Generally speaking, eyes tend to be an equal distance apart, with about one eye's distance in between. Cats, for example, have slit-like pupils.
Humans have round pupils, but you may see other shapes in different animals. It expands and contracts, typically in response to light. The pupil is the dark, round shape inside the iris. The iris is the round shape in the eye that typically has color. They still keep the rounded nature of the eye's surface in mind. Notice how the examples in blue, below, are not straight lines. The shape of the eyes and the eyelids will vary from person to person. This premise is illustrated in blue, below. Instead, they're rounded, going around the spherical shape of the eye. They are not flat or straight on the eye. Well, I like to think about the relationship between eyeballs and eyelids much like fabric on an object-eyelids wrap around the eye. Why, then, should we consider the eye's shape?
However, we obviously don't normally look at eyes this way-without eyelids and independent of the face. Note the rounded surface here, indicated with some simple cross contours in pink. Note, we are not necessarily talking about the eye as it normally looks on the human face-just the ball. Generally speaking, the eyeball is a spherical shape. I like to think of this as a case of knowing the rules so you can effectively break them. Understanding Cartoon Eye Basics Step 1Įven when drawing stylistically, it is still important to note how the eye itself works. A mirror can also be a great way to get a quick glance at proportions and how the face generally "works". In this tutorial, we'll discuss the basics of drawing cartoon eyes, how eyes work, and how you could use these concepts to develop and experiment with stylistic renditions of the eye.įor additional guidance, I recommend looking at live or photographic references, even if your goal is not to draw realistically or from life.
