Sad eyes pencil drawing. The eye takes on a real shape
And also, it is advisable to first study another lesson -.
We look at the structure of the eye in the picture below.
Eyelashes should be thick at the root and thin at the tips.
How not to draw eyelashes, see below.
Draw the outline of the eye with light lines. Then draw eyelashes with a 2H pencil. Each eyelash looks like a comma, only upside down. Draw from the contour of the eye while reducing the pressure on the pencil by bending the line, the line will become thinner. With a light movement of the brush, tear off the pencil from the paper when you finish drawing the eyelash.
With a 2B pencil, draw more eyelashes so that they are thick. draw the outline of the iris, pupil and highlight.
Draw the pupil with a 6B pencil. With a 2B pencil, draw the iris of the eye. For this we use . Please note that the top of the eye area is darker than the bottom, the sides are also darkened. Eraser to create a light area on the bottom, then draw a few lines to create texture.
Using crosshatching create gradient transitions on the white of the eye, while the edges and up of the white should be darkened. Hatch the edges of the upper and lower eyelids, closer to the outer corner of the eye, the tone transition becomes darker. Draw some thin lines to create the blood vessels.
This is a rather difficult lesson, so it may take you quite a lot of effort to repeat it. If the first time it was not possible to draw eyes, do not despair and try again. Try your best to complete this lesson. If, however, it still doesn’t work out, you can try to complete the lesson “”. But I believe that you will succeed.
What you need
Please note that this technology lesson and it can be done either in pencil on paper or in a graphic program.
In order to draw eyes, we may need:
- Paper. It is better to take a medium grain special paper: it will be much more pleasant for novice artists to draw on this one.
- Sharpened pencils. I advise you to take several degrees of hardness, each must be used for different purposes.
- Eraser.
- Stick for rubbing hatching. You can use plain paper rolled into a cone. She will rub the shading, turning it into a monotonous color.
- Graphic editor GIMP. You need to download GIMP for Win or Mac OS and install it.
- Download brushes for GIMP, they may come in handy.
- Some add-ons may be needed (instructions on how to install them).
- You need Photoshop software.
- A little patience.
- Good mood.
Step by step lesson
Different parts of the body and human organs should be drawn with a certain degree of realism. This is required academic drawing. Also, he strongly recommends drawing eyes from nature or, in extreme cases, from a photograph. This is the only way to achieve high realism and elaboration.
By the way, in addition to this lesson, I advise you to turn your attention to the lesson "". It will help improve your mastery or just give you a little pleasure.
All complex drawings must be created with forward thinking and vision. The subject should not only be a form on a sheet. You must draw it in volume, that is, creating from simple geometric bodies as if they are on top of each other: here is a ball on a cube, and here are two balls side by side. All living and non-living things on earth consist of these primitive forms.
Tip: sketch with as light strokes as possible. The thicker the strokes of the sketch, the more difficult it will be to erase them later.
The first step, or rather zero, is always to mark a sheet of paper. This will give you an idea of where exactly the drawing will be. If you place the drawing on half of the sheet, you can use the other half for another drawing. Here is an example of a sheet layout in the center:
The eyes of a person are a mirror of his soul, and the site already has lessons on drawing eyes, but they are more focused on the practice of “take and repeat” and do not carry any theory, and there are a lot of theories, so I decided to translate and compose a couple of foreign lessons.
In addition to theory, there is also a practice that will help to fill your hand. You need to draw either with a pencil on paper, or with the help of graphics tablet. The mouse here, unfortunately, will not work.
First of all, you need to turn to eye plastanatomy - use the drawing and terminology above. It is important for an artist to understand a few elementary things about the human eye.
Firstly, the eye is based on. The eye is spherical. When drawing the eye, you need to take this into account, creating the desired volume when building.
Secondly, depending on various factors, such as the depth of the eye socket, the presence of fatty tissue in it, hypo- and hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, the eyeball can lie at different depths. That is, the eye can be bulging, “toad-like”, or it can be located deep in the orbital cavity, shading by the supraorbital margin. In addition, the more loose adipose tissue around the eyes, the less clearly the border of the eye will be read. And vice versa - thin man this boundary will be clearly defined.
Third. The eyelid is not a flat skin fold. On its ciliary edge, it has a cartilaginous base. Accordingly, when drawing the eye, the eyelids should not be depicted as having no volume.
