How to Draw Eyes

  • This tutorial gives you a basic look at the shapes and anatomy needed for drawing realistic eyes. Make sure to watch my other tutorials on facial features!
    In this video, I am using a Prismacolor Ebony drafting pencil, but you can use any kind of pencil - plain old HB pencils work great! Try to stay within the HB-2B range for general sketching. Too hard of a graphite (the higher the H, the harder the graphite) is really light and can indent the paper easily if you press too hard. The higher the B, the softer the graphite, which will create darker marks!
    *This video is also on my classroom channel, DGFMSArt

      Plain&Cynical I'm the opposite actually, it's a *very* unusual but affective method for most. This doesn't help me becuase I have been drawing for so long my own personal method can give the same result, but I'm just used to my way :)

    I found your teaching style super-effective. You are able to show a clear picture of what you're doing while explaining concisely. More than that, you seem to approach the eye differently than other instructors I've seen. In such a way that the tear duct falls into place automatically. That has been the bane of my existence for awhile now. Today I drew along with you and noticed I had drawn a tear duct without planning to. I also followed along on your nose video with fantastic results. The lip video is more challenging. Thank you so much. I'm hoping you continue to teach.

      @jesciahopper  Před 7 lety +8

      There are a lot of things that I struggle with drawing! That's completely normal to be comfortable or skilled at drawing certain things, but not others. It's really a matter of practice. You have to challenge yourself to work on things that are difficult, and that is what makes you grow and develop as an artist. Hope that helps!

    • @jesciahopper
      @jesciahopper  Před 7 lety +8

      I've always loved drawing people, so I think it was really years of practicing and refining as I was growing up. I didn't have art class to teach me, or CZcams, so it was just looking at things and trying to figure out how to do it... It definitely didn't happen right away!
      As for art supplies, I usually buy them through a local art store, dickblick.com, or Michaels.

    What paper and pencil are you using?

      +Darren Asmoro Plain drawing paper (nothing fancy) and a Prismacolor Ebony pencil. However, you don't need anything fancy. A regular HB pencil works just fine!

    If you can do hands I would appreciated so much. Hands are the worst for me I just can't seem to get them right no matter what.
