[music] Hi guys.
My name is Marcel and today, I'm making a video about something
all of you wanted so bad. You asked me basically every day about this, so today's video is going to be a tutorial on how to draw noses. -[music]
-[laughs] Okay. Yeah. Today's video is about drawing eyes, of course. I'll show you how to draw basic eyes, eyes from different perspectives, stylized eyes and some tips and tricks. You guys know my channel by now.
I make all of these videos completely by myself. These tutorials are insanely hard to make. It takes a lot of time and effort. And that's why I have a sponsor for this video. As you might know, I have a website where you can read all about and buy my manga series and artbook. And there are probably some artists out there
that maybe also want to sell their art online with an online shop or just want to have
a website in general. That's where today's sponsor comes into play because Zyro
helps you to make professional-looking websites with integrated online shops, even if you have no idea
about coding or websites. It's super fast loading and it's easy to use, and even if you don't know anything about web design, you can just use a pre-installed template
and customize it yourself. Since most of this is just drag and drop,
you can impart your artworks super easy. So it's also a good idea if you're looking
for a way to make a portfolio. And just in case you're having any trouble,
there's a 24/7 customer support ready to help you out. And the best part, if you use the code drawinglikeasir,
you get a homepage for free for three months. And from there on out, you get 86% off. So yeah, go ahead.
Click the link in the description. I'm pretty sure if you're looking to make
a website or an online shop, this might be the right thing for you. This was my very first-ever sponsorship on this channel. Many companies asked me to make sponsorships for some mobile games, but I think that's kind of dumb.
That's why I refused them all. But I think Zyro is a cool thing to tell you about. I, for myself, always wanted to have
my own website as a kid. So I see how that's something you might be interested in. And now, enough of that.
Let's finally start with drawing eyes. Let's go. [music] First of all, let's learn how to draw a regular eye
before we learn how to draw a stylized one. Don't worry, drawing the eye
isn't as complicated as other anatomy parts, because we're actually just drawing
a very small part of the whole eye. Like I'm doing it in every tutorial of mine,
I'm splitting the eye part into its most basic components. And because we're only drawing this small part of the eye instead of the whole eyeball, the guideline's gonna be very simple as well. And yeah, drawing the eye this way isn't something new. Pro artists used these guidelines for ages now. Now of course, it's not gonna stay like this. You first wanna smoothen out the shape so it looks a bit more natural. Right after that, you want to draw
this part here a bit darker because there are generally more eyelashes there. That's why this is the overall darkest part of the eye. It doesn't matter what style the eye is drawn. Let's leave the details for later because what you all
probably want to know most is how to draw the iris. Because if you draw the iris wrong,
your character might look like he needs an exorcism. A rule of thumb that I have is to draw the iris
so that just one quarter of it is covered. But just watch out when it comes to the pupil, please, because if you draw a pupil too small,
your character might just look like a serial killer. So, always draw the pupil a bit bigger
and for good measure, shade the top half of the eye. That way, you can avoid drawing
the infamous "Crazy eyes". But other than that, go ahead and add some details. In the iris for example,
just like I'm doing right now. Also, you can add some highlights. You can use any old eraser for that
you have laying around. I'm using an eraser pen
because it's more convenient. If you want to know where I get my art supplies from, there's a whole list on my website. So check out my website if you want to read
into all of my pencils and papers and stuff. For all of you perfectionist out there,
there are a couple of details you can still add. Maybe you already know this how people are always drawing in a wrinkle right above the eyelid. That's because of the hole in your skull,
this is where your eyelid actually starts. So yeah, if you ever need a reminder
how this wrinkle works and how it looks, it's basically running along your skull eye hole thingy. Talking about the eyeball,
as you might know, the eyeball ends here. So most people leave this part out, but I'll just draw the
caruncle for the people that are interested in it. [music] If you want to, you can add some more eyelashes,
maybe some wrinkles here and there but other than that, let's stop with the details for now because we are not drawing a
hyperrealistic eye here. If you want to have a tutorial on that, you can just look it up on YouTube. The search results have more eyes
than the fucking Uchiha Clan. Before we start drawing stylized eyes, let's draw eyes in perspective first. As an example, we are drawing eyes
in a three-quarter view and right after that, we're drawing one from this side. So let's start with a three-quarter view. This might not surprise you
but in order to make this work, you kind of have to know how
perspective and foreshortening works. Maybe you can even remember my video
about foreshortening. In this video, I said that objects
that are further away from you get smaller were objects that are closer to you get bigger. Of course, that's kind of common sense. But I think that people still forget
this applies to pretty much everything else as well. Yes, even when it comes to drawing eyes. So let me show you how I foreshorten an eye. And it's just like I said before.
