How to Draw a Realistic Eye

Learn how to draw a very detailed, realistic eye from complete scratch. Follow along with me as I take you step by step, with full narration as we go from a blank sketchbook to a polished drawing! I get a lot of comments saying circles are too difficult to draw, so this time, we're going to start with a trapezoid! The raw footage for this tutorial is a whopping 8 hours long! I did my best to trim it down without cutting out too many important details. I hope it is easy to follow along with! I'm going to try to make a shorter version of this tutorial for anyone who wants a quick run-down on the steps. Will post the link here when it's done! 📄 DRAWING WORKSHEETS Download and print the FREE sample worksheet or grab the entire 12-page worksheet pack to practice drawing eyes following this tutorial: https://rapidfireartshop.gumroad.com/ 🎨 SHARE YOUR ART!
