Learn how to draw the eye, step-by-step.
Did these probably a year or so ago. I’m now getting back into drawing again, and trying to be more consistent .
Here's my drawing I did while watching the real-time demo (and pausing a lot of time!). I used F, 4B and 6B pencils.
Hey, this is my very first try at drawing eyes. Started the course yesterday. Any feedback?
Here is my first attempt at eye exercises from the portrait fundamentals. Feedback is very much appreciated.
First image is with graphite 4b on grainy paper - second was an earlier drawing with charcoal pencil on news print.
Here is my drawing let me know if you have any advise would apreciate
French btw
Hey there community,
first time I post something I have painted. I would really appreciate feedback regarding the four eyes below. I practiced to get the proportions right lately but struggle on shading shadows etc. I felt also very exhausted when I finished one of these (one to two hours). Any tips on this?
I feel exhausted and struggle to sit through a few hour drawing session as well. Take a break, get up and do some chores, make a snack, go for a walk, do some yoga, etc. It's also like any other form of endurance: your body will get stronger and used to it over time (even though you think it's just your brain and arm, how can it be that hard? It really is the same as a strength building routine - I say this as someone who works out and draws/paints haha).
If you're using a regular writing pencil, there is a limit to how dark those go. You can come in and emphasize the darkest regions with a ballpoint pen or marker (ballpoint pen is going to give you more ability for shading than a black marker which is going to only give you a flat black tone).
I noticed that the eyes seem too wide open, and maybe a bit big, in all of these. I think that is our brain's natural tendency to 'normalize' or 'iconize' things. E.g., our brains subconsciously like to think of an eye as an icon of an eye, so when you draw one you may think about what you're drawing more than observing the actual abstract shapes. Try not to think of an eye (or any body part) as that body part, instead focus on the abstract shapes and angles that they form.
I resized & traced over the photograph to give you a comparison.
