Many aspiring artists most aspire to draw human faces. This is understandable: the face is the most important aesthetic component of the body, and orders for portraits are received much more often than, say, for the image of the feet.
If you have more or less studied general structure human head, the initial construction and the basics of chiaroscuro, you can begin to master the details. The most expressive part of the face is, without a doubt, the eyes - it is them that we will learn to draw today.
So let's get started!
First sketch out the outlines of your eye. Designate general form, outline the teardrop and eyelid.
Then draw the contours of the iris and pupil, then outline the outline of the highlights and lightly shade the iris, bypassing the marked highlights.
In the next step, shade the pupil (immediately make it darker to separate it from the iris). Start drawing streaks on the iris, and also draw a drop shadow from upper eyelid. Don't put too much pressure on the pencil so you can gradually pick up the tone in the right places.
Draw the veins on the iris more carefully, work out the shadows above the upper eyelid, and also draw a shadow under the lower one. Walk a thin line of the undercut elastic around the eye: on this light line we will draw eyelashes.
Draw eyelashes - and the drawing will immediately take on a completely different look. The upper eyelashes cross, forming "triangles". The lower lashes are usually much thinner, shorter and less frequent than the upper ones. It will also be useful to work out the texture of the iris in more detail: apply dark dots and strokes, and gently rub out tiny light areas with a rubber band.
It remains to work on the details. Strengthen all dark places: the pupil, the contour of the iris (its upper border is in shadow, therefore darker), the lower border of the upper eyelashes. The shadows above the upper and under the lower eyelids also need to be made a little darker. Pay attention to highlights: they should be as light as possible. Add volume to the eyeball by slightly intensifying the shadows and highlights.
One of the most important elements of a pencil portrait is the eyes. After all, it’s not for nothing that they say “the eyes are the window to the soul.” One expression of the eyes can say a lot about a person: whether he is sad or cheerful, angry, offended, thoughtful, happy, upset.
On early stages learning it is better to use a hard or medium pencil (softness H-F-HB or T-TM in Russian markings).
The human eye has the shape of an ellipse. The inner corner of the eye is located at the level of the center line.
The outer corner of the eye may be slightly raised above the center line.
From the inside, the upper part of the eye is most often slightly concave.
But it should be remembered that depending on the type of face, the structure of the eyes can also change, fluctuating within insignificant limits.
We draw the base, taking into account the above characteristics of the structure of the eye.
Add eyelashes on the upper part of the eyelid from the outside.
In the lower outer part of the eye, we also draw eyelashes, but already shorter than the upper ones. With a thin line we emphasize the thickness of the lower eyelid.
Having chosen the direction of view, draw the outline of the iris and pupil.
We hatch the iris and pupil, and the pupil should be darker. By changing the pressure of the pencil, we can change the tone of the hatching, making it thicker and darker or lighter and lighter. The color of the iris depends on the physiological characteristics of the eyes and the brightness of the light.
We impose shadows from the upper eyelid on the iris on both sides of the pupil. A shadow can also fall on the white of the eyeball, but it is lighter and lighter, and is visible directly under the eyelid, and sometimes it is practically not noticeable.
Next, draw the thickness of the upper eyelid with a line parallel to the edge of the eyelid. We emphasize the base of the upper eyelashes, making the line of their attachment more clear. We select the contours of the inner corner of the eye. Gaining tone on the pupil and iris. We make eyelashes thicker. And at the end of everything, add a highlight by selecting a pencil with an eraser.
Eyes are best drawn in pairs, constantly comparing them. But do not forget that there are no people with exactly the same left and right side of the face. So the eyes will be different from each other.
It has long been said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. That they radiate warmth, love and tenderness. And they can talk about pain and hatred. How to convey this on paper with a simple pencil? How to draw a human eye? No portrait will turn out if you fail to correctly draw human eyes, to convey the feelings and thoughts that shine in them. How to draw eyes in stages, this small lesson will show.
Step 1. Preparation. Before you start drawing, choose in what technique and with what you will draw. In this lesson we will draw with simple pencils of different hardness - B, 3B, 8B. This makes it possible to achieve greater depth and realism. It is best to use thick paper for drawing, which has a smooth surface, on which the strokes are more expressive and of high quality. watercolor paper has a granular structure, which is not very convenient for pencil drawing. In addition to pencils and paper, we will need a pencil sharpener, rubbing cloth and a pen-shaped eraser.