Fourth and last. The cut line of the eyes, its position in all people is absolutely individual. Not always the inner corner of the eye is lower than the outer one. It can be quite the opposite, or the corners can be at the same level.
So, it's a start. To all of the above, we can add that the lacrimal glands always keep our eyes moist, shiny, alive. We must not forget to emphasize this when depicting a living person, and omit it when drawing sculptures.
Something like this. Let's continue. As already mentioned, the eye is a ball. Let's build on that and build it on a sheet.
Imagine our eye as an orange. The orange peel is the eyelids. If you cut the peel in the shape of an orange slice, you get an analogy of the structure of the eye. The peel is the thickness of the eyelids with their bend, and the fruit itself is the eyeball. Only there is one more detail - the cornea. The transparent membrane that contains the iris and pupil. Look at the picture above - a third of the cornea is under the upper eyelid. Therefore, the central part of the edge of the upper eyelid will protrude slightly forward. The lower eyelid barely touches the cornea, or does not touch it at all and remains at the same level.
Meanwhile, this is far from all, in the outline of the eye there is more a large number of features. Including - superciliary arches, protrusions, eyebrows, glabella, its shape. Every element needs attention. It is necessary to carefully monitor the relief of the eye, taking into account promising reductions.
Here again, we can not do without enumeration.
It is necessary to define and mark the line (lines) of the superciliary arches. Horizontally, it goes down, obliquely in the outer edge of the orbital cavity, while shifting back, leaving the boundary of the transition of the planes in the temporal part. It is necessary to remember and pay attention to the protrusions located on the glabella and in the eyebrow area. These protrusions also need to be outlined, because in the plasticity of the shape of the eye, in addition to the eye itself, the supraorbital and superciliary arches play an important role.
After marking the superciliary arches, you can try to determine the lines of the cut of the eyes. The bridge of the nose is located above the lacrimal tubercles, at the level of the upper eyelids or slightly higher, but not lower.
Starting the line of the cut of the eyes, be guided by the bridge of the nose, placing the teardrops on this line, while the corners of the eyes are located near it, or slightly above/slightly below the lacrimal tubercles.
After marking the shape of the eye, determine the fit of the eyeball and pupil. After determining the size and shape of the eyeball, you can depict the eyelids. The eyelid should fit the shape of the eyeball, while taking into account the thickness of the eyelids themselves and the nature of the bend. Remember - you need to show the thickness of the eyelid in perspective reduction
Fourth.
The nature of the cut of the eyes. Its shape, as well as the shape of other elements, strongly depends on the nationality and individual characteristics person. And yet, the eyes have a common structure for all. See the picture above. When depicting the eye in linear diagram it can be seen that when viewed from the front, the eye looks like a parallelogram, in profile - the eye has a triangular shape, and in a three-quarter position - a rectangular trapezoid.
In a linear form, the wider the eye section, the more distally the corners of the eyes are located relative to each other, thereby expanding the eyelids. Picture above.
The teardrop is shaped like a head and plays important role in a plastic way. Its tip is not directed along the line of the cut of the eyes, but slightly down. At the same time, it forms a barely noticeable angle in the upper part, moving to the upper corner of the bend of the eyelids. Bottom part the lacrimal tubercle is directed almost horizontally, forming an even less noticeable angle, then gently curving upwards towards the outer corner of the eye.
Also note the difference in size. The upper half is noticeably larger than the lower one, because the upper eyelid has a larger curve than the lower one.
As a practice, I suggest you copy the two drawings above. They represent the eyes plaster head David. A simple, non-living form. Laconic and dry, which is easy to understand and simple enough to portray.
When drawing the eye, make sure that its surface is tilted relative to the vertical - the upper eyelid and the central part of the cornea protrude forward, while the lower edge of the cornea and the lower eyelid are deeper.
When drawing eyelids, the upper one should be highlighted, the lower one should be slightly outlined.
It is very useful for better assimilation of the structure and shape of the eye to draw with live nature. For example - looking in the mirror draw your own eyes. Try to start from the shape of the eyeball and cornea, and do not copy the visible surface.
From words to deeds. Try copying the following pictures. They will help you understand how to draw the human eye correctly.
Your hand needs to feel everything on its own. The eye turning in space tends to shrink. Accordingly, we can train according to the following scheme: we depict the eye schematically. We choose a random point of view and try to draw what we get. That is, a prospective reduction.
