How to draw an eye with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Simple drawing for kids and beginners.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1:
Okay, to start, draw the basic almond-shaped outline of the eye. Try to make the inner corner (next to the nose) lower than the outer corner. P.S, I’m very sorry the pictures hard to see, my scanner made it very light.
Step 2
Inner Circle
Now draw the inner circle of the eye.
Step 3
Pupil and Highlight
Draw the highlight first, then the pupil under it. Make sure the pupil is in the center of the circle.
Step 4
Fill in the Pupil
Use your dark 6B or 8B to fill it in. You want it as close to black as possible.
Step 5
Upper and Lower Eyelid
Draw the crease of the upper eyelid, and the bottom one too. I’m not sure if its called the lower eyelid, but its the line under the eye.
Step 6
Begin Drawing the Eyelashes
Draw a few eyelashes to show where you will later draw in larger clumps of lashes. Kinda like a basic outline. Sort of.
Step 7
Darken a Few Things Up
Darken the inner circle in the eye, the outline of the eye, and draw a line in the inner corner (as showed in the picture)
Step 8
Lines and Lashes
Start filling in some more lashes, and add some lines inside the inner circle of the eye.
Step 9
Lines Lines Lines
Fill in some more lines lightly inside the circle

Step 10
Add even more lines! But this time use the darker pencil to make darker lines.
Step 11
Adding Some Depth
Okay, shade in the inside outer edge of the inner circle of the eye ( yes, that is a lot of words ). Use the darker pencil. This will add a lot of depth and roundness to the eye.
Step 12
More Depth!!!!
Alright, do what you did in the last step to the pupil. Also, add some more lines (depending on the lightness of the color of the eye) to make it a little darker in some areas.
Step 13
LASHES!!!!!
Now, really fill in the lashes with your darker pencil. If drawing a male eye, make the lashes a little lighter than if drawing a female eye. In this instance, I am drawing a female eye.
Step 14
Shading
Shade inside the eye, and it helps to smudge it with your finger tip or a tortilion. ( Hehe, I just realized how dark I shaded this eye, you can shade it a tad lighter than this.)
Step 15
Finishing Touches
Shade the corners of the eye, and the eyelids. YAY!!!!! your all done!!!!!!
