How to draw REALISTIC EYES

Comment Written by Figure Drawing on May 18, 2010 – 7:30 am

Here is a simple Eye Drawing video.

I Like It:

• The finished Eye is quite convincing.
• The Start feels almost childish but ends up being a sophisticated approach
• Great use of rubbing to blend the shadows.
• It’s not too long.

Learning from this:

• Notice How the Artist puts in the initial marks to get the proportions correct.
• Working with a gray format instead of white.
• Digital painting is just as hard as other media.
