HOW TO DRAW MANGA EYES


STEP 1. OK, so in this step, basically all you need to do is lightly sketch the shape of the eye. There's not much to it, but you do want to spend some time just to make sure this part is exactly how you want it, or the completed drawing will not look good.

STEP 2.

 Here you just want to draw in the iris and pupil, sketch in where you want the highlights to be, and lightly shade in a base tone for the iris.

STEP 3.

 In the third step, you should shade under the eye lid a little bit and shade in the pupil. Also, you should draw some lines coming out of the pupil going towards the edge of the iris like you see in the picture.

STEP 4.

 Here you want to add shading to the outer edge of the iris with lines that go toward the pupil. There should still be part of the iris that is the base tone, which you should accent by adding a shadow underneath to give it depth. That sounds confusing so just look at the picture. I added some shading under the bottom eye lid here, but a also made sure I left a small outline of white around the eye where the eye lashes will go.

STEP 5.

 This might look like a big difference, but just add eye lashes by drawing thick lines that taper to a point. They should dip down before going up to give it more realism. The bottom eyelashes should be smaller and clumped together a little bit. I also shaded the white part of the eye a little. I added detail to the iris by adding small black dots and lines and giving it small highlights.

STEP 6.

 This is just adding final touches. Darken all the darks to really dark to give the picture contrast. Make sure your highlights are really highlighted. You can make a reflection of the eyelashes in the highlight in the iris if you want. You can either make the white part of the eye look glossy with highlights and shadows or you can put blood vessels in it, or both. Just keep adding detail and shading around the eye until your'e happy with it, and then your'e done! Wooooohoooo have fun!

    Outline your drawing in permanent media. Use a pen for the face and a thicker marker for the rest of the body. This will help add weight to your drawing. When the ink dries, erase all the pencil marks. This keeps your illustration neat and tidy

We have a very special day today! The most requested tutorial of all time has been finally finished! ^_^ Say hello to Zoro after timeskip from One Piece.
As always all the blue and green lines are just construction lines and will be erased later so do not push on your pencil too much ^_^ I will try to be super efficient with text so will only describe steps that require some explanation.
Centre line is slightly more to the left and both lines are tilted to the right.
Jaw line on the left isn't completely smooth as the Zoro's face is turned slightly to this side.  
Lighten all the construction lines by "stamping" the kneedable eraser and ink the final lines. Make sure to refer to the picture above as there are some new lines here, for example marks on Zoro's face and hair, so make sure to draw them in pencil before inking.
Wait till the ink is nice and dry and erase all the construction lines.
 Another really popular request today! We are going to draw Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji Manga. Thx to Nais, Kuronuma and many others for request ^_^ This picture of Ciel is pretty detailed so I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. 
Draw eye line and center slightly slanted. Also make sure to keep enough free space bellow the head circle for Ciel's neck bow ^_^

Let's draw Leo the Lion AKA Loke AKA Roki from Fairy Tail! Thx a lot to Love_muf1n for request ^_-. Is he your favorite Celestial Spirit? ^_^
As always all the blue and green lines are just construction lines and will be erased later so do not push on your pencil too much ^_^ I will try to be super efficient with text so will only describe steps that require some explanation.
Make sure to leave enough free space on paper for next steps. You can see how much space you will need from the size of the paper on this picture. Notice that the horizontal eye line slightly tilted up to the right. Centre line is moved slightly to the right from centre of the cirlce and curved at the top.
Lighten all the construction lines by "stamping" the kneedable eraser on paper. Make sure to refer to the picture above as you need to ink only some parts of the construction lines. There are also some new lines so better sketch them in pencil first ^_^.
