This simple project takes you through the process of sketching the shapes of an iris, pupil, and highlight; then, you add shading with squirkles.

I think you have done a good job with this one, Well done xxx

This lesson was truly amazing. I thought that it would be a waste
of time to learn but I was wrong. Squirkles really do work and
the eye looks very realistic. Thanks!

thank you Kerryanne

[font="Garamond"][font="Georgia"]This article works pretty good!1 I DREW SUCH AN AMAZING EYE WITH THE HELP OF IT..

I guess I need more practice with this one. My eye still looks like a bunch of squirkles. I didn't do the blending of shade from light to dark to well either but shape of the various parts looks good.

here is one that i did in about 30min, it needs alot more work, i also think it might be a little dark

Looks great. If you were trying to draw the light-colored eye then it might be a little dark, but this looks perfect for a brown eye.

thanks Mindy, its a great compliment

I never posted my results for this lesson. Here it is, did it a few months ago.
The normal eye from the lesson, and the darker one for challenge.

Woauuu...what a great lesson..and your drawings are sooo good!!

@ Mindy...your eyes look very nice.

I hope, you like my eye from the lesson!
The challenge a will make it too...

That looks great, Trinity! Hope you'll start a gallery for yourself soon, I'll be happy to see all your new drawings!

Thank you so much for your kind words!

I see your Gallery and i musst say ...woauuuuu ...your works are so beautiful!!!
I hope that i will make my own gallery very soon.

I really need some help with this one..
i try a few times to draw it, but every time it goes wrong...
you can see my eye here:


can anybody help me?!?!

This was pretty difficult for me. My squirkles tend to be dark. I had trouble with the lighter areas. A good exercise which I need much more practice.

I did the first eye, here it is:

Here is my dark eye. I loved this exercise!

I liked this exercise. It was not to hard, but yielded pleasing results.

Very Cool!:D

I had a hard time with this one. Not happy with the results

Do I need to add more lines? or closer together?

"Hey watchya doin'?! Poopin??!"

a little difficult,really..

great challenge, i really enjoyed it.

Squirkles do work! This lesson was amazing!

Interesting technique. I used my own for drawing eyes, but this one sort of adds more personality to them. You're not perfect either, I've seen much better eyes, but you've helped improve my technique. thanks! I like your guides a lot, even tough they're for dummies hehe

My one eye

I thought I would change it up a little with having it lighter around the entire pupil and a dark outer rim.

Hope you like it. Open for comments.