Step 2. Let's start with the outline of the eye. Let's figure out how to draw realistic eye pencil. To do this, we use a mirror to see our eye and draw it from life. We draw a sketch with very thin lines, trying to press the pencil as little as possible. This will allow us to easily erase everything unnecessary. If you press hard on it, then dirt and indented lines will remain on the paper - our work will look very untidy. In order for the drawing to turn out to be of high quality, the pencils must be sharply sharpened throughout the work.
Step 3. First, draw the pupil, for this we use the softest pencil - it will give saturation to the dark pupil without special efforts. Then, with a pencil of the greatest hardness, shade the iris of the eye. She always has more dark color along the edges, so we carefully apply hatching along the outer contours and more on top soft pencil. This will give the eye more depth.
Step 4. To make the surface of the iris look more impressive, gently rub the strokes with a soft cloth. Then we hatch the dark part again with a 3B pencil and rub it gently again. We repeat this procedure until we are satisfied with the result.
Step 5. To make the iris look more realistic, you need to add small uneven radial strokes to its surface. They have a wave-like appearance and are directed from the center of the gas to its edges. With such strokes, you need to fill the entire surface of the iris.
Step 6. How to draw realistic eyes without touching the eyeball? This is impossible. After all, it has a spherical shape, which means it cannot remain just white. Therefore, we carefully apply hatching to its edges. At the same time, the closer to the outer edge, the strokes should be a little darker.
Step 7. Now let's draw the lacrimal canal. We give shading depth to the darkest places. You need to try to convey its moisture.
Step 8. We draw the lower and upper eyelids. With the help of hatching, we give them volume. We emphasize the crease of the upper eyelid with more intense shading. On the lower eyelid, we select lighter places with an eraser.
Step 9. Now add eyelashes. The upper lashes are beautifully curved upwards. In order to make them look more realistic, you need to draw an eyelash from the lower line of the upper eyelid, go a little on the eyeball and, turning the line, enter it up. We finish the eyelash just above the crease. The lower lash line is located a short distance from the beginning of the lower eyelid. We draw them according to the same principle as the upper ones, but we make them much shorter. It is advisable to draw eyelashes a little in different directions which will give them a more natural look.
Every artist who depicts someone's portrait should be able to draw the person's eyes. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing complicated in this. However, in order for the drawing to turn out realistic, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances and small parts. How to draw a person's eyes beautifully with a pencil?
human eye structure
The human eye consists of several external structural elements, each of which performs a specific function:
- upper eyelid;
- lower eyelid;
- upper eyelashes;
- lower eyelashes;
- iris and iris;
- eyeball (sclera);
- pupil;
- teardrop.
To draw a human eye with a pencil, you must take into account all the folds smooth lines, shadows and much more, as well as choosing the right location for the eyebrow. Otherwise, the drawing will seem implausible.
Step by Step Instructions for Drawing Human Eyes
It is necessary to draw a person's eyes with a pencil in several stages. Step by step, line by line, a whole image is formed from the structural elements. The step by step process of drawing a human eye can be seen in the picture.
Step 1
First you need to draw the shape of the eye. To do this, it should be enclosed in a frame with corners. Immediately you need to draw the folds that are visible above the upper and lower eyelids. Also, the shape of the eye can be drawn from two perpendicular lines, crossed among themselves. Horizontal line should be longer than vertical. Then four points are smoothly connected. A teardrop is indicated in the inner corner, without which the eye will turn out to be unnatural. External and internal corners can be drawn both on one and on different levels. Extra lines need to be erased.
Step 2
It is necessary to draw the iris, which should be round. It is important to take into account that the third part of it is hidden by the upper eyelid. Inside the iris, strictly in the center, you need to draw a pupil, paint it in a dark color.
Step 3
Then you can start drawing the upper eyelid, behind which the part of the iris with the pupil is hidden. For this, the method of drawing lines in the form of strokes is used. The main thing is not to overdo it so that the eyelid turns out to be of optimal thickness, it is darkened in the crease zone. After that, you should draw the lower eyelid, which is selected from the inner corner of the eye.
