1. Eye Anatomy

It is important to pay attention to the anatomy of the eyes. Once you are clear on this, it makes things easier and you would be able to be successful in drawing them. The human eye is not flat, it has a curved shape. All these years, we were under the impression that the shape of the iris is flat.

2. Study the muscles

Studying the bones and muscles of the face helps in drawing perfect eyes. These bones and muscles can be clearly observed in some faces and in some they are not noticeable.

3. Test out the Iris

Checking the iris is of essence. Take a look at the eyes of the person who intend drawing in detail. Ensuring that the iris is filled with variety of layers and patterns is important. If you take a closer look, you would find that the eyes are not pure white, blending them with some colors will give it a more natural look.

4. Drawing different expressions

It is advised that you ask the person to change their facial expressions. This would mean that the eye expressions would change automatically. It helps you in getting a clearer picture of the eyes and also the right image.

5. A Happy look

If you intend drawing happy looking eyes, ask the person to smile and look cheerful. These simple expressions would help in changing the smile on the face and indirectly on the muscles and you would be able to draw the perfect eyes.

6. Setting up the structure

This is important since the parallel lines would ensure that the eyes, nose and mouth are placed rightly.

If you take drawing and training lessons from a professional artist, you would know how to draw a perfect set of eyes. You would need to shell out quite some money and time as well, but it is worth it.

For people who are happy doing landscape drawings or people in crowds, once they are able to figure out how to draw an expressive set of eyes, they would automatically love drawing eyes.
