How to Draw Different Eye Shapes | UNIQUE

This tutorial guides you through the intricate steps of designing a realistic eye from scratch. I'm using the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16, but you can also do it in pencil as well.
Once you get the hang of it, try drawing eyes without using any construction lines at all!

I like how you formulate these drawing methods in a very procedural way; it's a lot more how I approach things so it's helped me more than other tutorials.
