Hey! Your art is honestly so incredible! If it’s not too much trouble, do you mind giving some tips on drawing eyes?

Oh my gosh ty but I’m actually the worst at drawing eyes … I just BS my way through them as fast as I can every single time!! Here are a few tips that come to mind though:

1) The shape of an eye changes greatly with the angle of the head! I think of the eye as a sphere and rectangle in a 3D space and draw the eye from there, instead of just a fixed almond shape every time. This way, I don’t need to rely on references too much either.

2) This doesn’t apply for all eye shapes, but generally the highest point on the eye is close to the middle of the face/inner corner of the eye and the lowest point is located near the edge of the face/outer corner. Keeping this in mind usually helps me with simplifying eyes and different eye angles!

And here’s my typical process for painting an eye:

1) Flat colours underneath a sketch

2) Merge the layers and render (blend)

3) Details!

This isn’t completely conclusive but I hope this helps you in some way! If you have any other questions just lmk :)
