<html> <p>Hello fellow artists, </p> <p>I created this eye tutorial a while ago, and I thought I would share it as my first post to Steemit. I hope it can help someone; I like doing these because, as a self-taught artist myself, it was this exact way that I learned how to get better. </p> <p>This will be the finished eye: </p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/SpwykqO.jpg"/></p> <p><br></p> <p>1. First, you want to draw the general outline of the eye and outline any highlights that you want to preserve the whiteness of the paper for:</p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/0LKDnKi.jpg"/></p> <p>2. Fill in the darker spots (shadows). I will put in the dark areas, then dab with a kneaded eraser to lift some graphite/charcoal up and do again. The goal is to layer the light and dark areas to create some texture/depth. Since the eye has a lot of "random" texture in it, this is a good way to accomplish that. </p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/OpZmXfE.jpg"/></p> <p>3. Blend it together with a brush (or people use q-tips), then use a kneaded eraser to pull some of it back out in random spots (or non-random highlight places). You're continuing to layer and create texture. </p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/DgvTQo9.jpg"/></p> <p>4. Continue to work the eye and put in some values around it. I've added more distinct shadows on the lip above the eye, in the corner of the eye, and in the eye itself. </p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/pXMn0x1.jpg"/></p> <p>5. The whites of the eye are rarely ever actually white, only portions of the white are - like where there is a highlight. Otherwise, there is almost always some kind of shadow cast across the eye - even though it may be a very faint shadow. Generally there is some almost pure white on the edges of the eye, either at the bottom lip or the corners where there is moisture and the light is reflecting off of it. </p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/GoP9MFM.jpg"/></p> <p>6. The goal of creating a good eye is first and foremost to have your proportions correct, and to create a lot of contrast between values. You want to have dark shadows and near white highlights. The highlights represent moisture. This is the finished eye:</p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/SpwykqO.jpg"/></p> <p>I was just messing around with the rest of the drawing, but this is the eye in the context of the rest of the drawing: </p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/TibKJrr.jpg"/></p> <p>I hope this helps, if you have any questions or comments, please ask away!</p> <p>You can also find me on instagram: twocatsguy</p> </html>

Nice post! I want to try to do this sometime, it looks fun. I bet it takes a lot of practice to get it looking like this.

thanks; it does take practice (obviously, everything does) but you might be surprised how fast you can do what I showed in my steps. You should definitely try it and you should post it on here and I can give you my feedback - I'm new to steemit so I'm not sure what the best way would be share it, maybe post it and then add my name in the comments? You should try it though.

Thanks for the encouragement! I might try it on the wacom tablet and see how it goes. I like to do a bunch on the computer with various software and combine different output. I might try paper and pencil too. I'll share if I can do anything worth sharing.
