1.
First, sketch the upper lid, drawn with a 2B pencil. Any pencil with a softer
lead can be used for the initial sketch.
2. Add the lower lid and corner. This initial sketch does not need to be perfect,
since it will be cleaned up later.
3. Add the lower lash line and line marking the beginning of the corner. Now
you have a basic eye shape
4.
Define the crease above the eye.
5.
Add the outline of the eyeball.
6.
Using a softer pencil (like 6B) to darken your sketch, add the pupil, and
outline highlights.
7.
Darken more with your 6B pencil and add eyelashes with a 2B pencil.
8.
Darken the pupil with the 6B pencil. Then, take a hard 2H pencil and add lines
to the cornea. Press hard enough to indent the paper, those lines will add
highlights when the cornea is shaded.
9.
Use a blending stump or tortillion to start shading. Shade the crease, cornea,
lower lash line, and under the upper lash line in the white or the eye. Avoid
the highlights. Sketch in eyebrow.
10.
Continue to darken your shading and blend with the tortillion. Use 2B to darken
the crease, lash lines, and lashes.
11.
Darken the pupil even more with an 8B pencil. Also use it to add darkness
to the outer line of the cornea and crease.
12.
Darken the cornea more, adding some slightly darker lines within it. Shade
more above and below lash lines.
13.
Continue to darken cornea. Add more shading to brow, crease, and lower lash
line.
14.
Complete the eye by darkening the top of the cornea and picking out some lighter
lines with a pen eraser. Use a rubber eraser to clean up the highlights on
the eyeball, within the cornea, and on the white of the eye.
