Many people miss the small ones, but important details structure of the eye, representing it schematically. For example, many people forget to draw a third eyelid in the corners of the eyes near the nose, or that a shadow usually falls on the iris from the eyelid. If you want to learn how to draw, then I recommend that you start drawing from memory, and not copy someone's eye from a photograph, then you will consciously remember the basic principles.
First, mark a barely noticeable horizontal line on a piece of paper (later we will erase it), the entire drawing will be built from it, but during construction it serves as a guide.
Now we draw the outline of the eyes, it will also be the borders for the eyelids. Please note that the pupil in the human eye is not located exactly in the middle of the eye, but is shifted slightly upwards. This is very important to create a realistic look.
When the main boundaries are outlined, you can start hatching. To do this, it is better to change the pencil and take as soft as possible so that the shading is dense without pressure. Mark a highlight on the iris in advance, which will "go" a little on the pupil, this area does not need to be shaded (erasing dense hatching is still a hassle!).
Shaded pupil? Let's move on to the iris, stroke it with thin lines, without going to the borders of the glare. It should always remain the brightest part of your eye, this will give it a realistic "humidity". You don’t need to try to draw everything perfectly at once, draw every line, you need to create the general appearance of the eye, outline how light falls on it.
Let's move on to centuries. Apply shading not jerky movements, but with long lines, following the smooth shape of the eyelids. This will immediately give them a spectacular volume. Do not press hard on the pencil, but rather use the shading of all the shaded details.
It can be a thick napkin or a piece of clean, fleecy cloth. But do not start shading with dark details like the pupil, it will get dirty and then mess up the whole drawing! First, we shade the lightest parts, the sequence is as follows: the eyelid, the white of the eye, then the iris, and only in the final the pupil.
The eye turned out, but may look a little pale. To "revive" it, you need to add a few details. Make a clearer and more pronounced contour at the iris, shade the outer and inner side of the eyelid, slightly darken the areas of the iris adjacent to the pupil and its outer circumference.
Just do not make all the strokes the same, they should be of different lengths and thicknesses, then the look will sparkle with live sparks. Don't forget about the third eyelid. There are often glare in the corner of the eye. Just use an eraser to erase a small speck to get a highlight, but not as bright as on the iris.
Finally lashes. Draw them only last turn, otherwise they will interfere with shading the eyelid! Real eyelashes are never straight, they are always slightly curved. Let's start drawing eyelashes from upper eyelid, draw slightly curved arcs (the length of the eyelashes for each person is different, it all depends on your desire, but do not overdo it). Then slightly thicken the base of each to give them density and volume. Do not forget to tilt the growth of cilia according to the shape of the eyelids!
The eyes are the window to the soul of any character. Therefore, by correctly portraying the eyes, you can not only convey the mood, but also the character of the hero. With the help of one eye, you can make both a negative and a positive character.
Recently we studied with you, and we made this lesson in addition to the lesson "". The whole naturalness of the image depends on how you depict the eyes in the portrait. Therefore, if you are a beginner artist, we advise you to first figure out how to draw eyes with a pencil, and then start drawing the entire portrait.
Being able to draw a classic female eye without unnecessary emotions is very important. By learning to display such a drawing, you can draw more serious expressions. 
The eye of a superhero is always on the alert! It is wide open, has a lot of highlights. This is the eye of an interested character. Shadows and highlights will add volume and realism to any eye. Their correct location can save even a not entirely successful drawing. 
The eye, drawn by the hand of the artist, makes a tremendous impression. And all because of the correct anatomy. All internal tissues and muscles of the eye are drawn correctly. 
It is very important to be able to draw not only eyes directed straight, but also at a certain angle. For example, when looking up, the pupil reaches its maximum position, and the iris rolls over the upper eyelid. 
Wide open eyes inherent in a child or young naive girl. With the help of such eyes, create the right image. 
A frown is inherent in capricious and impudent heroines, or overly self-confident. Therefore, try not to overdo it if you want to add only a little menacing. 
A difficult angle for a look is always a test, because the crystal of the eye needs a volume that is quite difficult to depict. 
The eye in profile has a rather interesting look. As you can see, you first need to draw the eyeball itself, and only then surround it with eyelids. Do not try to press the eyelids very tightly. 
The view from below is quite exciting. Here it is important not to overdo it with long eyelashes and curved lines. Don't forget to distort the crystal a little.
Hello dear friends!
Today we have a very interesting and important topic, we will learn how to draw a human eye. The eyes, as you know, are the mirror of the soul, the most eloquent and attractive part of a person's face.
Structure
First, let's define the terminology, and for this, let's look at the general simplified structure of the eye:
This scheme is not for studying anatomy, but for understanding the drawing technique, all the most important parts are indicated here.
How to draw an eye
Steps to create a pencil sketch
At the beginning of the lesson, let's just try to do light sketch, step by step. We use a pencil. 
Now we will not delve into the nuances and features of the structure of the eyes.
How to draw eyes with a pencil:
- We designate the shape of the eye, enclosing it in the framework of an angular figure. We will also show the folds above the upper and lower eyelids.
- Weft shape, make the lines smoother, smooth the corners. We outline the eyebrow pupil and iris. Let's slightly denote the thickness of the eyelid and teardrop.
- We specify the thickness of the eyelids, designate a highlight on the iris, shade the dark pupil, easily show the shadow under the upper eyelid on the sclera. Refine the brow a bit.
- We give color and pattern to the iris, opposite the glare, a reflex light spot is formed on the iris. Add shadows on the rounded shape of the eyeball. With the help of strokes, we shade the upper eyelid, select and refine the crease above it.
- We detail, refine the shadows and light, add eyelashes.

