A
step-by-step diagram on how to draw the eye.
- Draw the
outline in first. Notice that the shape of the iris is round
on the sides (it is a round circle) but its top is obscured
by the upper eyelid, and a little bit of the bottom of the iris
is obscured by the bottom of the eyelid.
- After
you get the shape correct, start to draw in the light outline
of the lower eyelid thickness. Draw in the pupil (which is round)
and indicate where the highlight on the eye will be.
- Then start
to add shading and detail. Keep the indication of the lower
lid light and subtle. Make a few subtle lines to indicate the
eyelashes.The upper lid will cast a gentle shadow on the eyeball,
so add shading to indicate the roundness of the eyeball. .

A
quick step-by-step of the eyebrow:
- The hair
of the eyebrow grows in different directions. Look at your own
eyebrows in the mirror!
- First
step is to draw in the outline of the eyebrow.
- Then draw
a line that indicates the "brow-line". This line is
often a shadow in the eyebrow. It shows where the brow "dips"
in towards the eye socket. Add some shading to this brow-line
shadow.
- Then start
shading the rest of the eyebrow. This part of the eyebrow is
on the upper part of the brow-line, which is jutting out a little
more. It will be a little lighter.
- Then,
start to darken the eyebrow, and add more details and hairs
to the eyebrow.
