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 topo, início curve is typically thicker than the bottom. Notice the mini-line at the end of the topo, início eyelid. This is a characteristic of the animê style.
2.
Make a large white círculo pointing in the direction your character is facing. Add another small círculo on the bottom corner. Typically, the topo, início shine is larger than the bottom one. You can add mais white spots if you 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 animê are mais bold and less feathery than realistic drawings. You can also add smaller lashes on the bottom curve if you like.
Also, draw a thin line slightly above the thick curved line you did in the beginning. This indicates the eye socket and gives the eyes mais depth.
4.
Shade In. topo, início 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 or 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 círculo with a small círculo 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 mais you practice it the better you get at doing it.
Remember, there is no single correct way to draw animê eyes. Add your own styles, shapes sizes, etc.
Eyes hold a lot of character, so spend some mais 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 o espaço 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 you 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, or blue eyes with some turquoise.)
These eyes show a fully awake, very energized, happy expression. To get that drowsy, just out of cama look, draw the eyes a little bit closed and ( if you 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 show what emotion or how he/she feels. For example if the character is feeling mad make sure you draw the eye brows at angles.
These eyes are best done only for females. Draw these eyes mais closer to the bottom or chin to give it a "cute" look to your animê character. Drawing the eyes away or father makes it mais of a boy or adult look and is perfect for drawing guys/boys.
