you learn the basic “recipe” of how to draw manga eyes – I promise, you’ll learn it in

no time - you will be able to create your own variations of manga eyes as you wish

A fictitious manga character whether is it about eyes or the whole body is always a product of our – your - imagination It means that you can draw freely whatever shape or size you like and need not to be afraid “not to be accurate”

Your creation will always be the perfect one because it is the first and, it is the original

This is a simple drawing of human eye I put this picture first, so that you can

compare the differences between manga eyes (see below) and simple human eye drawing

You can almost tell from the shape and roundness that it looks like a female eye

Comparing to the first drawing, this looks more like male’s eye It radiates out maybe a bit of anger, and that is why the shape is rather angular

When you compare to the above simple human eye drawing you’ll easily notice the simplified features And, that is what manga eyes are about

While real human eye’s contour resembles to a shell-like shape, especially the eyes

of child and female this one has rather sharper angular contours, so it should fit well

to a male character

1) Begin to draw with the outlines of eyelid first

2) It does not really matter what angles you decide because it will be your original,

so take your time and be easy about it If possible avoid using eraser If you made a mistake or do not feel satisfied with the shape, draw over the previous line

3) You can observe the proportions and lines as on the picture and try to keep the same shapes but it is perfectly OK if your sketch does not resemble to this one

4) Draw a (not exactly) round circle of the iris Notice that in most cases the upper part of the iris is almost always hidden under the upper eyelid See your own eyes in the mirror

5) Approximately into the middle of the iris draw a round circle of pupil and, one smaller circle next to it, diagonally up above This circle is the reflection of the light You’ll see in a moment why it is important

7) Shade the pupil by crosshatching, leave the second smaller circle white and add several short strokes spinning around the pupil Draw a simple eyebrow so that the picture looks complete

You can also practice how to draw it step by step by these handy examples I think

no additional comment is necessary, the pictures tell you all The system is exactly the same as I described above (1 to 7)
