the size and shape of the eyeball, you can depict the eyelids. The eyelid should fit the shape of the eyeball, while taking into account the thickness of the eyelids themselves and the nature of the bend. Remember - you need to show the thickness of the eyelid in perspective reduction
Fourth.
The nature of the cut of the eyes. Its shape, as well as the shape of other elements, strongly depends on the nationality and individual features person. And yet, the eyes have a common structure for all. See the picture above. When depicting the eye in a linear scheme, it can be seen that when viewed from the front, the eye looks like a parallelogram, in profile - the eye has a triangular shape, and in a three-quarter position - a rectangular trapezoid.
In a linear form, the wider the eye section, the more distally the corners of the eyes are located relative to each other, thereby expanding the eyelids. Picture above.
The teardrop is shaped like a head and plays important role in a plastic way. Its tip is not directed along the line of the cut of the eyes, but slightly down. At the same time, it forms a barely noticeable angle in the upper part, moving to the upper corner of the bend of the eyelids. The lower part of the lacrimal tubercle is directed almost horizontally, forming an even less noticeable angle, then gently curving upwards towards the outer corner of the eye.
Also note the difference in size. The upper half is noticeably larger than the lower one, because the upper eyelid has a larger curve than the lower one.
As a practice, I suggest you copy the two drawings above. They represent the eyes plaster head David. A simple, non-living form. Laconic and dry, which is easy to understand and simple enough to depict.
When drawing the eye, make sure that its surface is tilted relative to the vertical - the upper eyelid and the central part of the cornea protrude forward, while the lower edge of the cornea and the lower eyelid are deeper.
When drawing eyelids, the upper one should be highlighted, the lower one should be slightly outlined.
It is very useful for better assimilation of the structure and shape of the eye to draw with live nature. For example - looking in the mirror draw your own eyes. Try to start from the shape of the eyeball and cornea, and do not copy the visible surface.
From words to deeds. Try to copy following pictures. They will help you understand how to draw human eye.
Your hand needs to feel everything on its own. The eye turning in space tends to shrink. Accordingly, we can train following scheme: we represent schematically the eye. We choose a random point of view and try to draw what we get. That is, a prospective reduction.
That's all. When copying, try to make the eyes emotional, alive. When writing the whole head of a person, his portrait, you will have to convey the mood of the eyes, drawing them taking into account the environment, lighting. Many times the eyes will come out dead, blurry. Well, nothing - experience and experience again. Over time, you will be able to draw the eyes better.
Side view
Front. Despite the fact that the drawing is very drawn, it is convenient to copy it.
A softer version
So you learned how to draw eyes, I hope it was interesting and informative. Now you can pay attention to the lesson "" - it is just as interesting and exciting. Share the lesson in social networks and show your results to your friends.
How to draw eyes with a pencil? Each of us roughly imagines what the human eye looks like and can draw at least such a primitive image:
But, since you are puzzled by the question of how to draw an eye in stages, apparently you want to get more.
First, I advise you to go to the mirror and carefully examine your eyes. A simple study of an object always reveals a lot of new things. I remember school lesson drawing, on which we were given the task. I drew as best I could and brought it to the teacher for checking. And Natalya Maksimovna advised me to take a closer look at her eyes. “Pay attention,” she said, “we have eyelids and wrinkles under the eyes. They also need to be drawn. At that moment, it became a real discovery for me - it turns out that if you look at something with all your attention, and not just paint it from memory, the object will reveal its new facets to us. One has only to add a few details and the eye begins to look completely different. It becomes more alive, real.
In the next few years, until the very end of school, I painted a lot of self-portraits sitting in front of a mirror. And than more hand worked with a pencil, the better the result. Gradually, the drawing and the reflection in the mirror began to resemble each other, which was not initially observed at all. The longer I drew, the less doubt there was about choosing a profession. I definitely wanted to be.
In this lesson I want to show you how to draw realistic eyes, volume of eyeballs, pupil. If you understand the structure of the eye, then everything will become easier and more understandable.
At the heart of the eye is a ball, which is hidden in a special hole in the skull (eye socket). The ball cannot be lit evenly. Some part of it will be in the shade, some in the light, and between the light and the shadow is the territory of chiaroscuro. Accordingly, the protein in front of the eyes (the white field around the colored circle) will not be uniformly white. Below I will demonstrate this more clearly.
