Description Well this took a little bit of time. Words take time... I also have no idea what category to put this in...

I apologize in advance for the crappy quality of editing. I have microsoft paint at my disposal >.<

There are many tutorials out there for anime eyes, but none that really go in depth with the specific parts of the eye, and most of them just gloss over a couple different eyes. Naturally, I thought I'd add to the tutorial world by making a bit more of an in depth study that you can take pieces from to make your own style, including numerous examples. 

Naturally there's a lot of words and explanations for uses and measurements, but I included the measurements of each part of the eye next to each eye so you don't need to read if you don't want to; you can just learn from looking. I apologize that some of the measurements and a bit of the right side were cut off during the scanning process, but I included all measurements in the paragraphs associated with each eye, so you can find them there.

I also intended to talk a bit about the upper eye folds in these paragraphs, but was really short on room and I didn't want to throw too much info at you. I'll include a bit more details about the upper eye folds in the next tutorial I do. 

Also note that I used to same style of iris for all these eyes to keep focus on the eye shape, but I will also demonstrate the use of different irises in the next tutorial I do, which will be a bit more around irises themselves and selecting a style of iris for your eye shape.

And I forgot to thicken the outsides of the irises like I usually do in my drawings, but I think this works out better as you can see the lines a bit better.

Any questions don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best to answer them.


I don't even know how long this took...
Done using an HB pencil, fine point sharpie, and blending stumps.
