Coloring anime eyes can be challenging but also a rewarding task

The eyes are often the focal point of the character and it helps convey their emotions and personality. In this article, we'll summarize the techniques for coloring anime eyes from the anime painting course on Sozoroo.

 

 

Step 1: Choose Your Colors

Start by choosing the colors you want to use for the iris, pupil, and highlights. The iris can be any color, from realistic browns and blues to vibrant pinks and purples. The pupil is usually black, but can be a different color for certain characters. The highlights are usually white, but can be a different color depending on the lighting and the mood of the scene.

Step 2: Fill in the Base Colors

Next, fill in the base colors for the iris and pupil. Use a soft brush and start with a light layer of color. Gradually build up the color and shading until you achieve the desired look.

Remember to consider the light source and the shadows that would be casted on the eye.

 

Step 3: Add Details and Textures

Once you have the base colors, add details and textures to make the eye look more realistic. Use a smaller brush to add veins, speckles, and other details to the iris. Add highlights to the pupil and the iris to make the eye look more lively and expressive. Use different brush strokes and opacities to create a variety of textures.

 

Step 4: Add Shadows and Highlights

Finally, add shadows and highlights to make the eye pop out. Use a darker color or shade to add shadows to the creases and corners of the eye. Add highlights to the edges of the iris and the pupil to create a shiny, reflective surface. Use a blending brush to blend the colors and create a seamless transition between the shadows and highlights.

 

By following these basic techniques, you can create anime eyes that are colorful, expressive, and full of personality. If you're interested in learning more about coloring anime eyes and other techniques for anime painting, check out the anime painting course on Sozoroo.