The iris of the eye, the one that happens to be green, blue, brown and in the rarest cases purple, is a rounded bulge that extends beyond the eyeball. Accordingly, it will be unevenly lit. In fact, the iris does not stick out of the ball so much, but I exaggerated for clarity.
On top of the eyes is the skin that covers most eyeball and forms folds - the upper and lower eyelids.
Would you like to learn how to draw a child's eyes? How are they different from the eyes of an adult? Look at the photo below. The iris in babies seems to be much larger in size than in an adult. In fact, children have a smaller incision in the eyes - a hole between the eyelids through which the eyeball is visible. Over time, when the child grows up, the incision will increase and the eyes will “grow up”. And, as a rule, the eyes of children are wide open. They look at the world with surprise and do not judge anyone. Toddlers are simply saturated with information about the place in which they live.
Gradually, under the influence of society, a person develops a character. "Mirror of the Soul" acquires its special features. Some people get laughing eyes, others are stern. In someone's eyes you drown like in the sea. They are bottomless and attractive. But there are eyes that you want to turn away from and never look into them again, because there is nothing there but emptiness or anger.
We will draw big beautiful eyes. How to draw eyes step by step?
Draw 2 parallel lines and divide them by 3 equal segment. Why 3? The distance between the eyes is equal to the length of one eye. It may be a little more or a little less.
In most people, the inner corner of the eye is slightly lower than the upper one. In other words, people's eyes are slightly slanted. This "slantness" is most pronounced among the peoples of Asia - the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Mongols ... However, it is also present among Europeans.
The inner corner of the eye is slightly narrowed. Here is the so-called lacrimal meat - a small area Pink colour. Everyone's eye shape is very different. I draw rather large eyes of a girl.
We mark the area that the lacrimal caruncle will occupy on the inner corners of the eyes. Then draw the iris in the form of a circle. As a rule, the iris is not completely visible. Partially it is hidden under the upper eyelid. If you want to draw frightened eyes that are filled with horror, do the opposite - hide part of the iris under the lower eyelid, and leave free space between the upper eyelid and the iris.
Now draw the pupil exactly in the center of the iris. The size of the pupil depends on the illumination. How brighter light, the smaller the pupil. In the dark, when a person peers somewhere, the pupil becomes 2 times larger. We draw the upper and lower eyelids. The shape and width of the eyelids are different for all people. In the elderly, the upper eyelid may become completely invisible due to the overhanging superciliary arches. The crease of the lower eyelid is not so noticeable, at least in young people. With age, all wrinkles become more pronounced.
In order for the eyes to look more expressive, they need a beautiful frame, or rather eyebrows. The distance between the eyebrows is greater than the length of the eye. The outer ends of the eyebrows extend beyond the outer corner of the eye. Of course, everyone's eyebrows are different, but, as a rule, they are adjusted to modern beauty canons with the help of cosmetics. In the Middle Ages, women shaved off their eyebrows. This is such a strange fashion requirement ... Perhaps in 100 years they will laugh at our ideas about beauty. Who knows…
In our drawing, the light will fall on the right. We note the glare on the iris. These are the lightest spots on the eyes. If you look in the mirror at your eyes, you will see how they sparkle. Why is the highlight on the iris? Because the iris is the most convex area in the eyes and it gets the most light.
Now let's start shading the eyes. We take a sharply sharpened HB pencil (hard-soft) and with neat strokes fill the entire drawing with the exception of highlights in the eyes.
We gradually gain tone by changing the direction of the stroke.
We darken the eyebrows, irises, upper and lower eyelids on the left (shadow) side.
Slightly darken the areas on the sides of the nose. We continue to darken the eyes and eyebrows layer by layer.
Now let's draw the cilia, some of which are shorter, others are longer. Draw eyelashes with short strokes from their roots to the eyebrows.
We make the lash line on the upper eyelid darker. This will give the eyes expressiveness.
Now let's get to the fun part. Let's take soft pencil(I used 5B) and darken a few areas, namely the pupil in the middle of the eye, the iris, paying special attention to the outer edges. We also darken the lash line and the eyelashes themselves on the upper eyelid. Let's highlight the lower lashes a bit. Let's also make the eyebrow a little darker. As you can see, the eye has come to life. The difference between the right and left parts of the figure is obvious.
