Description Well, as it says. I have finally finished this! In a year or two I might even do a more proper fur tutorial.

So - the two tutorials included can be found in my gallery beckykidus.deviantart.com/gall… together with other hopefully useful stuff.

The photos of the cat eyes come from pixabay.com
The deer eye drawing is my own, found here: Red Deer Buck (portrait in graphite)
The wolf eye drawing is also my own, found here: Wolf portrait IV - Dreaming of a better future
The leopard eye is from unsplash, credits go to AurΓ©lien - Designatic

Also, if you have something you want included here, tell me!

Hope someone finds this useful

It is quite a detailed guide to drawing, one that will definitely help me and plenty of others who don't have quite as much experience or resources from which to learn.

Of course, it would be more appropriate to title this How To Draw Eyes of Mammals, as insects, fishes and amphibians have slightly different eyes, for what I have seen (and perhaps birds too), but that just a small detail and as most artists (from my experiences) favour mammals, it's a good enough guide. Perhaps not complete, but definitely filled with detail and a helpful set of drawings to illustrate the steps.

Unlike with some, here I can clearly see what has been done and it's a good thing that you've decided to focus on something specific. Then again, I haven't seen many How To's on deviant art, which makes this piece stand out. In spite of this, there are other artist's guides out there covering the broader area of drawing mammals (albeit for money, which is unfortunate, but we all need something to live off), therefore I think it's fair to mark you down a little on originality.

Otherwise, well done and thank you for the guide. I've enjoyed reading it, as you've provided the reasons behind your steps in both words and drawings and it's written and drawn out understandably.

This will be helpful to anybody trying to learn how to draw eyes like these for animals or anthro characters! It's easy to read and easy to understand. Figuring out how to draw animal eyes is hard (for me anyways), so I think that this is excellent. I love how you did the layout, showing the different types of eyes animals have, and explaining how the placement of highlights was extremely useful! I have trouble figuring that out and found this to be a great reference. I am very thankful you posted this and hope you will post more like this!
