Step 1: First you must draw a thin line that is slightly curved like so. | |
Step 2: If you look you can see that the second line is straight. Don't draw it to far down though. | |
Step 3: Now you outline the iris. The iris is a perfect circle but the eyelids hide some of it. Also in any manga style I know, the entire iris is never shown unless the character is expressing a emotion such as anger e.t.c. | |
Step 4: Now you can draw the light glares (or shiny bits). Female characters have larger and/or more glares than male characters. We are drawing a female eye here. Also draw a small wrinkle above the uper eyelid. | |
Step 5: Now outline the pupil and draw in the eyelashes as the slashes
coming of the top right of the eye.
|
|
Step 6: now shade in the pupil dark and shade around the pupil a lighter shade, also note that the pupil and the lighter shade do not cover the glares whatsoever. Draw the eyebrow as well just like the line in step 1. Now smooth out the lines and darken them, if needed also make them a little thicker. | |
Male version of this eye style
Male eyes are more thin and are narrower then female eyes. Glares in male eyes are also not as big and they have darker thicker eyebrows. |
Step 1: Draw this curve by starting with the right side, notice that the eyelid is slightly thicker at the peak. Also the way this curve is drawn can affect the overall look of the completed eye. | |
Step 2: Draw the bottom eyelid, hmm hard isn't it. | |
Step 3: Draw either an oval or a large circle for the iris. I'll stick with a oval. | |
Step 4: Draw those damm cool light glares. | |
Step 5: Draw in their pupil. Note with any style never draw the pupil on top of the light glares. | |
Step 6: Draw the eyebrow like step one as shown and do your shadeing as before. | |
Male Version: As far as I know their is no way this eye suits a man. |
