foreword

The discussion of eyes in this article is applicable to [less realistic] drawing methods such as comics and two-dimensional elements.

Focus on outlines and features, not teach you how to paint.

 

The content of the article is also very beginners, the purpose is to let people who are still honing their painting skills and have not improved so fast can learn some emergency skills to improve the quality of their works.

 

Basic

For starters,

Draw the front face, the left and right eyes can look the same.

But when the face is changed from an angle, it may not be possible to draw the right eyes.

So we must simply understand the structure of the eye in order to deal with drawing different shapes of eyes.

 

next

[I will use a stupid method to show how to change the front eyes to 45°]

 

(emphasis is divided into two parts)

1. Front, we're going to turn the face to the right

2. Scale the left eye horizontally

3. Change the lower side first, and move the lowest point to the left

 

The focus here is to match the shape of the eyeball, [the eye sockets must have radians]

 

4. Next, start to change the top.

5. The green line is the inner canthus, draw it for your reference.

When the face is sideways, the inner canthus will be blocked by the side flesh (purple line).

At this time, if the eyes have double eyelids, the lines of the eyelids will also converge downwards.

6. Done

The important point here [please write down the edge of the upper eyelashes ＼／＼ ]

 

[Contrast before and after modification]

Using this theory, you can initially deal with level-up eyes.

The above diagrams are all drawn with the same logic.

As long as you practice it, I believe you will too.

Details

This chapter is to increase the eye-catching degree and learn how to deal with details.

 

 

 

Then modify the previous example.

 

 

⭐【Eyebrows】

1. Need to grow along the direction of the bone

2. The eyebrows are in front of the eyeballs, so when they are on the side of the face, the eyebrows should be drawn moderately beyond the eyes.

 

⭐【Double eyelid】

Double eyelids can actually be drawn very casually.

Because in reality, there are double eyelids in these three situations, so as long as it is the crease above the eyelashes, it is not wrong to express it in any way.

According to personal observation, because of the frontal bone, 1 is more common in Orientals, and 3 is more common in Westerners.

 

 

 

⭐【Upper eyelid】

 

1 is more biased towards Orientals, and 2 is biased towards Westerners.

Because the blue area of 2 is more protruding, it is less likely to have parallel indentations under the eyebrows like 1.

 

However, because it is two-dimensional, it is mostly drawn according to what the painter thinks looks good, and there is no need to be too strict.

There are also many ways to hook the line, and you can also choose not to add it at all.

 

side

There is usually a line that extends below the leading edge of the brow.

 

 

⭐【Lower eyelashes】

1 is the basic type

In reality, the lower eyelashes are close to 2, and there is a short distance between the lower eyelashes and the eye socket, so if you see 2, there is no mistake.

But sometimes the eyes do not need to be drawn too big, so in most cases, you will see the situation like 3, where the lower eyelashes merge into the lower eye socket.

 

 

 

Eye features endow characters with temperament

Drawn with personal perception, you can refer to it.

Note: Because it is the area that the author is good at, the following examples are all male.

⭐【Rounded Eyes】

     Easy-going, harmless, little white rabbit

⭐【Leaf-shaped eyes】

Neutral, clear and firm eyes (more alert than round eyes)

⭐【Not easy to get along with, not easy to mess with】

Thick + single eyelids, sparse eyebrows, small eyeballs, slender eyes

⭐【Trapezoid eyes on top】

honest man, warm man

⭐【Drooping eyes】

lazy, mysterious, prodigal, romantic

⭐【I don't know how to draw the attack time in BL】

thicker eyebrows

⭐【Top eyelashes, end facing up】

Increase spirituality, cats are boys

⭐【Beauty】

The eyelashes should be longer, and the eyelids and tear moles can be considered.

In fact, it has little effect on eye shape

the

addition

⭐【Aging】

For the two-dimensional drawing method, modifying the size or shape of the eyes is not necessary to increase the age of the character. Because modifying the shape may affect the character's own characteristics.

 

The simple method is to draw crow's feet or strengthen the eyelids,

And the most important [eye bags].

Bags under the eyes sag as people age. Some people are used to draw a slash next to the bridge of the nose when drawing old people, that is the wrinkles that appear due to sagging bags under the eyes.

 

 

epilogue

This is the first time I publish an article on TIPS, if there are any deficiencies, thank you for your understanding.

 

One last suggestion,

If you encounter a bottleneck in practicing painting, even if you want to learn にじげん, remember to refer to real people, objects or photos.

People's aesthetics mostly refer to the things they see in their daily life. When the picture is too different from the reality, even if you don't know what's wrong, you will naturally feel strange when you look at it.

It is more important to face up to the things that exist in reality than to look at the teachings drawn by others.

 

Good luck with your drawing.
