Eye. Without a doubt, this is a favorite subject of many artists! human eye- this is undoubtedly a window into the human soul. But how to portray it?
To learn to draw eyes, first I will ask you to take a small mirror. I want you to keep this mirror close to you while you paint. I want you to be able to look at your own eyes at any time while you are doing this lesson.
Mark Kistler picked up this technique from a visit with some alumni to DreamWorks a few years ago. The animators were working on Shrek, and their workstations had multiple computers, monitors, drawing tablets, and, interestingly, two mirrors flanking their desks. While the animators were working on various parts of Shrek, he could watch them frown in the mirrors as he drew Shrek's scowling face. Mark saw them holding their hands in different positions when drawing Shrek's hands. It was very interesting to see how world class artists brought Shrek to life. Now let's add life to your album - let's draw eye.
1. Sitting at the table, take a look in the mirror. Hold on for a few minutes... You are just a miracle. Just take a look! These eyes! These lips, nose, ears, hair, just a great model for drawing. You redrawn da Vinci in, and now you will copy from yourself ideal model eyes on the planet - from yourself! Lightly trace the shape of the eye. In this tutorial we will draw an eye that resembles the shape of a lemon, with a small tear duct. When you draw a lot of eyes (and you will undoubtedly draw more than a hundred of them, because they are so cool to draw), you will notice how many various forms the eyes of people on the planet. In this tutorial we are using simple form lemon.
2. Take a look in the mirror and examine your left upper eyelid. Notice how the folds follow the shape of the eye. Draw the upper eyelid starting from the inner corner of the eye.
3. Draw a perfectly round circle of the iris, bending a little under the upper eyelid. We use the law of overlap. Remember that the iris is a perfect circle, not an oval. Look in the mirror. Look closely at the thickness of the rim along the top of the lower lid. What's interesting is that the smallest details, like this one, what you are looking for and drawing. These details really give a "wow" effect. Without them, your drawing will look unrealistic.
4. Take a look in the mirror. Look closer at the pupil in the center of the iris. Notice the perfect circumference of the circle. Notice the tiny highlights inside the black circle. Draw a perfect round pupil in the middle of the iris. Inside, draw a small circle for highlights.
5. Take a look in the mirror. Look closer at your pupil again. Look at the black pupil and the light highlight. Draw this dark black pupil with a light highlight.
6. Take a look in the mirror. Look closely at the surface of the iris around the pupil. Take a closer look. And further. Just amazing game light, color, humidity, shape, such details! When you fill in the iris, make radial pencil strokes coming from the pupil and use lines various lengths: some are short, some are long. As you experiment with colored pencils, I would recommend that you start with this tutorial.
7. Draw your chic eyebrow. Make out each hair separately, starting from the bridge of the nose and moving along the forehead. Moving away from the nose, draw with more horizontal fluttering lines. Start shading the eyes along the inside of the eyelids.
8. Take a look in the mirror. Take a close look at your eyelashes. Pay attention to how your eyelashes are collected in small groups of two or three, and not from one eyelash. Notice how the lash groups start from the nearest edge. upper eyelid. Notice how your eyelashes curl from the eyelid, following the contour of the eye. Pay attention also to the location. Make sure you draw them on the very edge of the eyelid. Pay attention to the direction of the bend of the eyelashes. Be careful not to draw too many eyelashes, and also do not draw them too vertically (otherwise you may get a "spider web" effect).
Next step - shading. This step makes the eye actually appear on the page! There are five specific areas for shading. The first is right above your upper eyelid, the entire length of your eyeball. The next area is along the lower eyelid, above the water line, directly on the eyeball. Shade lightly at first, then you can create a darker effect (if you shade too much it will look like a very heavy gothic makeup, but maybe that's what you're going for?). The third area is the small crease at the top of your eyelids, the line that separates your mobile eyelid from your upper, fixed eyelid. The fourth area is the lower part of the orbit, which is darker in central corner near the nose and tear duct. This shadow is shaded and falls on the cheek.
Just as Leonardo da Vinci used feathering when shading Mona Lisa's eyes without hard dark lines, you also need to make the feathering very soft when shading the 3D eye. Be sure to shade and blend the fifth shading zone - the tiny "hidden" shadows at the corners of the eye sockets and eyelids.
LESSON 29: PRACTICE
I like draw eyes. The more you draw them, the more you enjoy them. Eyes are the most important element in drawing the face of a person, animal or magical creature. Draw some more eyes in your sketchbook, some looking at yourself in the mirror, some watching YouTube tutorials. There are incredible amateur lessons for you to enjoy.
