Drawing an eye in Human portraits By EdgarsArt

in art •  8 years ago 

Many people have said that i am very good in drawing eyes. I can get that realistic tone in them and they seem alive.
Here i took two photos from one my portraits in progress. To draw the eyes i am using 3 pencils mostly. H, 2H and 2B
I start with the outline, and the basic shape of the eye with H pencil, which is very light, so i can correct everything and i can just draw the shape of the eye. Then i am outlining everything the second time now with 2H pencil, which is pretty hard one, and i can get the eye almost 80% done with it. Now the third stage starts when i am shading everything, and adding some darker spots, where the skin becomes dark, so that i get that realistic skin effect, and then i am taking 2B pencil as the last one, to add darker details. Eyebrows, and everything.
As you can see in the second picture: That is how it looks in the end after all 3 stages i have completed.
