video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Hi guys , my name is Marcel and today I'm making a video about something all of you wanted so bad .

You asked me basically every day about this .

So today's video is going to be a tutorial on how to draw noses .

Yeah .

Um OK .

Yeah , today's video is about drawing eyes .

Of course , I'll show you how to draw basic eyes , eyes from different perspectives , stylized eyes and some tips and tricks .

You guys know my channel by now , I make all of these videos completely by myself .

These tutorials are insanely hard to make .

It takes a lot of time and effort and that's why I have a sponsor for this video .

As you might know , I have a website where you can read all about and buy my manga series and art book .

And there are probably some artists out there that maybe also want to sell their art online with an online shop or just want to have a website in general .

That's where today's sponsor comes into play because XI helps you to make professional looking websites with integrated online shops .

Even if you have no idea about coding or websites , it's super fast loading and it's easy to use .

And even if you don't know anything about , you can just use a preinstalled template and customize it yourself .

Since most of this is just drag and drop , you can import your artworks super easy .

So it's also a good idea if you're looking for a way to make a portfolio and just in case you're having any trouble , there's a 24 7 customer support ready to help you out .

And the best part if you use the code drawing like a sir , you get a home page for free for three months and from there on out , you get 86% off .

So yeah , go ahead , click the link in the description .

I'm pretty sure if you're looking to make a website or an online shop , this might be the right thing for you .

This was my very first ever sponsorship on this channel .

Many companies asked me to make sponsorships for some mobile games , but I think that's kind of dumb .

That's why I refused them all .

But I think Zara is a cool thing to tell you about .

I for myself , always wanted to have my own website as a kid .

So I see how that's something you might be interested in .

And now enough of that , let's finally start with drawing eyes .

Let's go .

First of all , let's learn how to draw a regular eye before we learn how to draw a stylized one .

Don't worry , drawing the eye isn't as complicated as other anatomy parts because we're actually just drawing a very small part of the whole eye .

Like I'm doing it in every tutorial of mine , I'm splitting the eye part into its most basic components .

And because we're only drawing this small part of the eye and instead of the whole eyeball , the guideline is gonna be very simple as well .

And yeah , drawing the eye this way isn't something new pro artists use these guidelines for ages .

Now , of course , it's not gonna stay like this .

You first want to smoothen out the shape .

So it looks a bit more natural right after that , you want to draw this part here a bit darker because there are generally more eyelashes there .

That's why this is the overall darkest part of the eye .

It doesn't matter what side the eye is drawn .

Let's leave the details for later because what you all probably want to know most is how to draw the iris .

Because if you draw the iris wrong , your character might look like he needs an exorcism .

A rule of thumb that I have is to draw the iris .

So that just one quarter of it is covered , but just watch out when it comes to the pupil , please .

Because if you draw a pupil too small , your character might just look like a serial killer .

So always draw a pupil a bit bigger and for a good measure , shake the top half of the eye .

That way you can avoid drawing the infamous crazy eyes .

But other than that , go ahead and add some details in the IRS , for example , just like I'm doing right now .

Also , you can add some highlights .

You can use any old eraser for that you have laying around .

I'm using an eraser pen because it's more convenient if you want to know where I get my art supplies from .

There's a whole list on my website .

So check out my website if you want to read into all of my pencils and papers and stuff for of the perfectionists out there .

There are a couple of details you can still add , maybe you already know this , how people are always drawing in a wrinkle right above the eyelid .

That's because of the hole in your skull .

This is where your eyelid actually starts .

So , yeah , if you ever need a reminder of how this wrinkle works and how it looks , it's basically running along your skull eye hole talking about the eyeball as you might know the eyeball ends here .

So most people leave this part out , but I'll just draw the for the people that are interested in it .

If you want , you can add some more eyelashes , maybe some wrinkles here and there .

But other than that , let's stop with the details for now because we are not drawing a hyperrealistic eye here .

If you want to have a tutorial on that , you can just look it up on youtube .

The search results have more eyes than the fucking before we start drawing stylized eyes .

Let's draw eyes in perspective .

First .

As an example , we're drawing eyes in a three quarter view .

And right after that , we're drawing one from the side .

So let's start with a three quarter view .

This might not surprise you .

But in order to make this work , you kind of have to know how perspective and for shortening works , maybe you can even remember my video .