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.
In this tutorial I will show you how to draw an eye step by step. To begin with, let's understand what the eye consists of, knowing all its components, you can easily achieve its realistic image.
The structure of the eye
We have analyzed the structure of the eye, let's move on to drawing the eye
Draw an eye
Let's start with the pupil, you can use a circle or draw it freehand. We draw a larger circle - this will be our iris, and a smaller circle in it - the pupil.
Next step. We draw the upper and lower eyelids. In order to do this correctly, imagine that the shape of the eyelids resembles a fish. If we strain our imagination a little, something similar should turn out.
Draw a few highlights on our pupil - this will give the eye realism. Do not forget about the 3rd eyelid, about the thickness of the upper and lower eyelids. After the shape of our eye has become completely suitable for you, we can forget about fish and fins.
Not less than important detail in drawing eyes - eyelashes. You need to understand exactly for yourself what shape the eyelashes have, in which direction they grow and how not to draw them. Eyelashes are usually comma shaped in reverse. At the base they are thicker, at the end they taper. Eyelashes are not straight and of the same thickness, otherwise you will get rays of the sun as children draw. Pay attention to how not to draw eyelashes and how to depict them correctly.
Practice separately until you get it right. Now let's move on to the direction of eyelash growth. On the eyelid, as a rule, eyelashes grow in different direction depending on the location. In the figure below, I will show with arrows where and in which direction they grow. Do not forget that closer to the corner of the eye (3rd eyelid), the eyelashes decrease in size. In no case do not make them the same size, otherwise it will not be believable.
In order for our eyelashes to look thicker, we stroke a little at half strength at the base of the eyelashes. Thus, the eyelashes will acquire volume and density.
Let's get down to the part of the tone, volume and realism of our eye. In this lesson, our eye will be black and white in order to emphasize the basics and structures. Let's divide our eye into tones. The lightest part will be the highlight on the pupil. We will not touch it, but later we will generally erase its contours. Please note that the pupil is the darkest in our eye, then the eyelashes follow the tone, then the 3rd eyelid, the iris, and the white of the eye will be the lightest (do not leave it white, it also has a tone).
For correct application I will mark the tone with red lines in which place it is worth applying it so that you do not make a mistake. Remember that the highlight should remain pure white. The arrows indicate the direction in which your tone should weaken and merge with what you applied earlier.
You should get out similar image eyes
Finally, add some contrast to your eye. If necessary, increase the tone where you applied it. Optionally, you can draw in the volume of the upper eyelid that closes the eye. This will give our eye even more volume and realism. Pay attention to the structure of the iris. Draw it, it will only be a plus for your eyes.
This tutorial will show you how to draw eyes step by step with a pencil.
I really love drawing eyes, I just love this part human face, because each of them is completely different and reflects our character, our mood and intentions. At first, when I was just learning to draw, and was a very, very beginner, drawing eyes seemed to me something incredibly difficult and unattainable. However, when I got acquainted with the tutorials explaining the essence of drawing an eye, it became much easier for me. So, in this tutorial I want to show how you can draw beautiful eyes in stages, and it will be very easy! In addition to those eyes above, we get this eye:
First, let's draw one eye, and then two at once, so that you understand how to draw them evenly and correctly.
So, we begin to learn how to draw the first eye, carefully read all the descriptions and repeat after me. If you don’t succeed the first time, it’s not a reason to be upset, it’s just training.
The first thing we need to do is determine the size of the eye, its length. Let's draw just such a line - it should be slightly inclined. At the edges I limit this line with two short strokes. Note that the first lines should be very, very light and thin, and you should have an eraser ready if you decide to draw an eye with a pencil.
Draw from the edges of the segment smooth lines. We should get a figure resembling an almond. Let's round off the protruding corner with a small line - look, it is already beginning to resemble a real human eye, albeit a painted one.
By the way, when you draw human eyes, it is very important that you have an example. Put a small mirror in front of you or open a photo of eyes - drawn or real. Study carefully - you see that the lower eyelid is not flat, but how do you stick out? That is why I add another line from below, cilia grow along its lower border. Now we draw the iris and pupil - they are a little hidden by the upper eyelid, but not always.
Next, we arm ourselves with an eraser and erase all unnecessary lines - the upper part of the iris, as well as those strokes that we left at the very beginning. Now we need to draw a crease at the top, as well as very small creases at the bottom and near the corner of the eye. note that appearance of these folds can vary depending on which eyes you draw - for example, in Asians, these folds are almost invisible.
