Method One: A Large Eye
1.
Sketch a long curve. Then draw another shorter curve opposite the first. Add slightly curved lines down from each end. This is the basic eye. The haut, retour au début curve is typically thicker than the bottom. Notice the mini-line at the end of the haut, retour au début eyelid. This is a characteristic of the animé style.
2.
Make a large white cercle pointing in the direction your character is facing. Add another small cercle on the bottom corner. Typically, the haut, retour au début shine is larger than the bottom one. toi can add plus white spots if toi like.
3.
Eyelashes. If your eye is on the left, make the lashes point toward the right side, if it's on the right side, make it point toward the left. Eyelashes in animé are plus bold and less feathery than realistic drawings. toi can also add smaller lashes on the bottom curve if toi like.
Also, draw a thin line slightly above the thick curved line toi did in the beginning. This indicates the eye socket and gives the eyes plus depth.
4.
Shade In. haut, retour au début to bottom. Dark to light. In the middle of the eye, shade a darker circle, for the pupil.
Method Two: A Woman's Eye
1.
Draw the elegant curve for the eyelashes.
2.
Draw a partial oblong (not closed) that touches ou overlaps the eyelashes.
3.
Draw partial oblongs in the middle of the oblong in Step 2. This is for the eye’s pupil.
4.
Draw two small horizontal ovals – bigger at the left than at the right. Draw another brushed curve for the eyelashes but smaller than the first and add another small curve that extends from the small eyelashes.
5.
Draw another brushed curve for the eyebrow, thicker at the right.
6.
Refine, then trace with a pen, and erase unnecessary lines.
7.
Color like anime!
Method Three: A Man's Eye
1.
Draw two brushed curves which are thinner at the left. The upper curve is also thicker than the one below it.
2.
Draw a half cercle with a small cercle at the middle. Draw near the left end.
3.
Draw curves to emphasize the skin surrounding the eye.
4.
Draw a brushed curve that is even varies in thickness – thickest at the middle and thinnest at the left end. This will be for the brow.
5.
Trace with a pen and refine.
6.
Color to your heart’s delight!
Tips
The plus toi practice it the better toi get at doing it.
Remember, there is no single correct way to draw animé eyes. Add your own styles, shapes sizes, etc.
Eyes hold a lot of character, so spend some plus time on them.
When drawing the eyes, make sure they aren't too big. If they end up to big, they may cause all of the attention to go to the eyes. Plus it wouldn't look right if the eyes took up too much l’espace on the face.
Don't make too many shiny spots, the average is 2, but don't be afraid to add more, although making 5 shiny spots is stretching a point. No shiny spots also helps if toi are trying to make your character sleepy, feeling faint, possessed/hypnotized, etc.
Pick the right colors. Eyes are normally one basic color with many accompanying shades, and another relative colour. (Ex. Brown eyes with a bit of yellow, ou blue eyes with some turquoise.)
These eyes montrer a fully awake, very energized, happy expression. To get that drowsy, just out of lit look, draw the eyes a little bit closed and ( if toi want) draw dark circles under the bottom eye area.
Ask other people to look at your drawing. Different perspectives from different people help spot mistakes.
Make sure the eyes montrer what emotion ou how he/she feels. For example if the character is feeling mad make sure toi draw the eye brows at angles.
These eyes are best done only for females. Draw these eyes plus closer to the bottom ou chin to give it a "cute" look to your animé character. Drawing the eyes away ou father makes it plus of a boy ou adult look and is perfect for drawing guys/boys.
