How to Draw a Realistic Female Eye

For those of you out there who are interested in drawing portraits or fictional faces, but have problems drawing realistic female eyes, here's a brief guide.

Steps

1

Draw a long, slightly curved line. This is the top edge of the eye.
2

Draw another one below, more intensely curved. This is the bottom edge and these lines should be connected at one corner. This corner is the outer corner of the eye. These lines at the inner corner must be slightly parted.
3

Add another intensively curved line, this is the top eyelid.
4

Draw the "circle" of the eye, this consists of the iris (the outer ring) and the pupil (the black in the middle). Mind this detail: the iris isn't completely shown; it is partially covered by the eyelid, this gives the sense of depth.
5

Draw the eyelashes. Keep in mind, you must draw them on the edges of both eyelids, more on the bottom than on the top. Try to keep the same distance between them and make them approximately under the same angle. Draw the top eyelashes longer than the bottom.
6

Draw the baseline for the eyebrow. It should begin a bit before the inner corner and end at the end of the outer corner. Make it as angled as you want. A more distinct angle opens the eye more, but also gives the "fake cosmetics" kind of look, so try to achieve a balance (unless you're drawing elves, this is where intense angles are very welcome).
7

Add two circles - one on the iris and one on the pupil, to achieve the effect of the light reflection. These can be as near each other or as far apart as you like.
8

Add another short, curved line below and left of the inner corner, this is the line of the nose.
9

Now fill in the eyebrow, using a great number of short, curved motions; this way it will look like actual hair. It should thin out as you advance toward the outer corner. (This one turned out ugly, though x.x) Color the pupil and the iris, leaving the previously drawn circles white (light reflection). Please notice the color of the iris grows darker while moving upwards; this is because the top eyelid casts a shadow on it.

If you want to make your eye look like it has makeup applied, color the top eyelid (eyeshadow effect), and darken the edges just below the eyelashes (eyeliner effect).

Today we’ll continue our series of superhero drawing tutorials with a guide to drawing Spiderman. We’re going to create a full body image of Spiderman. This tutorial has a lot of details but if you work slowly and meticulously you will be able to create your own, great looking Spiderman drawing.

If you need additional help, check the video guide to drawing Spiderman and printable step-by-step drawing instructions at the bottom of this guide.

We will sketch a rough outline for the Spiderman drawing first. The first simple shapes will guarantee that the dimensions and positions are going look right in the completed drawing.

Have your eraser handy and keep your lines light. The first shapes will be erased before your Spiderman illustration is complete.

In the guide below, each step is highlighted in a light blue color.

You don't need any special pens or tools. A regular pencil, eraser, and paper are all you need. If you want, you can also color the drawing with colored pencils or pens.
