Now we will look at the drawing lesson of one of the most important details. Eyes are a reflection of the soul. They are able to convey information non-verbally about a person, his mood, desires, thoughts. Let's start exploring
How to draw an eye with a pencil step by step
STEP 1. At the first stage we need to draw the shape of the eye. Although this is the first stage of the picture, it requires a lot of attention. After all, if the shape of the eye is not the same as you want, then the whole drawing will not look very pretty.
STEP 2. Now we draw the pupil. This is the hole in the iris through which light rays enter. The apple of the eye can contract with the help of the sphincter or expand with a dilator controlled by sympathetic fibers. I'll picture it fully expanded. Although this human condition is not natural. 
STEP 3. K large size The pupil is usually caused by emotional stimulation, pain, or the introduction into the body of symptomatic drugs (cocaine, amphetamines, adrenaline), hallucinogenic (like LSD), or anticholinergics. A glare is also visible on the apple of the eye - a reflection of light rays. One small round one just above the center and the second larger size located to the left (from the viewer's point of view). We need to add shadows. We'll add eyelashes later. 
STEP 4. Here we will add darkening in the pupil, which will give it depth and realism. I also added some shadow on the eyelashes and the top of the eyeball. 
Well, here is the final result:

How to draw a realistic eye with a pencil step by step
- Step 1
1. Sketch out a linear drawing with a hard pencil:
2. Look where the darkest areas should be (and darken them): - Step 2
3. Look again where the darkest areas of the iris should be:
4. Carefully examine the eye and begin to work out the shape with shadows, trying to create depth:
- Step 3
5. Shade the iris:
6. Repeat shading several times:
- Step 4
7. Using a nag (sculpting a sharp tip), try to rub a few light lines so that the iris does not look “empty”:
8. Work with the nag a little more until you are satisfied with the result:
- Step 5
9. The white of the eye is not so white, try to sketch out the light and shadow, highlighting the shape:
10. Blend using tortillon:
- Step 6
11. Since last stage looks too dark, use a highlighter to brighten it:
12. Let's start with upper eyelid, drawing the darkest area:
- Step 7
13. Basically, drawing an eye is a matter of realistic light and shadow:
14. Use a paper towel to blend the eyelid. It still looks a little flat, but we'll draw in the eyelashes before adding highlights to the eyelids:
- Step 8
15. Before drawing eyelashes, decide where they grow from:
16. Try drawing your upper eyelashes as curved as bows. And remember - they are different lengths:
- Step 9
17. Start working on your lower lashes. For now they may not be too realistic:
18. Using light strokes, we begin to work on the area between the eye and eyebrow:
- Step 10
19. Use a paper towel to blend:
20. Repeat the shading process several times and don't be afraid to shade:
- Step 11
21. Starting to work on the eyebrow, mark the most noticeable lines:
22. Darken the areas that you consider necessary and lightly blend. When shading, try different tools and choose the ones that suit you best:
- Step 12
23. At this stage, I begin to darken (and shade) everything that seems “flat” and “empty”:
24. We begin to work with the lower eyelid:
- Step 13
25. Work out and shade the most noticeable lines and areas:
26. You can add a little "realism" by drawing some wrinkles with pencil lines on top of the shading:
- Step 14
27. Repeat the last step several times. I added shadows where the nose is supposed to be:
28. Let's continue working:
- Step 15
29. Blend using a paper napkin:

How to draw a realistic girl's eye
- Step 1
Sketch the outline.
- Step 2
Take a soft brush and dip it into graphite powder (you can get it by sharpening a 5H pencil). Then we will cover our sketch with two or three layers of tone. The brush should gently shade and smooth the image. Try to avoid getting tones in the highlights on the iris. If graphite still gets on the highlight, clean this area with an eraser (knead).
- Step 3
Repeat the previous step using a smaller brush. Start shaping the outline of the eye by shading the areas that you want to be darker.
- Step 4
Using a nag, clean the areas that should be light.
- Step 5
Use a 2B pencil to outline the darkest areas, such as the pupil, darken top part iris and crease of the upper eyelid.
- Step 6
Use light pressure to draw the iris around the pupil (5H pencil).
