Step 1
Draw a circle Using an HB pencil, let’s start by drawing a circle. This circle represents the eyeball.
Step 2
Choose an angle How angled do you want the eye to be? Draw a line through the circle at the angle you prefer. Feel free to deviate from the examples above. Note: the left side of each circle is the inner side of the eye. This method is great if you’re drawing a pair of eyes on the same face.
Step 3
Draw the inner corner of the eye Time to draw the inner corner of the eye. You can use multiple shapes. Angular, pointed or rounded like the examples above and in the bonus section. For small or shallow corners, stay very close to the circle. For deep and wide corners, place it well outside the circle.
Step 4
Draw the upper eyelid Draw the upper eyelid while staying within the bounds of the circle. Imagine that the eyelid wraps around a sphere. The last example shows the right side of the eyelid wrapping around the eyeball with a large, steep curve. For almond-shaped eyes, you’ll want to stick with a slim football-shaped curve and the deepest part of the arc should be in the middle of the eyelid.
Step 5
Draw the lower eyelid Now draw the lower eyelid. Be sure to draw a slight bump near the inner corner of the eye and avoid pulling the eyelid too far from the line you created in step 2. For almond eyes, the arc of the upper and lower eyelids is very closely aligned vertically.
Step 6
Add a crease Draw the crease above the eye starting from the inner corner and working outward. The thicker the space between this line and the eye, the thicker the crease will be. You can freely imitate the curve of the top cover. This crease should not exceed the line you created in step 2, unless you draw wrinkles. For the hooded eye, you’ll want to bring the crease as close to the upper eyelid as possible. You can even overlap them or cut off part of the top cover. When drawing the crease, keep your lines fairly light. A dark crease will look really deep.
Step 7
Erase outlines Carefully erase your outlines. I used a hard tombow eraser to save time.
Step 8
Add some detail At the inner corner of the eye, draw a curve or two to separate the eyeball from the soft pink wattle. For iris sizing, a good rule of thumb is that the iris takes up about 2/4 of the eyeball (horizontally). Examples below: If you want to draw a perfectly shaped iris, draw a full circle, then erase the parts of the circle that stick out from the eyeball. This step should be done very lightly. Once you have the position and size you want, darken the outline of the iris.
Step 9
Shade your eye To shade and add more detail.
