How to draw a simple manga/anime eye...

Step 1: Draw an outline of a rounded shape like the one below. Draw a pupil and a white oval shape placed slightly to the left of the pupil. Draw little templates of eyelashes at the top and darken the outline of the eye. Slightly shade the background and rub out the shading on the white oval shape.


Step 2: Start to shade darker in the top left corner. Also shade the pupil darker to make it bolder.

   Step 3: Lengthen the eyelashes and continue to shade darker in the top left corner and down. Remember to keep rubbing out the shading on the white oval shape, you want it to look brighter than everything else! Keep darkening the pupil to make it stand out.

Step 4: Make the outline much bolder. Make it thick and chunky to make it stand out. Remember to keep rubbing the oval shapes shading! (If there is any accidental shading there!) Continue to lengthen the eyelashes, make them darker and daintier. Keep making the top left corner darker and darker and shade as well until you get to the bottom. So now you should have a simple manga eye! If it doesn't look right try cross hatching the shading inside the eye!

So there you have it! I really hope you try and draw this and please let me know what you think by commenting or emailing me at email.photobanana@gmail.com Thank you!
