How to Draw a Realistic Eye - Step by Step Eye Tutorial - You can draw this!

CHECK OUT MY NEW 2021 Eye video tutorial!
Hi guys! A special Eye Tutorial needs a special introduction!
In this video I will show you How to Draw a Realistic Eye step by step! This is my second realistic eye tutorial on my channel using graphite pencils, and it's funny that I am making one more, as my first eye tutorial just hit 1 MILLION views! And I promise you - with patience and a few art materials, YOU can draw this too!
I don't have high hopes this video will be as popular, but I hope this step by step eye tutorial like the first one will also teach a lot of people how to draw an eye. My hubby and I have had so much fun in the community created around that first hype and popularity of that million-view eye video and we would like to thank everyone who sent us their beautiful eye drawings and greetings on social media.
Please keep doing that!!
When drawing a realistic eye you need to have at least one pencil, an eraser and a blending brush. And then of course you need patience! Here are the main chapters of this video:

This tutorial really helped me with my drawings and I can't wait to try another of your videos! I would just like to point out that if you don't have a makeup brush you can also use your finger to help shade.

[@NinaBlangstrup]

True about the finger. I made a big blending tool test - go check out what tool won ☀️✏️🥰

[@timallen3908]

I like to use an electric eraser. It comes with a variety of thickness erasers. Your grey eraser are great for ballpoint pen. I also use a Tombow mini eraser which is really good as is the squishy type. I’m back to your lesson. Thanks.

[@NinaBlangstrup]

I have never tried an Electric eraser before - Maybe I should 😇✏️

[@yaminisulochana4923]

Hi Nina. Eye was an organ that I avoided to perfect on my drawings and it stands out in every portraits that I had attempted years ago because it lacked expression. Thank you so much for the gentle explanation and tips to perfect it, I attempted to try an eye this time and stumbled upon your channel. It took me two days to complete. Nevertheless, my lashes are not great and shadin/blending in for waterline and skin below didn't turn out as good as yours. I am happy to have attempted it and feel confident to draw more eyes now :)

[@NinaBlangstrup]

I have a special video about lashes! Thank you for your sweet comment! ❤️

[@ashutoshrai3563]

This was literally helpful. Have to say, this one had my heart. Meaningful lines and strokes. Very beautifully done :) Thanks for this one. Love from India ♡

Hi Nina, thank you so much for this, it really helped. What is the brand and where did you get the white pencil to create the white lines in the iris?

You can buy any gel/jelly roll in any store pretty cheap. Try it to find one that rolls well and where the white stays. I bought a few on alixpres and they are actually okay too :) Be careful not to apply too much :)