Our eye is almost ready, now I draw the eyebrow on top and add the cilia.
Now you know how to draw an eye step by step with a pencil, but that's not all. I need to add some volume to the eye - I paint over the pupil, and also add shading to the white of the eye.
In the next step, we add shadows to the drawn eye - along the edges of the folds, but it all depends on the lighting. I also draw the eyebrow hairs to make everything look natural.
Here is a drawing of the eye in stages we got. You can practice with a pencil, and then try to paint your eyes with paints or colored pencils.
Happened? It's time to send a photo of the drawn eye in the comments and try to draw two eyes with me at once.
The distance between the eyes is equal to the length of the eye, so we draw a straight line and divide it into three parts. You should end up like this.
Add these slanted lines.
Focusing on the drawn base, draw the shape of the future eyes. We draw the lines in turn - first the upper lines of both eyes, then the lower ones, then draw the line of the teardrop - so you get symmetrical eyes. And, of course, we look at the base.
Now, in turn, draw both the pupils and the iris of the eye. If you are afraid to draw crooked or oblique, first put one dot on each eye, see if everything is even, and then draw circles so that the dots are exactly in the middle.
Erase extra lines outside the border of the eye and draw the upper folds on both eyes.
Add corner and bottom folds.
Next, I erase all those extra lines in the drawing of the eyes. I draw eyebrows a little higher, I add a nose bridge between the eyes so that the picture looks natural. When I drew these eyes, I looked at a photo of celebrity eyes, you can do the same or look at my drawing.
The eyes are the mirror of the human soul. To draw them realistically is a very delicate matter. That is what we will talk about in this article. You will learn how to draw
It is necessary to pay attention to every detail, otherwise the result will be unnatural. Prepare everything necessary tools: a sharp pencil, a fine-tipped eraser, and a sheet of paper. Now consider how to draw realistic eyes.
In order to get desired result, the artist must understand It is a small sphere, which is located in the eye socket and is covered by the eyelids, the gap between them is the palpebral fissure. The inner corner, closer to the nose, is always rounded and has a sharp end. External - the one closer to the ear should be pointed. The upper eyelid should be at or slightly above the pupil, it slightly covers. If you draw the pupil and in the center of the palpebral fissure, the eyes will look bulging, the drawing will turn out to be unnatural.
How to draw eyes with a pencil
So, let's get to work. The visual organ as a whole is a bit like an ellipse. We perform the following actions:
1. With very light strokes, we begin to sketch the eyes as shown in the figure.
If you are interested in the question of how to draw a girl's eyes, follow the instructions below:
- the upper eyelid from the inner corner of the eye and the lower eyelid from the outer corner of the visual organ are straight, equal to about 1/3 of the length of the visual organ;
- if you spend horizontal line in the center of the eye, then the outer corner of the eyelid will be slightly raised, which is not necessary in drawing, but can give the look a slight cunning;
- the area of the upper eyelid from the inner corner should be slightly concave, which will add sophistication to the pattern.
2. Considering all of the above, we create the outline of the iris, pupil and highlights. Shade as shown in the picture below.
3. Now you need to paint over the darkest parts of the eye. First of all, this is the pupil. Don't forget to leave a highlight on it! Look at the original drawing and darken the necessary places in your work.
4. Create dark rays drawing thin lines with a sharp pencil.
5. Lightly blend the iris with your finger, but do it very carefully.
6. Now take the eraser. With its sharp end, add some natural light rays on the iris.
7. An artist who knows how to draw realistic eyes with a pencil must understand that the white of the eye cannot be completely snow-white! Add some grey.
8. Now work with the eyelids: add dark and light tones to them, then blend them.
9. Now draw the upper eyelashes. They should be slightly arched and necessarily have different lengths. They grow from the upper eyelid and end just above the lower one.
10. Lightly create thin lower eyelashes. If you are wondering how to draw eyes with a pencil so that they turn out natural, it is important to know the following: eyelashes cannot be perfectly even. They are somewhere more bent, somewhere carelessly lie. Therein lies a piece of natural beauty.
How to draw eyes with a pencil. Brows
1. Outline the eyebrows.
2. Shade and blend the area under them up to the upper eyelid. By the same principle, the area under the lower eyelid is processed.
3. Draw the main hairs, then add some small ones.
4. Slightly blend the eyebrows.
Now you know one way to create realistic eyes. You will definitely succeed!
