How to draw downcast eyes with a pencil step by step. We draw the eyes of a person, with a simple pencil in stages

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"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. The interesting thing is that the smallest details, like this, are 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 an amazing play of light, color, humidity, shape, such details! When you fill in the iris, make radial pencil strokes coming from the pupil and use lines of various lengths: some short, some 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 your eyes inside century.

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 clusters start from the nearest edge of the 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, full length. eyeball. The next area is along the lower eyelid, above the water line, directly on the eyeball. Shade lightly to start, 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 the 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. The 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.

What You'll Be Creating

Eyes are a great subject for an image, they combine a lot different materials and they look like gems hidden in our body. They are also pretty hard to draw, but that doesn't mean you can't do it! In this tutorial I will show you how to draw a handsome, realistic eye no original image.

What will you need

  • Paper
  • HB pencil
  • Pencil 2B
  • Pencil 4B
  • Pencil 5B
  • Pencil 7B or 8B
  • rastushka
  • Eraser (preferably soft)
  • Pencil sharpener

1. Start Drawing the Eye

Step 1

Take a pencil HB, approximately draw a very light oval. The line should be barely perceptible.

Step 2

Draw two curves intersecting the oval that will create the eyelids.

Step 3

The eyelids should have a certain thickness, so add an edge to them.

Step 4

Draw a round iris, a pupil in the middle, a glare reflection shape, as well as the corners of the eyes.

Step 5

The eyebrow is the frame for the eyes, so don't forget about it! Draw the eyebrow using straight lines to recreate the natural shape.

Step 6

Before we start shading the eye, we need to understand its 3D shape. You can solve this by drawing guide lines. I described this technique in my lesson

2. How to Draw a Realistic Iris

Step 1

Take the most soft pencil (a 7B or 8B pencil works best) and then paint over the pupil, leaving an area for the reflective highlight. The darkness of the pupil will determine the contrast for the rest of the drawing.

Step 2

Take a pencil 2B, and then draw the supporting ligaments extending from the center of the iris. Walk around the highlight area. Tilt the pencil slightly so that the lines are soft.

Step 3

Darken the edge of the iris and also draw a "ring" around the pupil.

Step 4

Take a pencil 2B, and then further darken the edges. Shade the iris by adding more supporting ligaments or fibers, individual fibers should be darker than the rest.

Step 5

Use the same pencil to shade the entire iris. Draw a penumbra around the ring, as well as small shadows between the fibers.

Step 6

Take a pencil 4B, make sure it is well sharpened. Use this pencil to accentuate the shadows you drew earlier.

Step 7

By using rasshki, carefully align the outline of the iris. This is part of the eyeball, so the iris should not have a completely hard edge.

Step 8

Take a pencil 4B to draw the shadow from the upper eyelid over the iris. Do not forget that the eye is not flat, and therefore the shadows should be curved.

Step 9

Using the same pencil, draw the shadow of the eyelashes. The shadows will be most visible above the reflection area of ​​the highlight.

Step 10

Take a pencil 5B to correct the contrast of the eye. Darken the shadows to make the highlights stand out more.

3. Shading the Eye

Step 1

Take a pencil HB, and then create gentle shading around the eyeball. During the shading process, remember that the eyeball is roughly a sphere, so don't make the shadows flat.

Step 2

Use a blender to soften the shadows. Don't be afraid to combine them even further to the center.

Step 3

Take an eraser to clean up the illuminated areas. The eye isn't exactly smooth, so it will look even better if you break up the soft shadows with the hard edges of the eraser strokes.

Step 4

Take a pencil HB and then draw the details lacrimal caruncle. This area is wet and shiny, so add the outlines of small highlights.

Step 5

Gently shade the tear duct area.

Step 6

With a pencil 2B, further shade the above area. Using the same pencil, add a gentle shadow under the lower eyelid. This will separate the eye from the eyelid.

Step 7

Take a pencil HB to shade the edges of the eyelids. Don't forget about the location of the light source!

Step 8

Line up the shaded area with feathering.

Step 9

Using the same technique, shade the rest of the skin around the eye. Draw with a slanted pencil to capture a large area at once and also avoid hard lines

Step 10

Take a pencil 2B to add shadows where needed.

Step 11

Take a pencil 4B to further darken the shadows.

Step 12

Finally, take a pencil 5B to further darken the crease of the upper eyelid.

4. How to Draw Eyebrows and Eyelashes

Step 1

Take a pencil HB to draw the direction of the eyebrow hairs.

Step 2

Take a pencil 2B to draw the hairs one by one. The hairs don't have to be sharp - their width will depend on the scale of your image. Tilt the pencil, if necessary, to achieve denser strokes.

Step 3

Take a pencil 4B to thicken the front lower part of the eyebrow.

Step 4

With a pencil 2B, apply the outline of the direction and shape of the eyelashes. However, before you begin, look in the mirror and try to understand what you see. Eyelashes are curved in nature, and their shape depends on the perspective. They fall slightly down, right from the edge of the upper eyelid, and then curve upward.

Step 5

In the same way, add eyelashes to the lower eyelid.

Step 6

Eyelashes tend to stick to each other, creating a tight tuft.

Step 7

With a pencil 4B thicken your lashes by adding more hair between them. Eyelashes do not grow in one thin row! Also, adjust the width of the eyelashes according to the scale of the image.

Step 8

Take the softest pencil, make sure it's well-sharpened, and then emphasize some areas of the lashes.

