Figure Drawings - Eyes -

Drawing realistic eyes can be rather difficult as different people have different eye shape. Some have slanted eyes, squinted eyes, big eyes and many more. Another problem is to draw the iris of the eye. In general, the human's eye resemble the shape of a lemon. Also different people have different eyebrow and eyelash shape. Some are thick and some are thin.

Proportions

• The upper eyelid can be divided into three parts.
• The pupil is located in the middle of the eyeball
• The iris is made up of radial lines with the pupil at it's center. 
• The eyebrow is located just above the eyelids.

Shade

• To shade the eyeball is just the same as when you shade a regular ball. With dark color on the bottom and light color at the top, depending on how strong the light is and the direction of the light.
• The iris can be shaded in a circular or radial way to make it more realistic.
• The lashes and the brows can be shaded by scratching short lines on the eyelids and above the eyelids. Tonal value must be played to make it more realistic.
