I've seen a lot of eye tuts on dA...at least, what seems like tutorials, but a lot of them are simply either step-by-step or just a bunch of different styles of eyes in different angles. None of them really explain how the eyes look the way it does, why the eyelids casts that shadow on the eyeballs, etc. At least, none that I've seen
I hope this gives you guys a more in-depth look to the human eye and the structure surrounding it. This actually took quite a long time, so i hope you guys like it . Rendering the eyes took a LOT longer than simply sketching them D;.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask .
here's the step-by-step put into gif so it's easier to see:
here are the skull studies I did back a few years ago:
My other tutorials:
My other works:
I put some anime eyes in the references too, hope you guys don't mind, hahaha.
ps. i put it in traditional art catagory because it's the only one with the subsection "anatomy" in it. I'm not sure why digital art can't teach anatomy either, but you'll have to ask dA about that. xD;;.
This is really helpful most tutorials are just "how to draw an eye" and they don't show any of the actual anatomy,(Like just coloring it and whatnot) this, however, actually shows how eyes sit in the head~! great! thanks for sharing your process it helps a lot :3
This tutorial is PERFECT! D: I finally understand the folds properly!
Though as someone who's learning how to draw in photoshop, It's a bit confusing when you say you " rendered " it, can you clarify what you mean? It'd also be great if you could provide insight about working in SAI in comparison to other programs? What makes SAI special for you?
