Eye 'tutorial' — Description
I was asked about how I draw my eyes~
So I didn't really make a "tutorial" but rather just: a couple pieces of information that dictate how I go about drawing eyes. Because showing a step by step wouldn't help anyone, since I do all the form-constructing in my head, plus have the shape of the curves engraved into my instinct by now.
So it technically would be: draw circle -> do squiggly lines surrounding it until it looks like eye

Btw, the reason why I included screenshots from the anime Bakemonogatari as reference, is because it's thanks to that show's art style that I realized a couple years ago you could stylize eyes in such a simple but goodlooking way (using varying thickness of countours surrounding iris and pupil,, plus indicating the cone-shape by not placing the pupil in the center )

Bonus: data.whicdn.com/images/2026633…

The thing with the highlight I actually just learned recently, and I was immediately baffled by how much of a difference it made,, but hightlights being the area on the shape closest to the lightsoucre / where the light hits most directly ((something like that)) - it makes sense that it would look better once it's not just randomly placed

But really, it all just comes down to understanding the shapes :I I have no idea wether or not this is helpful in any way???
