How To Sketch the Human Eye – A Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction
In this blog we will sketch the human eye. The eyes are what lights up everything else in the world we see; when we first open them until we lastly close them for the night. I wonder what a newborn infant thinks when he/she first enters the world, and all the flashes of colors, values and textures consume them all the sudden. Without our eyes, the world as we know it would not be the same.
The human eye speaks volumes and is one of the most emotional features to draw. With the eyes in most cases can speak without words. You can just look at them and know if the person is mad, happy, sly, sleepy or possibly even lying. They’re a powerful feature and probably just as complex to draw or paint. As I stated in my first blog, The Loomis Method: The Foundation I Use for Portrait Sketching, eyes will take practice and attention to detail. So, practice, practice and then practice some more and don’t give up (and use references as you practice); it’ll happen! As eyes can speak without words, they can also elevate a portrait from being good to being exceptional.