Form
The eyeball is shaped like a ball, which is attached inside the eye socket. We see only a part of this ball, covered with eyelids. When drawing an eye in any technique, you need to remember and understand that we show light and shadow on a spherical shape. 
The lidded eyes are almond-shaped, this nut is the most accurate for comparison. In fact, the eye is an oval whose outer corner is pointed, the inner is rounded. This oval, like the almond nut, is not symmetrical, this is their main similarity. Here's a look if the eye is split horizontal line, and find the widest place at the top and bottom, then we will see that these points are in different parts oval. 
In the upper part, the highest point will be closer to the lacrimal gland, and in the lower part, to the outer corner.

Eyelids
The eyelids are not flat, they have quite a noticeable thickness, enveloping the rounded shape of the eyeball. If you look at the face in profile, the thickness of the eyelids is clearly visible. The lower eyelid is deeper set than the upper.
thickness is indicated in orange
The upper eyelid and eyelashes cast a shadow on the eyeball.
Eyeball without eyeshadow and with shadow
The thickness of the lower eyelid is lighter than the upper one, since more light enters this part.
Fold
Above the upper eyelid there is always a fold of skin that covers part of it. At different people this fold is formed in different ways, sometimes hanging over the inner or outer part of the eye, and in Asians it completely covers the teardrop and completely the entire upper eyelid. 
The direction and shape of this fold will help you draw the eyes more correctly and accurately. 
teardrop
In the inner corner of the eye is the lacrimal caruncle - an elongated convex semi-oval. special attention or there are no nuances in the image of this part of the eye, but without a teardrop, your drawing will look implausible. You can mark it with a slight hint, or you can draw it to the details and veins, depending on the task, but in no case do not forget about this important part of the eyes.

Pupil and iris
The direction of gaze can be determined by the position of the pupil, and with it the iris. The pupil is a perfect dark circle, it is always in the center of the circle of the iris.
In a resting position, the eyelids cover about 30 percent of the iris, sometimes part of the pupil.
- To show wide eyes, open most iris (more than 30%) or draw it completely.
- Covered squinted eyelids open only a small part of the iris and pupil.
If you look closely, look at the eye in profile, we will see that:
The iris has a convex shape similar to a bowl. The pupil is a completely flat black spot inside, it has no volume.
The illustration shows what the eye looks like in profile, the shape of the iris and the pupil. If you are wearing contact lenses, then you know perfectly well what in question. Do not draw the pupil at the edge of the iris.

Glare and reflex
The glare will lie down in a rounded shape, a reflex is formed opposite the glare - a spot scattered light. The glare is formed on the side where the light falls, and the reflex is on the opposite side.
Green is the highlight, and orange is the reflex.
Eyelashes
A beautiful expressive eye can be depicted without eyelashes, although this will be a little unnatural. Eyelashes are a detail that needs to be added at the very end of the work, when everything is ready and looks pretty decent without them.
Let's see how it is, and how not to mark eyelashes. 
Eyelashes are thicker, at the base of the eyelid, it is more noticeable than at the tips. Eyelashes have different lengths, and next to a long eyelash are short ones. Naturally, different people have them various lengths and density, twisted up or directed straight. If you want to highlight the eyelashes, don't draw them in the same length and thickness.

