How to Draw Evil Eyes
- Prepare the base for the evil eyes.
Start by drawing two horizontal lines across your paper. These lines will help you place and align the eyes correctly. The top line represents the upper boundary of the eyebrows, while the bottom line marks the lower boundary of the eyes. Ensure these lines are parallel and evenly spaced.
- Sketch the upper outlines of the eyebrows.
Begin at the outer ends of the top guiding line, curving the lines slightly downwards toward the middle. These lines should be symmetrical and angled to create a fierce expression. The eyebrows can extend slightly beyond the top guiding line to give the eyes a prominent, angry look.
- Define the bottom edge of the eyebrows.
Start from the inner ends of the upper eyebrow lines and curve them downward to meet the outer edges, forming a sharp, pointed look. The bottom edges should mirror the shape of the upper edges, creating a thick, arched eyebrow shape.
- Sketch the lower eyelids.
Draw two curved lines below the bottom guiding line, connecting to the outer edges of the upper eyelids. These lines should be smooth and taper towards the inner corners of the eyes. Ensure both sides are symmetrical for a symmetrical appearance.
- Draw the irises.
These should be slightly oval-shaped and positioned towards the inner edges of the eyes to create an evil look. The irises should be partially covered by the upper eyelids, adding to the intense expression. Ensure the size of the irises is consistent to keep the eyes looking realistic.
- Add the pupils.
Draw small circles slightly off-center towards the inner part of the irises. This placement intensifies the piercing stare. Ensure both pupils are the same size and positioned similarly to maintain symmetry. Here we are making the gaze more striking and menacing.
- Add the skin folds.
Enhance the realism of the eyes by adding creases. Draw short, curved lines above and below the eyes to represent the skin folds. These lines should follow the contours of the eyelids and eyebrows. Adding these details will give the eyes a more expressive appearance, creating more evil look.
- Erase the guiding lines from the evil eyes.
Carefully erase the initial guiding lines from your drawing used to align the evil eyes. Use a gentle hand movements to avoid smudging your sketch. This step cleans up your artwork and makes the shapes of the eyes sketch more clear and finished.
- Add colors, shadows and highlights.
Complete the drawing by adding some colors, shading and final details. Darken the eyebrows and the upper eyelids to create more angry expression. Add shadows under the eyes and on the lower eyelids. Shade the irises, leaving small highlights for realism.

Drawing Evil Eyes: Advanced Suggestions
The shape of the eyebrows significantly impacts the overall expression of the eyes. Try experimenting with different eyebrow shapes to convey various degrees of intensity and emotion. You can make the eyebrows thicker, thinner, more arched, or straighter. Each variation can change the character’s mood, from subtly menacing to overtly evil. This practice helps you understand how minor adjustments can alter expressions and improves your ability to convey different emotions through facial features.
Make your drawing more realistic by adding texture to the eyebrows. Instead of a solid, uniform shape, use short, overlapping strokes to mimic individual hairs. Vary the direction and length of these strokes to create a more natural look. This technique adds detail to your drawing, making the eyebrows appear more lifelike. Practicing this will improve your ability to create different textures, a valuable skill for all types of drawing.
Adding eyelashes can significantly enhance the realism and detail of your drawing. Draw thin, curved lines extending from the upper and lower eyelids. Vary the length and direction of the lashes, and remember that they tend to be longer and more numerous on the upper eyelid. This addition will make your drawing more dynamic and detailed, giving it a finished look.
Adding wrinkles and skin texture around the eyes can make the evil expression more natural. Draw fine lines around the corners of the eyes and on the forehead to represent wrinkles. These lines should follow the natural contours of the face. Incorporating skin texture, such as small dots or faint lines, can also add realism. This practice helps you understand the anatomy of facial expressions and improves your ability to render detailed and realistic features.
Consider adding surrounding facial features, such as a nose, cheekbones, or part of the forehead. These features can make the drawing more complete. Pay attention to how these features interact with the eyes and contribute to the overall emotion. This addition helps you understand facial anatomy and how different features work together to convey expressions.
