How To Draw For Confidence: 3 Great Videos For How To Draw Eyes
In your quest to become more confident through improving your drawing skills, it may be a good idea to consult videos so that you can actually see how drawings are made. Luckily, in the age of Youtube, there are many drawing tutorials available - for free!
In this entry, I’ll focus on drawing eyes, since eyes are among the most popular things for people to draw - and also, if you draw great eyes, people will sit up and take notice!
Here are three how-to-draw videos that should help you in your quest to draw beautiful eyes.
In this video, Mark Crilley, author of the Miki Falls manga, demonstrates how to draw manga-style eyes 4 different ways. Of these, I think his own style (the very last set of eyes), is the best - still, all the drawings should give you pointers that you can adapt to your own style, so I think this is a very useful video to watch.
Drawing in a more realistic style than Mark Crilley, “sycra” demonstrates how starting with rough lines and shapes, you can come up with some very compelling looking eyes.
Stephanie Valentin does an even more realistic eye in her how-to-draw video, complete with narration text. Bonus points for Django Reinhardt music! (By the way, she’s also an accomplished musician - check out her other videos if you’re interested in the electric violin.)