- Step 7
Darken the iris using a 2B pencil.
- Step 8
Use a knead to work on the iris to soften the contrast. Add graphite as needed to create the desired tone. Let's move on to the white of the eye (pencil 2B). Draw eye shadow on the squirrel.
- Step 9
Now let's start working on the skin. We use an HB pencil. Use light circular motions to add color to the upper eyelid and under the brow bone. Start with the areas that you want to be darker (in this case, the skin near the crease of the upper eyelid) and work your way to the lighter areas. Use a paper napkin and a brush to smooth out any rough spots or spots.
- Step 10
Add skin tones in the lower eyelid area.
- Step 11
For now we continue to work with the HB pencil. Add shadows to the skin. Use 5H and 2B pencils to show the thickness of the lower eyelid and darken it.
- Step 12
Use an HB pencil. To show wrinkles, draw thin lines on the skin and then use a knob to create light lines next to the dark ones. Blend the paper using a brush to soften the lines. We use the same method on the highlight in the corner of the eye (Third eyelid). Draw an eyebrow. When drawing eyebrows, you need to keep the pencil sharp.
- Step 13
Draw eyelashes (pencil 2B). First, let's show the eyelashes on the outer edge of the upper eyelid. Start drawing from the root of each hair. Follow the direction of hair growth and lighten the pressure on the pencil so that each hair is thicker at the root and pointed towards the end. Show the reflection of the eyelashes on the highlight of the iris.
- Step 14
Now let's show the eyelashes on the outer edge of the lower eyelid. Note that the eyebrow and eyelashes located on the outer edge of the lower eyelid should be lighter than the eyelashes on the upper eyelid.
- Step 15
The work is ready.

Use two ovals to indicate the location of the eyes.
- Step 3
How to draw eyes depends on your personal preference. Therefore, use light lines to outline the cut you like.
- Step 4
Now move on to the rest of the details. Mark the contours of the bridge of the nose.
- Step 5
An important role in how to draw eyes is played by the direction of the gaze. Therefore, designate the irises so that the expression of the eyes is meaningful.
- Step 6
Then draw the pupils. Their size depends on the lighting: what brighter light, the more they narrow.
- Step 7
Eyeball It has a round shape, which is why it is visible above the eye shape.
- Step 8
The role of eyebrows should also not be underestimated. Draw them and give the look expressiveness/audience/joy or something else.
- Step 9
Use a softer pencil to correct the resulting unevenness and fill in the pupils.
- Step 10
Draw beautiful thick eyelashes, if the eyes belong to a woman. If you are drawing male eyes, you can skip this step.
- Step 11
Now draw the lower eyelashes.
- Step 12
Draw the eyebrows more specifically, clarify the shape of the irises.
- Step 13
You can shade the area of the upper eyelid with a hard, soft pencil.
- Step 14
I have already said that eyes and lips are the most important parts that a beginning artist needs to be able to draw on a person’s face. We have already depicted, now I will tell you how to draw a person’s eyes step by step with a pencil for beginners. Besides the fact that this is just part of the face, you need to understand that for each shape you need to depict different eyes. You also need to understand that the fullness of the eye and its color rendition can help you express your mood and mind. In fact, the eyes are the most difficult to draw, since they are mainly used to determine big picture. Has great value the pupil, eyelashes and corners of the eye, we will pay attention to these points and draw a more or less standard eye; novice artists usually train using this drawing.
We draw with a regular pencil, but if we draw with colored paints, we will have to work even more, since color rendering is a difficult moment in the picture. I provide you with a master class on step by step drawing human eyes.
We immediately draw the lower eyelid, two lines, an elongated horizontal one and a small semi-vertical one.
Now there are a lot of elements to draw. On both eyelids we immediately draw a few eyelashes; it is very good if they are drawn casually, for naturalness. Above the right eyelid we draw a semi-arc to complete the eye. And the most important thing at this step is to mark the boundaries of the pupil, a vertical arc on the right and a vertical arc on the left. On the left we even draw a small bulge, it is needed to diversify the eye and the pupil in particular.