That's all. When copying, try to make the eyes emotional, alive. When writing the whole head of a person, his portrait, you will have to convey the mood of the eyes, drawing them taking into account the environment, lighting. Many times the eyes will come out dead, blurry. Well, nothing - experience and experience again. Over time, you will be able to draw the eyes better.
Side view
Front. Despite the fact that the drawing is very drawn, it is convenient to copy it.
A softer version
So you learned how to draw eyes, I hope it was interesting and informative. Now you can pay attention to the lesson "" - it is just as interesting and exciting. Share the lesson in social networks and show your results to your friends.
From this article you will learn
Human eyes are the most important, most expressive part of the face. How to draw eyes with a pencil? In order not only to learn how to portray them, but to convey character traits specific person, direction of view, reflection of the internal and outside world, figuratively speaking, you need to carefully study the anatomy, understand the basic principles of construction, learn how to effectively impose a tone.
The lesson is devoted to how to learn how to draw eyes, how to draw eyes with a pencil. It is built in such a way that it is convenient to draw with a pencil in stages.
There is no single answer on how to draw eyes correctly, but the principle is the same everywhere: you must definitely connect the eyes with construction lines in order to determine the location relative to each other.
Tip: use 3B pencils for dark areas, 2B and HB for everything else. Paper - Goznak, A4 format. Take a soft eraser, I use a MILAN eraser, ideal for working with fine wiping of small things. And sharpen your pencil more often.
Construction of eyes from two straight lines
There are few construction lines in this figure, but they are important in order to accurately capture the direction, to solve the problem of how to draw symmetrical eyes with a pencil, and not play each other on their own))).
We draw a line of inclination. The eyes are most often symmetrical (of course, there are exceptions. We consider the average option). The slope line passes through the corners, note that all four corners are on the same line. By the way, on a note, speaking of proportions human face, I would like to note that when looking at the front, the distance between the inner corners in a proportional face is equal to the distance between the inner and outer corners of one eye. Simply put, the width of the eye is equal to the distance from one eye to the other. If you draw a face in front, this remark will help you figure out how to draw eyes correctly. In our case, the face is turned three-quarters, but this distance almost coincided in proportion. The second eye is of course shorter because of the turn.
Next, we estimate the height of the upper eyelid. The slope of the straight line is the same, the eyelids are on the same straight line. 
Note the direction of view. If you mentally draw perpendiculars from the center of the pupil to the lower straight line, you can see that the left pupil is in the center, the right one is a little closer to the left edge. 
We outline the contours, starting from the upper eyelid. At the left, the upper point of the arc is above the pupil. On the right, the strongest bend is to the left of the pupil, goes beyond the edge of the corner. Strongly rounded. Smooth, precise bends can not be drawn yet, but everything can be drawn quite approximately, the main thing is in the right direction.
Outline the borders of the lower eyelid. The right one almost coincides with the lower horizontal from the inner tip, goes down, rounds off towards the end. The left one is lowered from the horizontal down. 
We draw the pupils and the iris, which have a round shape, partially covered by the eyelids. Mentally or with a pencil we make circles. The photo shows the correct and incorrect irises. 
We clarify the details. We draw tears, folds and small details. 
There are no eyelashes yet, they will appear at the hatching stage.
If you coped with this stage, it turned out smoothly and symmetrically, so to speak, from one face, then you have already decided the question of how to draw eyes correctly.
But a line drawing is not a finished work, so let's start hatching. At this stage, you will comprehend all the subtleties of how to draw eyes with a pencil.
Hatching. Putting tone on a line drawing
Let's start with the darkest places.
We hatch the iris according to the shape of its drawing, we draw the strokes in two directions: from the edge to the pupil, then from the pupil to the edge. Glare try to keep clean. You can outline its shape in advance with a light outline without pressure. If you can’t apply a tone with a highlight, do it without a highlight, then clean it with an eraser. 
If you overdid it somewhere, correct it with a thinly cut eraser. 
Note that the edges of the pupil are blurry. Do not draw them perfectly even, clear - it will look more natural.
Apply the falling shadow on the iris according to the shape with horizontal strokes.
Before applying the tone, wipe the lines with an eraser to a barely noticeable state. Check the details all the time. 
