Step-by-Step Eye-Drawing Tutorial

I've heard from friends and other artists that they struggle when trying to draw a character's eye. I created this simple tutorial, and I hope it will be useful to someone who may be facing this same dilemma. This tutorial doesn't show how to create an anime-style eye, but one that lies between cartoon-like and realistic.

Step 1

Draw a simple line that is arched a bit at the top but circular for the most part.

Step 2

Draw a similar shape on the bottom side.

Step 3

Draw the center and corner of the eye similar to the way it looks above.

Step 4

Start adding little details like the pupil (black in the center) and the glare on the eye.

Step 5

The iris should have a little detail. Draw in lines all around the eye.

Step 6

Draw in the top part of the eyelid as it appears above.

Step 7

Draw in some eyelashes!

Step 8

Add a thin eyebrow, and then you're done! There you have it folks, a female eye!
