Description Reblog on my Tumblr

I've seen a lot of eye tuts on dA...at least, what seems like tutorials, but a lot of them are simply either step-by-step or just a bunch of different styles of eyes in different angles. None of them really explain how the eyes look the way it does, why the eyelids casts that shadow on the eyeballs, etc. At least, none that I've seen

I hope this gives you guys a more in-depth look to the human eye and the structure surrounding it. This actually took quite a long time, so i hope you guys like it . Rendering the eyes took a LOT longer than simply sketching them D;.


If you have any more questions, feel free to ask .

here's the step-by-step put into gif so it's easier to see:


here are the skull studies I did back a few years ago:


My other tutorials:


My other works:


I put some anime eyes in the references too, hope you guys don't mind, hahaha.

ps. i put it in traditional art catagory because it's the only one with the subsection "anatomy" in it. I'm not sure why digital art can't teach anatomy either, but you'll have to ask dA about that. xD;;.

PPS: I did this in Painttool SAI

Thank you for the tutorial. Recently I have been trying to draw more realistic eyes and the set with the eyes looking toward something is super helpful because I can see what the eyelashes are suppose to look like compared to flat.

Its the first one on eyes and facial structure that made sense to me.

Freedom-of-my-Soul [2014-11-27 07:58:41 +0000 UTC]

this is actually a good explanation. I don't know how many people realize that your entire facial structure (not just your eyes but how your entire face looks), is affected by your skull. Very nice ~
