Draw 3 circles.

Step 2

Lightly sketch the top lid.

 Step 3

Now draw the lower lid.

 Step 4

Now draw a curved line above the top lid.

 Step 5

Now fix things up a bit and add the tear duct on the left side of the eye.

 Step 6

Put some shadow into the tear duct by hatching a few lines. Darken in the pupil (the inner circle) and darken the outline of the circle that surrounds it.

 Step 7

Now draw lines in the iris (the area around the dark circle (pupil). They are sort of like spirograph lines … like just making twisty lines. Hatch some lines for shadows under the top lid.

 Step 8

Now draw the lashes as I did above.

 Step 9

Now use a really good eraser to erase 2 highlights in the pupil / iris. If you did this with marker or pen or paint, then get some white paint and paint in the highlight.
