Stars Portraits - Eye-draw

Draw some outlines

See where the darkest parts are, and darken


them.

This is roughly how I draw


irises:
Again, shade the darkest parts first!
Then, shade the rest of the eye. Try and create
some depth.

Blend the whole iris with either a tortillion, or


a wadding stick (those things you can use to
clean your ears)

Repeat this process a few times.

Grab your kneadable eraser and try to create a


sharp point to make the iris look less "empty".
Make some more highlights, continue until
you're satisfied.

The white parts of the eye


obviously aren't all that white,
so...
First roughly reflect the darker and lighter
parts.

Use a tortillion or a wadding stick to blend.

Because the last step obviously looked too


dark and flat, add some highlights with the
kneadable eraser.
Let's shade the upper eyelid!
Again, start by drawing the darkest area.

Like I did all the time, it's all about realistic


shading. An eyelid has lots of different
shades...

Use a tissue to blend the eyelid. It obviously


still looks kind of flat, but I'll draw the lashes
before adding more highlights

It's time to draw a few eyelashes


(and I'll show you where to start)
To determine where to draw the lashes above
the lower eyelid, shade this tiny part of the eye
first. Pencil, followed by a tortillion...
Upper lashes! Try and make them look like
bows. Also, they're never all the same length.
Keep that in mind.

Draw some lower lashes. They don't have to be


all that realistic yet...

The part between the upper


eyelid and the eyebrow's fun to
draw. Awesome shading!
Like I did all the time... Light pencil strokes
that are kind of close together.

Use a tissue to blend.


Repeat this process a few times. Don't be
afraid to use darks!

I'm ready to draw the eyebrow...


First, draw the most noticeable lines.

Then, shade the rest and blend the whole thing.


Use a mixture of different tools and see what
looks best!
As you can see, I'm starting to
shade anything that looks "flat",
"missing" or "empty" at this
point.

While I'm doing that, I feel like it's time to


shade underneath the eye.
Like I've explained before...

Blend, and draw the most noticeable lines.


Shade the darkest parts beneath the eye. Try
and give it extra realism / depth by adding a
few "wrinkles" : some thin lines that aren't
supposed to be blended.

Repeat the last step... I also added some


shading where the nose is supposed to "start"

Of course, above the eyebrow,


shading is needed aswell...
No explanation needed.
Blend using a tissue...

One last touch and we're FINISHED!