But for shortening and this video , I said that objects that are further away from you got smaller but objects that are closer to you get bigger , of course , that's kind of common sense .

But I think that people still forget this applies to pretty much everything else as well .

Yes , even when it comes to drawing ice .

So let me show you how I for shorten an eye , it's just like I said before , the part that's facing away from us gets smaller .

Now you have the correct guideline and this is where you draw in the shape of the eye just like you did before .

And from here on out , it's the exact same procedure as before does the both the part at the eyelashes .

Of course , there's the iris , the wrinkle on top of the eyelid and maybe you can see the a bit and just be careful when it comes to the IRS .

There's a big mistake .

A lot of beginners make here .

Now , pop quiz if the iris wasn't looking at us , but let's say in this direction , would you still draw it the exact same way ?

The short answer is no , and the long answer would be no , I drew the iris here .

It looks our way .

You cannot not just draw the same circle a bit further on the left and call it that , that's not how an eye works .

Let's look at this more three dimensional .

If the I were to rotate to the side , then as you can see , the IRS would look a lot slimmer .

You need to keep this in mind when it comes to drawing eyes from different perspectives .

This is incredibly important .

And while we're at the topic of different perspectives , if you want to draw ice from other angles as well , you just need to take the guideline we used .

And for shortening record , you can take a screenshot of this for reference or you just wait until the end of the video , there's gonna be a more comprehensive cheat sheet .

As always , let's draw another perspective from the side .

We're only drawing one half of the eye .

So we only really need one half of the guideline .

And what I showed you before with the iris comes into play here , the iris is by the very thin oval shape .

Also very important .

Your pupil is right in the middle of the iris , not on the outer side .

And the rest with the eyes and lashes and so on .

The stuff that you already know about .

I I know I know you still have dozens of questions left .

For example , how do you draw eyes in an actual face ?

How are the proportions in comparison to the nose and so on .

The bad news is I'm not gonna talk much about this since this is less about drawing eyes and more about drawing a complete face .

But the good news is I've already made a video about how to draw a face with eyes in different angles .

And this video draw eyes as oval shapes to keep things simple .

You just need to replace them with the guidelines that you've learned in this video .

If you're interested in watching the whole video , just check it out .

I've linked it on the top right corner .

So where did we leave off ?

Oh Right .

Yeah , I wanted to show how to draw stylized eyes because you definitely don't want your characters to look like that .

When we wanted to draw realistic eyes , we needed this shape .

But like you just saw these kinds of eyes don't really fit with every face .

And that's why some artists stylize their eyes and they do so with every kinds of different shapes .

For example , when you want to draw anime or cartoon eyes , it's always helpful to first base it off of a shape and this doesn't have to be the same shape from the beginning , this can also be a circle or many under different shapes .

I think the most common one though is probably a Rambus doesn't matter if you're drawing an edge , Lord or the king of games himself , especially anime eyes are often based off of this form .

But there's still a reason why we drew more natural eyes first .

That's because all of the rules I told you before in this video still apply here .

For example , the iris is still covered by about one quarter .

And yes , the eyelid wrinkle is still at the same height .

Also as you can see the same part of the eyes are bolder at the very same parts .

So it doesn't matter what style you draw in because all the same rules still apply .

And yes , this also goes for drawing stylized eyes in different angles .

Yeah , admittedly some eyes require a bit more imagination , but it still works with the same principle .

They all work just like previously shown .

One big difference .

However , is the amount of details with ST lighter eyes .

You seldomly see a lot of wrinkles or single eyelashes , for example .

However , this is not a blanket statement .

Every artist stylizes in his or her own way and some like it more and some like it less detailed by the way , this also goes for highlights , some artists draw in regular highlights , other prefer more highlights .

And then there are artists that draw what the fuck I like how versatile , this can get , you can recognize some artists just by looking at the ice they draw and by experimenting a bit when it comes to shapes , this could be a first step in developing your very own drawing style , starting with the eyes and just like I always do , I drew a cheat sheet with all the relevant details .

And yes , you may take a screenshot of this .

If you want everything I want to have in route one would be a thumbs up and also a subscription if you would be so kind , if you're still having problems with drawing other things like drawing muscles or perspective , why not check out my other stuff ?

I've already made tutorials on a lot of different topics .

So go ahead and check them out well done .

My name is Marcel and I'll see you guys in my next video here on my channel .