Then we need to draw the pupil. On the left we make another arc, and it looks like the letter B. We draw a circle and in it another circle, sketch the central one. We also sketch the upper part of the pupil. And in the very central part it leaves a miniature oval not sketched. The direction of the lines with which we sketch parts of the eye is very important; they should be directed in different directions. For example, in the center of the pupil it is vertical, and just above the lines look diagonally down to the right.
Lightly draw all the lines of the eye and use very thin lines to sketch out the empty part of the pupil.
And also, it is advisable to first study another lesson -.
See the structure of the eye in the picture below.
Eyelashes should be thick at the root and thin at the tips.
How not to draw eyelashes, see below.
Draw the outline of the eye with light lines. Then use a 2H pencil to draw eyelashes. Each eyelash looks like a comma, only upside down. Draw from the contour of the eye while reducing the pressure on the pencil by bending the line, the line will become thinner. With a slight movement of the brush, tear the pencil off the paper when you finish drawing the eyelash.
Using a 2B pencil, draw more eyelashes so that they are thick. draw the outline of the iris, pupil and highlight.
Use a 6B pencil to draw the pupil. Using a 2B pencil, draw the iris of the eye. For this we use . Please note that the top of the eye area is darker than the bottom, and the sides are also darkened. Use an eraser to create a light area at the bottom, then draw a few lines to create texture.
Using cross-hatching, create gradient transitions on the white of the eye, while the edges and the top of the white should be darkened. Hatch the edges of the upper and lower eyelids; closer to the outer corner of the eye, the tone transition becomes darker. Draw some thin lines to create blood vessels.
In this lesson I will tell you how to draw an eye step by step. First, let's understand what the eye consists of; knowing all its components, you can easily achieve a realistic image of it.
Structure of the eye
We have analyzed the structure of the eye, let's move on to the drawing of the eye
Drawing an eye
Let's start with the pupil, you can use a circle or draw it freehand. We draw a larger circle - this will be our iris, and in it a smaller circle - the pupil.
Next stage. Draw the upper and lower eyelids. In order to do this correctly, let’s imagine that the shape of the eyelids resembles a fish. If we stretch our imagination a little, we should get something similar.
Draw a few highlights on our pupil - this will give the eye realism. Don't forget about the 3rd eyelid, about the thickness of the upper and lower eyelids. Once you are completely satisfied with the shape of our eye, we can forget about fish and fins.
An equally important detail in drawing an eye is the eyelashes. You need to understand for yourself exactly what shape your eyelashes are, in which direction they grow, and how not to draw them. Eyelashes are usually shaped like a reverse comma. They are thicker at the base and taper at the end. Eyelashes are never straight and of the same thickness, otherwise you will end up with rays of sunshine like children draw. Pay attention to how not to draw eyelashes and how to depict them correctly.
Practice separately until you get it right. Now let's move on to the direction of eyelash growth. On the eyelid, eyelashes usually grow in different directions depending on location. In the figure below I will show with arrows where and in which direction they grow. Do not forget that closer to the corner of the eye (3rd eyelid) the eyelashes decrease in size. Under no circumstances make them the same size, otherwise it won’t look believable.
In order to make our eyelashes look thicker, we stroke a little at half strength at the base of the eyelashes. This will give your eyelashes volume and thickness.
Let's move on to the tone, volume and realism part of our eye. In this lesson, our eye will be black and white in order to emphasize the basics and structures. Let's divide our eye into tones. The lightest part will be the highlight on the pupil. We will not touch it, but later we will completely erase its contours. Please note that the darkest thing in our eye is the pupil, then the eyelashes follow the tone, then the 3rd eyelid, the iris, and the lightest will be the white of the eye (don’t leave it white, it also has a tone).
To correctly apply the tone, I will mark with red lines where it should be applied so that you do not make a mistake. Remember that the highlight should remain pure white. The arrows indicate the direction in which your tone should weaken and merge with what you applied earlier.
You should get a similar image of the eye
Finally, add some contrast to your eye. If necessary, increase the tone where you applied it. If you wish, you can draw in volume the upper eyelid that covers the eye. This will give our eye even more volume and realism. Pay attention to the structure of the iris. Draw it, it will only be a plus for your eye.
