How to Draw Realistic Eyes for BEGINNERS - Super Detailed Instructions!

[@billhancock8645]

I have struggled with drawing my entire life. I'm 50 years old.... I've never had formal art classes (I'm a writer) and these tutorials are helping me out a great deal. Thank you for making drawing and art in general easier to understand and easier for us older folks to do.

[@Swarm1954]

Me too. I've become so Better with my art because of these tutorials. I'm proud of myself. Practicing every day makes it better too.

I'm in the same boat but I'm 57...I have written 6 books but couldn't draw a face properly and always wanted to "do" art. These tutorials are terrific. I've been drawing noses and mouths so far and my sketch pad looks Picasso, but I'm going to really get the hang of it by practice, practice and more practice!

I have always loved drawing but, I could never figure out a style that I enjoyed to draw. I have tried other drawing channels like Fun2draw and DrawSoCute but, those where more cartoony and I wanted to try something more realistic. So I kinda stopped draw unless I was bored and there was nothing on T.V. I was so happy when I came across your channel. I am getting an iPad Pro for my birthday (March 31) and I was most going to use it to play games and watch Netflix and KZbin. Now I can use it to draw and watch your channel! Thank you so much my passion for draw has been fulfilled again!

[@marylynneheitman4836]

𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗶_𝗣𝗛 I would prefer a traditional Ticondoriga or number 2 pencil, and a mechanical pencil. The eraser is a kneadable Prismacolor eraser. Also, as an artist, I understand how hard it is to find cheap blending stumps, at least where I'm from, so you can use a Q-tip or peice of tissue. Hope this helps ;)

[@Nancy-tr5fi]

I love the way you draw the eye. They look like my eyes which are variegated, green, blue and never could capture that. Thanks

[@CaptainBlackCrazy8]

Love the way you bring your work to life and make it pop! Thank you for tell what pencil your using for what action. It helps a lot. Would love a detailed tutorial on shading a full face. I still am not getting the layers down where I would like it. I see the contras in my sample photo, but am having difficulty duplicating it on my drawings. I am trying to draw every day and replay your stuff to get better and soak up every tidbits of knowledge! Thanks again!

[@RapidFireArt]

I have a face shading tutorial on my website but there's no video to go along with it yet, unfortunately. Here's a small tip: Use an image editing software like GIMP (it's 100% free) and "posterize" the image. It will simplify the values and make it easier for you to "see" and understand the lighting from your reference photo. Oh, I also have a general shading tutorial for beginners if you're interested. You can find it on the front page of RFA under lesson 9.

[@CaptainBlackCrazy8]

Thank you very much for your response. Looking up GIMP and how to install it on my devises. Your level of creativity inspires me to draw better when I see problems I am having explained, your a great help and thank you.

So even though I am a quadriplegic I thought that I would give it a try. I wasn't able to draw before my accident but I am going to try now with your videos to help me. I like your teaching style and step by step instructions.

[@muhammadwaleedrana4818]

Before I watched your videos, I used to believe that drawing and art work is a gift or talent. But ever since I've started watching your videos, I've come to realize that it's all about skill but most importantly, it's about the way you teach how to do it and I love how you draw after defining each step. You're amazing, and I love your art drawing, you're an angel 🎨😍❤🌌

[@jamesaritchie1]

It's about talent that allows you to develop skill. Talent is a very real thing. We have more than a hundred years of scientific evidence proving it. But talent is basically just a high IQ in a given area. It allows one person to learn faster than another. This is why there are nine year old kids who draw at professional level, and old people who have been trying for decades, but still aren't as good as those nine year old kids. The good news is that almost everyone has enough talent to get pretty good, or even to reach professional level, if they're willing to work hard enough. Some people are just naturally better at some things than other people are. This is just life. Before the internet and KZbin made us all forget about science, there was a rule of thumb, backed by science, that said if you didn't get pretty darned good at something, have some small success, within five years, chances are you never would succeed at that particular thing. There are exceptions to every rule, of course, but that five year rule was a good thing, and stopped a lot of people from growing old and disillusioned by failure when they could have been a genius in some other area. Anyway, talent dopes exist, and plays a part in everything, but it's no big deal because you probably have more than enough. What most people are missing isn't talent, it's work ethic and the basic common sense to know who is and who isn't a good teacher they should either listen to, or ignore completely.

You're very talented. I've been watching similar video's on drawing faces and notice everyone, so far, draws a similar concept of beauty. That's actually not too hard to draw. I'd like to see artists illustrate with "ordinary" faces, old/young, plain/average, faces similar to what we see everyday. Wrinkles, eye bags, wayward brows, neck rolls, uneven teeth, etc. The "character" actors of the art world.