The part that's facing away from us gets smaller. Now, you have the correct guideline
and this is where you draw in the shape of the eye just like you did before. And from here on out,
it's the exact same procedure as before. That's the bolder part at the eyelashes. Of course, there's the iris. The wrinkle on top of the eyelid. And maybe you can see the caruncle a bit. Just be careful when it comes to the iris. There's a big mistake a lot of beginners make here. Now, pop quiz. If the iris wasn't looking at us, but let's say in this direction, would you still draw it the exact same way? The short answer is no. And the long answer would be NOOOOO. The way I drew the iris here,
it looks our way. You cannot just draw the same circle
a bit further on the left and call it a day. That's not how an eye works. Let's look at this more three-dimensional. If the eye were to rotate to the side, then as you can see,
the iris would look a lot slimmer. You need to keep this in mind when it comes to drawing
eyes from different perspectives. This is incredibly important. And while we're at the topic of different perspectives, if you want to draw eyes from other angles as well, you just need to take the guideline we used and foreshorten it accordingly. You can take a screenshot of this for reference,
or you just wait until the end of the video. There's gonna be a more comprehensive
cheat sheet as always. Let's draw another perspective from the side. We're only drawing one half of the eye,
so we only really need one half of the guideline. [music] And what I showed you before with the iris
comes into play here. The iris is by the very thin oval shape. Also, very important, your pupil
is right in the middle of the iris, not on the outer side. And the rest with the eyelids and lashes,
and so on is stuff that you already know about. [music] Uh, I know, I know.
You still have dozens of questions left. For example,
"How do you draw eyes in an actual face?" "How are the proportions in comparison
to the nose?" and so on. The bad news is I'm not gonna talk much about this since this is less about drawing eyes
and more about drawing a complete face. But the good news is I've already made a video about
how to draw a face with eyes in different angles. In this video, I draw eyes as oval shapes
to keep things simple. You just need to replace them with the guidelines
that you've learned in this video. If you're interested in watching the whole video,
just check it out. I've linked it on the top right corner. So, where did we leave off? Oh, right. Yeah. I wanted to show how to draw stylized eyes because you definitely don't want
your characters to look like that. When we wanted to draw realistic eyes,
we needed this shape. But like you just saw, these kinds of eyes
don't really fit with every face. And that's why some artists stylize their eyes and they do so with every kinds of different shape. For example, when you want to draw anime
or cartoon eyes, it's always helpful to first base it off of a shape. And this doesn't have to be the same shape
from the beginning. This can also be a circle or many other different shapes. I think the most common one, though,
is probably a rhombus. Doesn't matter if you're drawing an edgelord
or the King of Games himself, especially anime eyes are often based
off of this form. But there's still a reason why we drew
more natural eyes first. That's because all of the rules I told you before
in this video still apply here. For example, the iris is still covered
by about one quarter. And yes, the eyelid wrinkle is still at the same height. Also, as you can see, the same part of the eyes
are bolder at the very same parts. So it doesn't matter what style you draw in because all those same rules still apply. And yes, this also goes for drawing stylized eyes
in different angles. Yeah, admittedly, some eyes
require a bit more imagination, but it still works with the same principle. They all work just like previously shown. One big difference, however,
is the amount of details. With stylized eyes, you seldomly see a lot of wrinkles
or single eyelashes, for example. However, this is not a blanket statement. Every artist stylizes in his or her own way and some like it more and some like it less detailed. By the way, this also goes for highlights. Some artists draw in regular highlights, other prefer more highlights, And then there are artists that draw-- What the f-- I like how versatile this can get. You can recognize some artists
just by looking at the eyes they draw. And by experimenting a bit
when it comes to shapes, this could be a first step
in developing your very own drawing style. Starting with the eyes. And just like I always do, I drew a cheat sheet
with all the relevant details. And yes, you may take a screenshot of this
if you want to. Everything I want to have in return
would be a thumbs up. And also, a subscription,
if you would be so kind. [music] If you're still having problems with drawing other things like
drawing muscles or perspective, why not check out my other stuff? I've already made tutorials and a lot of different topics,
so go ahead and check them out. Well, then. My name is Marcel
and I'll see you guys in my next video here on my channel -- Draw like a Sir. Goodbye. [music]
