5 Easy Steps to Draw, an Eye

Hello, fellows...!

In this post, I would love to share my simple and easy way to draw a realistic eye. As we know, some artists draw only the iris sometimes, but they draw it extremely perfect in its details. Here I share 5 easy steps how to draw it as simple as I could, so that we could learn together easily.

First, draw a big circle, then draw a smaller one exactly at the center. You can add a little effect just in case you want to give some dramatic expression. Block the center circle with black color. For my drawing, I used 6B pencil. Here is the result of my first step of drawing. 

Next step, bold the outline of the iris. Give some gradation effect with the outer line is the darkest part. Then add some lines, draw them from the centre to the outer.

Now, hatch the iris from the outer circle straight to the center. Don't forget to always darken the outline.

Okay, next step we will add some colors for the iris. Here I add brown color because it’s the color of my eyes. Hehehe.... You may use other colors if you want to, like blue, green, or grey. In order to draw more realistic sketch, you have to use more than 2 pencil color. For this picture, I used brown, light brown, and grey pencil color. For the darker part, I simply used 6B pencil.

Last but not least, add some color to darken the drawing. For darker color, you may use 6B to 8B pencil. Draw it gently from the outside straight to the centre. After the outside is full, draw it from the centre. You will get the some straight line filling the iris randomly, but will give you more realistic effect.

And this one is the summary of all the steps that I had drawn. Let’s check it out!

So, what do you think? It’s very easy, isn’t it? Now, you try it yourself!  Hope you like it!
