Questions and answers
How do I draw a realistic eye in pencil?
Sketch the eyelids and the iris circle with a hard pencil. Shade the iris with lines from the pupil to the edge, make the pupil the darkest part and leave the highlight white. Add the lashes and the shadow under the upper lid with a soft 2B pencil.
What pencil should I use to draw eyes?
An HB pencil works for the outline, and a soft 2B or 4B for the lashes, pupil and shadows. An eraser can bring back a highlight if you shaded over it by mistake.
Which eye drawing should a beginner start with?
Round cartoon eyes or a simple eye with long lashes. Then try the closed eye and the wink, and after that the shiny anime eyes.
