How to Draw Eyes

[@jameslabs1]

Nobody ever focuses on emotions or expressions caused by the mouth. Smiling etc changes the eyes dramatically. The demonstration/lesson was very good. Thanks

[@DavidFinchartist]

That really is a good point...

[@NickGuy0320]

Yeah but if you learn how to draw smiling eyes then the mouth makes more sense

[@jeffriesbryanangelo7159]

true

[@hmmph2467]

@@NickGuy0320 yeah how the muscles all interact with each other

[@JhoangelF]

i got that in mind and it's incredible how expressions seem more natural

[@ceonixx2924]

It’s really cool to see that even a seasoned artist who’s been drawing for decades doesn’t always get the proportions right on the first time

[@anzolomyer4584]

This dude is so badass. I still watch and re-watch his perspective video. The one where you place different characters on different planes and such. Great teacher. Very glad for his success.

[@hermiesrokmysox]

Yeah it’s insane how intuitive it all is for him at this point since he is so skilled

[@Nutiiiiiiii]

It’s so hard to find someone you can feel yourself listening to easier than the rest. You keep it simple and demonstrate in a way that I can understand better, thank you

[@rickythomas9698]

You're the sole reason why I am improving in art, well definitely there are other artists has well but after watching your tutorials my anatomy has greatly improved. I was a fan of your artwork even without knowing it was done by you, i still have that Superman poster which I got from comics. Thanks a lot.

[@1MightyR]

Well this was an eye opener! Lol! I never tried drawing them this way! I will now! Thanx David for breaking it down!!💪🔥

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks Mighty!

[@YourArtJournal]

I agree!

[@noxanneballadynasowacka6125]

I applaud you for describing your process from a logical standpoint (e.g. the eyeball sits in a skull, therefore the socket is the basis, therefore the eyebrow follows along its upper rim). A lot of art instructors on KZbin struggle tremendously with conveying their information in a way that's feasible to somebody who just doesn't get it. Even understanding the structure of an eye, I've still tremendously struggled with grasping _why_ it's laid out the way it is, and you've helped me alleviate some of these headscratchers. I think Andrew Loomis put this best when he compared constructing a figure/face to a carpenter measuring a board before cutting it; you just have to do it every time, if you want to get it right. Seriously, the best feeling an artist can have while studying is, "how could've I not figured this out on my own?" and I find myself thinking that all the time while watching your videos. Cheers.

[@speedbagboxer7451]

These videos have made me a much better artist, thanks for making these it’s a huge help.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Happy to hear that!

[@Lameasstraficsafteyearring]

This method works the best for me. I really struggled finding actual eye tutorials that dont just say ''then add the detail'' . Lots of kisses!!!

[@kanteannightmare]

Videos like this need the ability to hit the thumbs up more than once.

[@TheFlamingGamerYT]

Aye, it’s great that your doing another one of these kinds of videos again. I could use a lecture on how to draw eyes since I don’t really think much about the eyes other than to make them look good enough

[@jeutdraw3021]

theflaminfgamer... lets connected,, I love drawing,,,,

[@roxanika922]

After watching tons of videos on how to draw eyes, I finally found one that makes a lot of sense. Very well explained! Thank you so much!!! :)

[@raycarter4030]

it’s amazing that you’d give this knowledge and expertise free to the world. Thanks.

[@DavidFinchartist]

My pleasure!

[@VangBill96]

So I just realized I can’t draw a sphere so I’m back to the fundamentals

[@juliansanchez9106]

At first i got mad and really frustrated because i thought that this was for beginners or something like that, but i couldn't get anything correct or in my mind, now (4 or 5 months later) i can REALLY understand all of it. This helped a lot, thanks man :'3

[@Beetletreuse]

This helped me a lot. I've watched a lot of videos, read a lot of books, took art classes, etc. but this video has had a drastic change on how I draw faces. I just drew a guy face for the first time without a reference that actually looks like a dude and it's my favorite thing I've drawn in years. Next step is learning how to draw expressions better. Thanks!

[@zeneto6841]

Internet is a jewel. Great class. Thanks

[@dieseldg]

This is a great tutorial. Very in depth and easy to follow along with. Thanks Dave! Great editing job Uri!

Thanks, Dan! Uri is the goat.

[@uri_monteiro]

Thank you, Dan and Dave!

[@dieseldg]

@@uri_monteiro You're welcome, Uri.

[@ScilexGuitar]

you make it seem so easy. I can understand and draw the eye as a sphere in the beginning, but constructing the head like that, placing the features, its very difficult for some reason

[@Gebev]

Can't think of a better way to do this lecture. Thank you. We are so incredibly lucky to have an artist like you teach us. Incredible.

This was really helpful! I don't know why I've never thought to use crosshairs on the eyeballs for pupil placement

[@DavidFinchartist]

They really do help establish the form of the sphere, for sure

[@laylajameel1836]

Sooo I always struggled with drawing eyes. But after watching this video and applying the technique, it became better. I had more proper proportions. I am sooo happy

[@eliskahulakova6906]

It's really very interesting and I will have to remember and try it sometimes. Even through I am used to draw eyes in completly different shape, it never hurts to be able to do things differently and understand them better. Thank you, Mr. Finch

[@DavidFinchartist]

And so many of the same rules still apply!

[@slimboyplayz7394]

Ive watched millions of tutatorial and finally I solved the problem of drawing eyes, my problem wasn't actually about the eyes, but the structure of the head and where to place it, probably because we're both left handed😊

[@Zazation88]

This video is a dream come true

[@korosheht5446]

That was amazing in the beginning I don't give any attention on drawing eyes but now I can draw them exactly then a cartoon eye

[@kabeerdal8000]

Thanks to the guy who likes it

[@shadedpiano]

i find leaving the circle used to draw the entire eye in quite useful since your top eyelid has a curved shape it helps establish that shape of the eyelid before shading

[@ezraezekiel4578]

great tutorial mr finch

[@edimadigabi7112]

Is it just me or is he a little fast to draw along to? I look away for a moment to put down a line on my paper and he’s already on a different drawing.

[@skeetyboot]

I agree wholeheartedly. The advice is amazing, but I'm finding it really hard to follow.

You can try to slow the video down using the video settings so it can be slower. Hope this helps!

[@Hazel_989]

@@skeetybootHe’s a brilliant artist but all of his tutorials are quite fast-paced! I’m sure they’re not for beginners/ upper beginners, probably suitable for intermediate/advanced artists who already can draw beautifully but his advice can help them polish their techniques or simplify the process! Also slowing down the video is not really helpful !

Woah so much knowledge! After the first 5 minute I was like "Ok so we know how to draw the eye from all angles, what's left to do?" Actually a lot is left: learning about eye sockets, eyebrows, how to draw in a practical manner, how eyelids move, etc.

[@khoavo5758]

8:43 Now I suspect that is an actually skull.

Top Pro. I have had several of your tutorial many years, but I need to get my hand back from 3D CG before I could touch them. Moreover, I needed info on how the eye was seated and the correlation to the eye socket and relation to the skull. Exactly what I needed David thanks for a full study.

This is so helpful! Thank you! The point on the indentation from the brow line to the start of the nose and also before the cheek bone make everything easier to understand! And thanks for explaining the bulging shape of the iris and its effect on how the eye looks at certain angles-it will help me so much as the eyes and nose are the most protruding parts of the face, thus needing as much detail and correct proportions as possible.

[@ordinary7sasha]

Maybe not both protruding, but definitely the parts that need fine details.