With wide sweeping strokes in shape, add shadows over the eyelids. 
Eyelashes- the most pleasant part of the drawing, they give the greatest expressiveness than everything else. Although drawing eyelashes is easy, try to do it carefully. Each hair does not need to be drawn, it can be depicted approximately, but in character. 
Detailing and finishing the drawing
After everything has been shaded, look in general, without original image. Edit where you see fit. Please note that in the finished drawing, the inner thickness of the eyelid is slightly dimmed from above, the highlights are detailed. I cleaned them with a thin cut of the eraser, added the missing points. Shine has arrived! That's all the principles of how to draw eyes in stages.
If you have mastered how to draw eyes with a pencil, then the problem of how to draw an eye expressively and beautifully will not arise either.
How to draw eyes with a pencil? Each of us roughly imagines what the human eye looks like and can draw at least such a primitive image:
But, since you are puzzled by the question of how to draw an eye in stages, apparently you want to get more.
First, I advise you to go to the mirror and carefully examine your eyes. A simple study of an object always reveals a lot of new things. I remember school lesson drawing, on which we were given the task. I drew as best I could and brought it to the teacher for checking. And Natalya Maksimovna advised me to take a closer look at her eyes. “Pay attention,” she said, “we have eyelids and wrinkles under the eyes. They also need to be drawn. At that moment, it became a real discovery for me - it turns out that if you look at something with all your attention, and not just paint it from memory, the object will reveal its new facets to us. One has only to add a few details and the eye begins to look completely different. It becomes more alive, real.
In the next few years, until the very end of school, I painted a lot of self-portraits sitting in front of a mirror. And than more hand worked with a pencil, the better the result. Gradually, the drawing and the reflection in the mirror began to resemble each other, which was not initially observed at all. The longer I drew, the less doubt there was about choosing a profession. I definitely wanted to be.
In this lesson I want to show you how to draw realistic eyes, the volume of the eyeballs, the pupil. If you understand the structure of the eye, then everything will become easier and more understandable.
At the heart of the eye is a ball, which is hidden in a special hole in the skull (eye socket). The ball cannot be lit evenly. Some part of it will be in the shade, some in the light, and between the light and the shadow is the territory of chiaroscuro. Accordingly, the protein in front of the eyes (the white field around the colored circle) will not be uniformly white. Below I will demonstrate this more clearly.
The iris of the eye, the one that happens to be green, blue, brown and in the rarest cases purple, is a rounded bulge that extends beyond the eyeball. Accordingly, it will be unevenly lit. In fact, the iris does not stick out of the ball so much, but I exaggerated for clarity.
On top of the eyes is the skin that covers most of the eyeball and forms folds - the upper and lower eyelids.
Would you like to learn how to draw a child's eyes? How are they different from the eyes of an adult? Look at the photo below. The iris in babies seems to be much larger in size than in an adult. In fact, children have a smaller incision in the eyes - a hole between the eyelids through which the eyeball is visible. Over time, when the child grows up, the incision will increase and the eyes will “grow up”. And, as a rule, the eyes of children are wide open. They look at the world with surprise and do not judge anyone. Toddlers are simply saturated with information about the place in which they live.
Gradually, under the influence of society, a person develops a character. The "mirror of the soul" acquires its own special features. Some people get laughing eyes, others are stern. In someone's eyes you drown like in the sea. They are bottomless and attractive. But there are eyes that you want to turn away from and never look into them again, because there is nothing there but emptiness or anger.
We will draw big beautiful eyes. How to draw eyes step by step?
Draw 2 parallel lines and divide them into 3 equal segments. Why 3? The distance between the eyes is equal to the length of one eye. It may be a little more or a little less.
In most people, the inner corner of the eye is slightly lower than the upper one. In other words, people's eyes are slightly slanted. This "slantness" is most pronounced among the peoples of Asia - the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Mongols ... However, it is also present among Europeans.
The inner corner of the eye is slightly narrowed. Here is the so-called lacrimal caruncle - a small area of \u200b\u200bpink color. Everyone's eye shape is very different. I draw rather large eyes of a girl.
We mark the area that the lacrimal caruncle will occupy on the inner corners of the eyes. Then draw the iris in the form of a circle. As a rule, the iris is not completely visible. Partially it is hidden under the upper eyelid. If you want to draw frightened eyes that are filled with horror, do the opposite - hide part of the iris under the lower eyelid, and leave free space between the upper eyelid and the iris.
