Knowing how to draw eyes, a young artist will be able to create portraits of a wide variety of people.

How to Draw Eyes
- Draw a horizontal guideline
In this step, we will draw another horizontal line that is located above the conditional middle of the paper sheet. Another action from this step is a vertical line that will divide your drawing into two equal parts.
- Draw a second guideline a little higher.

- Draw the upper eyelids
And now we will start drawing the actual eyes. In this step, we will draw two regular semicircles that should be adjacent to the top line from the last step.
- Draw the lower eyelids
In this step, we will draw the bottom border of the eye. This is a smooth line that follows the bottom line from the first step. As a result, we should get two almond-shaped shapes.
- Draw the iris of the eye
And now it’s time to draw the iris of the eye. The pigment melanin, which is present in this membrane, forms the color of the eyes. A large amount of pigment in the iris forms a dark brown eye color, and a small amount of pigment forms a light green and blue eye color.
- Draw the pupils
We continue drawing the eyes. In this step, we will draw the pupils. In fact, the pupil is an opening in the iris of the eye. The direction and emotional color of the gaze depend on the location of the pupil.
- Draw the eyebrows
Slightly above the horizontal line from the first step, draw the eyebrows. Choose the shape of these brows based on your taste.
- Erase the guidelines
We always highlight a special step so that you can evaluate your drawing, find all the errors, and correct these mistakes with the eraser. Let’s do this because the next action is to work with colors.
- Color the eyes
This is the nicest step, actually. So now we are going to work with colors. You can choose any color for the eyes that you have painted. In our case, this is the green eye color. In any case, don’t forget to leave the highlights inside unpainted.
Supplementary Content
To make the drawing process more interesting, try adding some additional elements:
- For example, you can continue drawing the face after finishing drawing the eyes. You can depict the nose and lips.
- You can also try to draw different emotions on the face by changing the shape of the eyebrows.
