Hello my friends and fellow deviants.

I bring you my promised eye tutorial!

Woah, I really had no idea how long it would take me to make (4-5 hours), I had to start over 4 times because I ran out of room.

I really really hope that this will help you in some way. And I just want to tell you all that it isn't really as hard as it looks, its just hard to explain what I mean without many words. If you aren't sure, don't understand something or wonder what on earth I was rambling about, just send a comment and I will reply to the best of my ability. ^^

Oh and excuse my dry sense of humor, it was keeping me entertained as I was writing it up. And sorry for the annoying arrows, I hope they make sense.

I made reference to my phantomrider drawing which can be found here: [link]

and the final painting can be viewed here: [link]

I would really appreciate comments and if you attempt an eye drawing please show me I would love to see what you did.

Love and hugs.

Crystal.

I noticed something... very weird O_O
I can't describe it, but when I was reading through the steps, then it was like I already knew how it was done.
Ah I know! It was predictable for me. But... seriously, why?

Anyways, this tutorial was so great! It will help so many people! <3
Good job!

I completely forgot to check this out after I said I woud! D: But I'm checking it out now, so it's all good

This is SO helpful! I've always sucked at drawing eyes and eyebrows. Especially eyebrows And because of that I always end up drawing on a smaller scale to compensate for the fact that I can't get those little details right. But this helps. A lot! Thanks for the upload!

nataliebeth In reply to Shannen483 [2010-08-26 06:32:43 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thats okay, I have moments like that when theres alot to do so its on the back of your mind. ^^
But im glad you had a look at it in the end, it makes me happy to know that it helped you.
Eyebrows can be hard, but i think the secret is clean strokes that fade out to nothing, because essentially thats what they are.
I'd love to see your future work. ^^

You know what, while I read it I was like 'oh my gah! Such tiny writing! T.T *squint*' but then when I finished reading the entire damn thing it said to download it to see it clearer. xD Wow do I fail...

Anyways, wow! It's so amazing. O_O
With GIMP and a computer mouse...
I have a tablet, but those take TIME to get used to how to use it... and I still don't know how.

Thanks for making this! ^_^ It's so impressive and btw - I love how you organized this tutorial. xD Makes me look back at my own and realize how unprofessional they appear lulz.

Again, thanks and the picture of Bill lools lovely at the end Must've taken time to write this. :3

Hahahahaha, thats so funny and so cute at the same time. Yes, I wanted to make the writting bigger but it wouldn't fit and when i saw the picture open up and it wasn't big enough I enabled it for download, but your a trooper for reading it all in the small font.

Haha I might be getting a tablet for my birthday in 2 months. That would make my life all the more easier.

Your welcome, I actually had fun writting it, but I was glad to get it finished it took me maybe 5-6 hours... cause I had to restart about 4 times because I ran out of room.

Thankyou.

I started it at school today and got a proper read
But I suck at using a touchpad to draw with so I gave up.. Now I have my tablet and GIMP so I'll try again

The rambling is good, it makes sure you know exactly what to do
