people have asked me how i draw eyes so i made an extremely slap-dash eye tutorial! this is simply about how i draw a simple neutral eye, nothing to do with expressions (that’s a whole other thing).

start with the horizontal guide on the face, to help place the eyes. put circles where the eyes will go!

adjust the circles into diamond shapes– i got this idea from sinix design on youtube, it’s very helpful and easier to see where the lids should end than with a circle.

draw the top lid/lash lines, leaving a bit of space at the top of the diamond. keep each eye in time with each other– drawing one whole eye first makes it harder to match the other one.

then the bottom lids. i usually try to do all the lid shapes with a single curved stroke each. keep it simple pals!

irises & pupils. sometimes i’ll draw filled-in black circles for the irises, to help figure out where to place them naturally!

lid creases, use the leftover diamond at the top as a loose guide for where to place them. remember that the lid curves around the eyeball.

make adjustments! things don’t always come out perfect immediately. i usually have to thicken the lash line (i like mine quite thick), move the bottom lid up or down, and sometimes resize a whole eye (easier on computer than traditional, i know!). if you’re on a computer make sure to flip your canvas often so you can see these little things ❤

My last drawing tutorial was back in 2017, whoa, welp it looks like my drawing skills have gotten better. Since I have some more spare time, I will be doing new/updated art tutorials revisiting some of my previous topics.

I’ll post the tips publicly but my reference material and examples will be Patreon exclusive. If you like these tips and want to see more, support my Patreon! It allows me to focus on more material like this and I would really appreciate it .

Blossom: 

The most responsible and logical one to keep her sister out of trouble, but be sometimes overwhelmed when faced with situation she cannot even attempt to put in order.  She aims to become an alchemist but has failed a thousand or more times (because unknownst to her, homunculi can not perform alchemy). She reads a lot. In addition to homunculi’s superhuman strength, speed and recovery, her arms sharpen to a incredibly sharp point.

Buttercup:

The troublemaker tomboy who is often found playing and fighting with the boys than the girls. She has a good-heart to make the right, heroic decision most of the time, though her stubbornness sometime plays as her weakness rather than her strength. She is fiercely protective of everyone she loves. Like a dragon.

She is physically the strongest one and can produce an impenetrable armor from her skin (ultimate shield, or aka Greed).