Step 4
The next step is to draw a highlight near the iris on the pupil. It is depicted as a small circle. Opposite the glare, a spot is formed scattered light, which is also located near the pupil, only on the other side. This is a reflex that needs to be drawn with smooth lines.
Step 5
The next step is the image of the eyebrows and superciliary arches, which provide protection to the eye from external stimuli. The eyebrow is always placed above the organ of vision and is pushed forward slightly. First, it is recommended to draw a test line, and then draw hairs from it. At the base of the eyebrows are thicker than at the temple. Hairs can be placed both in one direction and intersect.
The upper eyelid is higher than the lower. In the photo below you can see all directions. They must be observed, otherwise it will not work to draw a realistic eye.
Step 6
Eyes must be framed with eyelashes. They can be drawn in advance, but on final stages will still need to be adjusted. Like everything else, eyelashes should look realistic, and not like in children's drawings, where they resemble chamomile petals. In the photo below you can see correct design. The upper lashes are always longer than the lower ones, thick at the base and thinner towards the end. To do this, as each eyelash is drawn in growth, the pressure of the pencil must be reduced.
Step 7
The last step is necessary in order to remove the auxiliary lines, remove unnecessary strokes, make certain places darker or lighter or darker. That is, to bring your drawing to perfection.

Anime eyes are very beautiful. The drawing of the eyes in this style is slightly distorted, but very effective. The eyes are unnaturally large with long eyelashes, and girls dream of such eyes. Unfortunately, such eyes are only drawn in pictures; in reality, human eyes look different. However, it is not necessary to have huge eyes and long eyelashes, any person has very beautiful eyes, especially when he smiles. Any portrait of a person is, first of all, correctly drawn eyes. However, drawing eyes correctly is quite difficult, since it is very difficult to convey the look of a person in a drawing. Let's try to learn draw eyes man with a pencil, step by step.
1. First draw simple outlines
To make it easier for you draw eyes man, I decided to draw only one eye. But you can immediately draw two eyes by placing them side by side in mirror image. To do this, draw both contours on your drawing at once. Please note that the eyes should be the same, but in a mirror position in relation to each other, otherwise they will look crooked and oblique, which is naturally undesirable for drawing a girl's beautiful eyes.
2. Add another contour to the figure
So far, the lesson on how to draw eyes is more like a geometry lesson. But it is with such figures that it will be easier for you to learn how to draw correctly. Please note that the second contour is not a square, but a rectangle, its horizontal sides are longer than the perpendicular ones.
3. Draw the general shape of the eye
Now you will need to draw the shape of the eye, "stretch" the previous contour and draw an oval for the cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye inside the rectangle. All this is not difficult to do, it is only important to accurately mark where the corners of the eye will be located. Note that if the angled lines are connected too far, the eyes will be narrow.
4. The eye takes on a real shape
When drawing the eyes, it is important to correctly draw the shape of the eye, to "hold" all the proportions, and therefore we used geometric shapes. But at this step, we will no longer need them, and they will need to be removed. But first you need to change the shape of the eye, just like in my drawing. The left corner of the eye (in relation to you) must be brought out general outline and lower almost to the level of the lower part of the cornea oval. And the right corner of the eye, on the contrary, move inside the contour at the level of the horizontal marking line. After that, with smooth lines, connect the corners into one. Now you can remove the extra contour lines and the picture is now real beautiful eye. This is a difficult step, give it the most attention.
5. The drawing of the eyes is almost finished
Draw a pupil inside the cornea of the eye. Pupils do not need to be drawn too large. Human eyes in normal light have small pupils. In the left corner, draw a bag for tears, and on top, a parallel line of the upper eyelid. Now we can say that you were able to draw the eye almost completely. It remains only to draw eyelashes and slightly shade the drawing with a pencil.
6. How to shade eyes with a pencil
To finally draw the eyes, you need to add eyelashes, but small ones. We're painting usual eyes of a person, not the eyes of a fashion model from a magazine. Keep in mind that eyelashes can give an unexpected effect to the picture of the eye, and they must be used with care. Then you need to darken some areas of the eyelids, as shown in the figure. You also need to add a stroke around the eye in place of the eyelashes, circle the iris. And of course, color the iris with colored pencils.
7. Add color to the iris
Now, drawing a person's face, you can already confidently and correctly do eye drawing.
