Tips

  • Draw the head before the eyes. It will help with the placement of the eyes, so your character's head will not be squashed.
  • Girl's eyes and boy's eyes have noticeable differences, for example eyelash length. Use this to your advantage to make your eye more noticeable.
  • Reading manga books and watching anime really helps your artwork. If you see something in the drawings that you like, you can try to copy the drawing and you will eventually develop your own style of eyes.
