"Drawing the Human Eye" by Katherine Dinger



 

UPDATE: I posted this tutorial on a public forum and the feedback I got from it was awesome. Other artists decided to throw their own steps in and take my unfinished eye to whole other level. I wanted to include these steps because they pull everything together very well. Thank you so much to everyone that contributed!

 

Step 8 - By Loki - I took the freedome and went quickly over your eye. Here's what I added:

* Harder shadow from the eyelid - helps defining the eye

* Highlights in the white part of the eye / pseudo enviroment reflection - since the eye is wet, it picks up quite a bit from the enviroment.

* Detail in the pupil. Just for fun

* more wetness and redness in the corners of the eye

* sharpened the edges of the iris - since it's a hole with a sharp edge

What I didn't do is correcting the overall shape, since one would treat and shade the eye as a part of a sphere (rest is hidden by eyelis & skull) with a little sphere on top (the pupil/lens). Very nice painting though Jez - made me want to play with it. :)

Step 9 - By Freddio and Sweetpea - I added a bit of stuff also, got a bit more depth into it more contrast also so the highlights look better. (Freddio). i couldn't help it.. the lack of lower eyelashes was driving me crazy. :P here's some lower lashes: (Sweetpea):
Step 10 - By Lunatique - Luna added a lovely eyebrow to finish it off. :) :
