Drawing eyes can be a challenge because the proportions and shapes of the eye are so unique. With this easy tutorial, I’m going to show you how to draw a realistic female eye using relatively simple step-by-step instructions.
The most important takeaway from today’s tutorial is that everyone has a unique art and drawing style. Your drawing should not necessarily look like mine, and vice versa.