Step 9

The drawing is almost complete. Look at it from a distance and also try to see how the shading can be improved. Use all pencils for this task.

Step 10

Finally, add small parts to make the drawing more realistic: thin veins in the eye area, including small wrinkles around the eye. You can make the skin more uneven by simply applying rows of thin cross lines.

If you decide to digitize your drawing to publish it on the Internet, then do not forget to pre-prepare it:

What About the Other Eye?

I will tell you a secret: there should be no “other eye”. When you draw a portrait, then draw both eyes at the same time, step by step. This way you will simply draw both eyes without copying them one by one. And the good news is that they don't have to be absolutely identical - our faces aren't exactly symmetrical!

In this lesson, we'll look at natural eye drawing basics in profile, sideways and closed. Then we'll learn draw anime eyes characters in different angles, and also consider the examples different styles eye.


The eyes are the window to the soul...

After all, it is they who make all people unique, showing our inner world. And in order to draw them correctly, we will cover the basics.



Consider a photograph of the eye (front view).

This real eye middle aged person.

The eye has an almond-shaped shape, along the edge of which there are eyelashes of different lengths, and folds and wrinkles around the eyes emphasize the contours of the eyeball.



In the picture, I indicated in which direction, from the edge of the eye, the eyelashes go. Please note that the eyelashes are curved and of different lengths. I also indicated which long eyelashes are located around the eye (B-large eyelashes, M-small). Eyelashes tend to be higher in the center of the eye and smaller towards the ends of the eye, however long eyelashes can also be drawn at one end (which is further away from the nose).


Consider a photograph of the eye (side view).

Now the main shape of the eye is triangular instead of almond shaped.

Curved eyelashes and different lengths. In the side view, the location of the lengths of the eyelashes around the eye is more clearly visible (B-large eyelashes, M-small).





At the eye, half of the lower part of the almond-shaped shape is clearly visible, along the edge of which there are eyelashes of different lengths. Wrinkles on top of the eye emphasize the contours of the eyeball.

Eyelashes, longer in the center and smaller towards the ends of the eye (B-large eyelashes, M-small).



anime character eyes


Let's get acquainted with the basic shapes of the eyes.

With the help of the shape of the eyes, the individuality of the character is expressed. And also keep in mind that large eyes with large pupils are mainly suitable for girls and children, narrow eyes with small pupils for guys, men and women, and eyes drawn in one line for the elderly.



When drawing anime eyes, always start with the shape of the eyelashes. Having decided on the shape, draw two straight lines that intersect at one point and touch the edges of the upper lash shape. So we will define the contours of the apple of the eye. Then we complicate the eyelashes and draw the pupil.




If you want to draw a rounded eye shape, consider the following example.

At the base of such eyes, I always draw a circle first. Then I decide on the shape of the eyelashes and complicate them. After that, be sure to erase the auxiliary circle. Now I'm drawing the pupil.




Examples of eyes (front view) with different forms for familiarization.





Examples of eyes (side view) with different shapes for reference.



Basically there are two types closed eyes: Curl lashes up and down.

When the eyelashes are bent upwards, the emotion of happiness, joy and laughter is conveyed.

Eyelashes with a downward bend are drawn when they kiss, sleep, think, are in a calm state.


Examples of closed eyes (front view) with different shapes for reference.




Examples of eyes closed (side view) with different shapes for reference.



You can also see how the eyes change when drawing emotions by going to the lesson How to draw emotions.

This concludes my lesson! Hope it helps you in your work!

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 smooth lines join the corners together. 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 parallel line 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.


Face drawings, human eyes, portraits - this is the most complex view visual arts. Learn to draw a portrait of a person, human eyes, even with a simple pencil, requires not only time for training, but also talent. The complexity of drawing a portrait of a person lies in the ability to convey emotional condition a person, his facial expressions, the depth of his gaze, etc. The most important thing in a portrait is to correctly draw the eyes of a person.


The eyes in the anime drawing are the basis this style. All pictures of girls drawn in anime style are distinguished by huge eyes - black, blue, green. But definitely huge and expressive. To draw the eyes correctly, you must definitely do it in stages, since the eyes are the most important and complex element any drawing of a person.


When drawing a person, you must see the whole future image from the intended lines and you just have to draw them. IN fine arts the most important thing is not the accuracy of the proportions and lines of the drawing, but the image of the main, the most important. Very often for this it is enough to accurately draw eyes that will convey the mood and character of a person.


The lesson on how to draw a ballerina is designed for those who already know how to draw well, since drawing a person is not easy. Drawing a picture of a ballerina is especially difficult, because the drawing needs to convey the grace and grace of a ballet dance. But if you want to draw a ballerina, try it with us.


Pictures of Spider-Man attract with their dynamism and brightness. Spiderman's eyes are hidden behind a mask, with triangular slits for the eyes. But if you draw this character close-up, you will need to draw the eyes in more detail. To do this, you can use this lesson and draw the eyes accurately and correctly.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

At the top, the most high point will be closer to the lacrimal gland, and in the lower - 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 open 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 wear contact lenses, then you know exactly what in question. Do not draw the pupil at the edge of the iris.

Draw a person's face in profile

Glare and reflex

The glare will lie down in a rounded shape, a reflex is formed opposite the glare - a spot of 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

Beautiful expressive eye can be depicted without eyelashes, although it 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 length, and short ones are located next to the long eyelash. Naturally, in different people they are of different lengths and thicknesses, 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 in the same vertical line with the wings of the nose, no closer and no further (second part of the illustration).