Now draw the pupil exactly in the center of the iris. The size of the pupil depends on the illumination. The brighter the light, the smaller the pupil. In the dark, when a person peers somewhere, the pupil becomes 2 times larger. We draw the upper and lower eyelids. The shape and width of the eyelids are different for all people. In the elderly, the upper eyelid may become completely invisible due to the overhanging superciliary arches. The crease of the lower eyelid is not so noticeable, at least in young people. With age, all wrinkles become more pronounced.
In order for the eyes to look more expressive, they need a beautiful frame, or rather eyebrows. The distance between the eyebrows is greater than the length of the eye. The outer ends of the eyebrows extend beyond the outer corner of the eye. Of course, everyone's eyebrows are different, but, as a rule, they are adjusted to modern beauty canons with the help of cosmetics. In the Middle Ages, women shaved off their eyebrows. This is such a strange fashion requirement ... Perhaps in 100 years they will laugh at our ideas about beauty. Who knows…
In our drawing, the light will fall on the right. We note the glare on the iris. These are the lightest spots on the eyes. If you look in the mirror at your eyes, you will see how they sparkle. Why is the highlight on the iris? Because the iris is the most convex area in the eyes and it gets the most light.
Now let's start shading the eyes. We take a sharply sharpened HB pencil (hard-soft) and with neat strokes fill the entire drawing with the exception of highlights in the eyes.
We gradually gain tone by changing the direction of the stroke.
We darken the eyebrows, irises, upper and lower eyelids on the left (shadow) side.
Slightly darken the areas on the sides of the nose. We continue to darken the eyes and eyebrows layer by layer.
Now let's draw the cilia, some of which are shorter, others are longer. Draw eyelashes with short strokes from their roots to the eyebrows.
We make the lash line on the upper eyelid darker. This will give the eyes expressiveness.
Now let's get to the fun part. Let's take soft pencil(I used 5B) and darken a few areas, namely the pupil in the middle of the eye, the iris, paying special attention to the outer edges. We also darken the lash line and the eyelashes themselves on the upper eyelid. Let's highlight the lower lashes a bit. Let's also make the eyebrow a little darker. As you can see, the eye has come to life. The difference between the right and left parts of the figure is obvious.
The hardest part about drawing a realistic eye is:
Compliance with all proportions;
Drawing a realistic pupil of the eye;
Eyelash drawing.
In this article, we will teach you how to draw all these difficult moments.
Drawing realistic eyes is not an easy task. At the same time, we have to draw eyes quite often. We start drawing the eye with a pencil from the main lines (they should be thin, since we will erase them later). Look carefully at the image, keep all proportions when redrawing, as this is very important. Our eyes look a little up. When you understand the basic principles, you can draw the eye the way you need it.
We outline the pupil along the contour with a pencil (darken the contour) - we do this with a transition. At the pupil - the darkest place, and closer to the outer side - everything is lighter and lighter. A very soft pencil is best suited for these purposes.
Now let's draw the inner part of the large circle. It is very important that the stripes and spots are arranged in a circle. Look at the picture below and try to repeat all the dashes and spots exactly as in the picture.
Next, darken and shade the entire surface of the large circle - try to achieve the maximum realistic effect. Note that some areas of the eyeball are darker while others are lighter. This effect should also be reflected in your drawing.
Completely paint over the pupil with a pencil and remove the auxiliary circular lines.
Let's shade some parts of the eye to give volume.
We draw the lower eyelashes. Do it exactly as we have in the picture. The lash line doesn't have to be perfectly straight. Eyelashes begin to grow under the lower auxiliary line, and not on it. If you are drawing an eye for the first time, it is best to repeat each eyelash. In the future, you will be able to draw eyelashes without visual cues.
We draw the upper eyelashes. Do it exactly as we have in the picture. The lash line doesn't have to be perfectly straight. Eyelashes begin to grow above the upper auxiliary line, and not on it. Eyelashes are hard to draw. Each eyelash is drawn separately - it will take a lot of time, but it is well and believably traced eyelashes that make the drawing of the eye with a pencil as effective as possible. For the best effect, sharpen the pencil and preference in this case should be given to a soft pencil.
We remove all the remaining hint lines so that the eye looks realistic. You should get something like this:
