There is no denying that the eyes are one of the most distinctive features of an anime character. The eyes express emotion quite well, and they are often big and exaggerated to demonstrate what the character is feeling. Have you ever wanted to draw an anime character like a professional?
It all starts with the eyes. Here are a few easy steps to drawing an anime character’s eyes.
• Draw the upper and lower lash lines.
• First, draw a descending curved line for the upper lash line.
• Add a curved tail at one end, going down and back toward the other end of the line.
• The upper lash line should be C shaped.
• Create the line one third the length of the first curved line you drew.
• Then, make the upper lash in line thick and audacious together with your pencil.
• For the lower lash line, draw a short, ascending curved line centered under the first lash line you drew Sketch an oval between the lash lines.
• Hide the top and bottom.
• Draw the width at the thickest part of the oval, the same as the length of the lower lash line.
• This portion will be the iris of the eye.
• Draw a small circle close to the top of the oval.
• Place the circle off to one side.
• You will leave this circle white, and it will look like the eyes are glistening.
• Create the circle about one-tenth of the size of the oval.
• Add a smaller circle close to the bottom of the oval on one side, then the other.
• When you are finished with your drawing, this circle will look like it is glistening too.
• Make a smaller oval within the first one and fill it in for the pupil.
• Add the eyelashes.
• Fill in the picture with colored pencils if you want and have fun!