Directions and Landmarks
Superciliary arches and eyebrows protect our organ of vision from various external stimuli, so they always rise above the eye, which is located in depth. 
The eyebrow is always located above the eye, moves forward. The lower eyelid is slightly deeper than the upper. These directions must be observed, they are shown in the picture with red lines.
Proportions relative to the head
It is important not only to show the eyes beautifully, but also to place them correctly, observing the basic proportions of the human head.
We have already studied many rules in the previous lesson: how to draw a face. For example, how to find the line of the eye and determine their size.
How to draw human eyes:
Line of eyes in the middle of the head, wings of the nose on the same vertical axis with teardrops
- To correctly place the eyes, draw a horizontal axis in the center of the head.
- The inner corners of the eyes are always on the same vertical line with the wings of the nose, no closer and no further (second part of the illustration).
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 parallel line lower eyelid, on which 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 the 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.
From this article you will learn
Human eyes are the most important, most expressive part of the face. How to draw eyes with a pencil? In order not only to learn how to portray them, but to convey character traits specific person, the direction of the gaze, the reflection of the inner and outer world, figuratively speaking, you need to carefully study the anatomy, understand the basic principles of construction, learn how to effectively impose a tone.
The lesson is devoted to how to learn how to draw eyes, how to draw eyes with a pencil. It is built in such a way that it is convenient to draw with a pencil in stages.
There is no single answer on how to draw eyes correctly, but the principle is the same everywhere: you must definitely connect the eyes with construction lines in order to determine the location relative to each other.
Tip: use 3B pencils for dark areas, 2B and HB for everything else. Paper - Goznak, A4 format. Take a soft eraser, I use a MILAN eraser, ideal for working with fine wiping of small things. And sharpen your pencil more often.
Construction of eyes from two straight lines
IN this figure there are few construction lines, but they are important in order to accurately capture the direction, to solve the problem of how to draw symmetrical eyes with a pencil, and not play each other on their own))).
We draw a line of inclination. The eyes are most often symmetrical (of course, there are exceptions. We consider the average option). The slope line passes through the corners, note that all four corners are on the same line. By the way, on a note, speaking of proportions human face, I would like to note that when looking at the front, the distance between the inner corners in a proportional face is equal to the distance between the inner and outer corners of one eye. Simply put, the width of the eye is equal to the distance from one eye to the other. If you draw a face in front, this remark will help you figure out how to draw eyes correctly. In our case, the face is turned three-quarters, but this distance almost coincided in proportion. The second eye is of course shorter because of the turn.
Next, we estimate the height of the upper eyelid. The slope of the straight line is the same, the eyelids are on the same straight line. 
Note the direction of view. If you mentally draw perpendiculars from the center of the pupil to the lower straight line, you can see that the left pupil is in the center, the right one is a little closer to the left edge. 
We outline the contours, starting from the upper eyelid. At the left, the upper point of the arc is above the pupil. On the right, the strongest bend is to the left of the pupil, goes beyond the edge of the corner. Strongly rounded. Smooth, precise bends can not be drawn yet, but everything can be drawn quite approximately, the main thing is in the right direction.
Outline the borders of the lower eyelid. The right one almost coincides with the lower horizontal from the inner tip, goes down, rounds off towards the end. The left one is lowered from the horizontal down. 
We draw the pupils and the iris, which have a round shape, partially covered by the eyelids. Mentally or with a pencil we make circles. The photo shows the correct and incorrect irises. 
We clarify the details. We draw tears, folds and small details. 
There are no eyelashes yet, they will appear at the hatching stage.
If you coped with this stage, it turned out smoothly and symmetrically, so to speak, from one face, then you have already decided the question of how to draw eyes correctly.
But a line drawing is not a finished work, so let's start hatching. At this stage, you will comprehend all the subtleties of how to draw eyes with a pencil.
Hatching. Putting tone on a line drawing
Let's start with the darkest places.
We hatch the iris according to the shape of its drawing, we draw the strokes in two directions: from the edge to the pupil, then from the pupil to the edge. Glare try to keep clean. You can outline its shape in advance with a light outline without pressure. If you can’t apply a tone with a highlight, do it without a highlight, then clean it with an eraser. 
If you overdid it somewhere, correct it with a thinly cut eraser. 
Note that the edges of the pupil are blurry. Do not draw them perfectly even, clear - it will look more natural.
Apply the falling shadow on the iris according to the shape with horizontal strokes.
Before applying the tone, wipe the lines with an eraser to a barely noticeable state. Check the details all the time. 
With wide sweeping strokes in shape, add shadows over the eyelids. 
Eyelashes- the most pleasant part of the drawing, they give the greatest expressiveness than everything else. Although drawing eyelashes is easy, try to do it carefully. Each hair does not need to be drawn, it can be depicted approximately, but in character. 
Detailing and finishing the drawing
After everything is shaded, look in general, without the original image. Edit where you see fit. Please note that in the finished drawing, the inner thickness of the eyelid is slightly dimmed from above, the highlights are detailed. I cleaned them with a thin cut of the eraser, added the missing points. Shine has arrived! That's all the principles of how to draw eyes in stages.
If you have mastered how to draw eyes with a pencil, then the problem of how to draw an eye expressively and beautifully will not arise either.
