My First Blog: Anime Fundamentals -- Eyes

Hi everybody! For the next few weeks, I am going to be showing you how to draw the basics of anime. I will be showing you guys how to draw eyes, hair, faces, and bodies. I hope you enjoy my blog and that you learn something useful about drawing anime.


Week 1: Eyes



Step 1: Start out with a small sketch of a square. Add a thick semi circle opening downwards near the top of this box. Then add a smaller curve a couple of centimeters lower opening upwards. This is going to be the circle where the eye is going to be lying on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2: Draw an oval which starts from the top semi circle, and ends a little above the lower curve. In that oval draw a smaller oval with the top missing. This is going to be the pupil.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3: Erase the box. Then above the original semi circle add a small curve above it that is half of its size. After that, add lines that extend from each side of the first two big semi circles. Finally, add a few small circles near the pupil: this will make it seem like the eyes are glistening.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4 (Shading): Start by outlining the bottom of the eye. After that, start shading the bottom of your original semi circle. Once you have done that, shade in the pupil. When that is completed, shade the top of the eye dark, and go lighter as you are going down. Make sure not to shade the small circles we drew. You can be creative when shading or coloring.

 
Most importantly, make it your own and have fun with it! I hope you enjoyed my tutorial on how to draw an anime eye.
