How to Draw the Eye - Different Angles

[@mehdimoussaoui1712]

Drawing an eye is pretty easy. The issue comes when it's about drawing two eyes

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Mehdi Moussaoui I should do that too.

[@18782.]

Art of Wei you should do eye placement on the face. on different angles

[@benpenph]

I agree

[@maryharvey724]

Yes. And balancing size of eyes with nose & mouth. Love his videos!!!

[@leserbeacerbe6910]

No pretty easy lol

[@upinthesky.]

from 1:57 to 2:30 you explained to me the right way to do it. for years I had trouble with drawing the right shape. *Thank you so much* for this video, you don't know how much you helped me. no one mention it like this, they all said Almond shape and I had hard time doing it. your video is the only one as I know who did it diffrently and explained it very well.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+In The Sky Thanks. I'm glad it's helpful

[@jonssailing]

I've been practicing eyes for about a month watching over 50 videos and find yours to be the best. You're commentary and direction is clear and well thought out. I'm saving yours as the standard and look forward to watching more. Thank you!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Jonathan Landwer Thank you Jonathan.

[@rebeccabrooks484]

So far, in all my searches for clear, actual step-by-step instruction, you are the best!

[@seanrataiczak7064]

This series of facial feature drawing tutorials have really help me in my short career. Thank you so much!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Awesoe. Thanks Sean

[@AnandShivan]

Thanks Wei, when I get stuck and stop drawing, your videos get me back into it every time... I think it's the simplicity of the techniques you communicate..... anyhow, thanks again!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks Shivan. I'm glad I can get you to draw again=).

[@inespaschoarelli1287]

Hi! What is very interesting in your video is the way you explain the whole process, the "whys" and "hows". You are a very good teacher. Thank you!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Inês Paschoarelli Thanks Ines. Just trying to show my own process on drawing.

[@BarCairo]

Please make other videos for sketching noses and lips and ears from different angles Thumps up if you guys need that too!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Bar Cairo Yeah, I plan to do that. Thanks.

[@dothiphuonganh8272]

I have searched and watched a lotttt of eyes tutorials, but none of them has really helped me with my paintings. Then I found your tutorial, and that was a huge discovery for me :)))) Extremely helpful and enlightening, thank you so much

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Thi phuong anh Do Great. I'm glad it is helpful

[@imdianetooify]

I would love to think that this is how you make your living, and it has turned out to be very successful for you! I love your videos, you have an excellent way of explaining why this works!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks again Diana.

[@roronoasomeone]

That tip about the outline of the eye shape really helped--I've been (incorrectly) drawing almond eyes all my life. Thanks for sharing!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+roronoasomeone Yup, that's where most people get it wrong.

[@tanastish]

I am not a bad artist, but you increased my drawing-skills within minutes. Thanks!!! Now the eyes in my drawings are more alive and natural due to the "trick" with the highest points.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

tanastish Thanks for watching tanastish.

[@zimtstern8295]

I love how your videos are so very detailed, yet so easy to understand and follow. thanks for putting so much effort in helping others improve their drawing skills. :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Theresa Pe Thank for watching Theresa. I'm glad it helps.

[@ozgursulum4116]

I can draw eyes but ı cant combine with the face parts

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+özgür sülüm That's a bit more tricky. Have you checked out my head construction video?

[@ozgursulum4116]

no but I checking right now thanks

[@joybridges7505]

great technical issues with the new version of this sketch

[@benpenph]

Yeah I hV same problem

[@GanKForce]

Easily one of the best teachers on KZbin, good shit Wei don't stop making videos plz.

[@giugiu3447]

Thank you for your teaching method... I loved it. You taught it, showed it in a similar way....

[@MoonaWolf-zq6tx]

this is the greatest eye lessons i've ever learned

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Awesome, and you have glasses on=)

[@DanRJonesWICKED91]

I could have put this on any one of your videos, because all of the ones I have watched have helped me immensely. I said in January that 2018 was going to be the year that I actually started making drawing a habit and, so far, with no small amount of help from your videos, it definitely has been. It's not just the technical stuff, which is obviously key, but you're just so laid back too and it's sort of infectious. I've drawn a lot of crap amongst the good stuff, but rather than discarding it, I've kept it all and tried to find the good parts of it and replicate it while improving the bad parts - clearly it's an emotional game as well as a physical and technical one! I've been sitting down with a pencil in hand 3-4 times a week since the start of the year now and have seen a notable improvement, rather than going through a spurt of drawing loads on a random weekend and being disappointed in the lack of any progress. And part of making that habit happen is looking forward to watching your take on things and drawing along with you. So really, I guess I just want to say thanks for making these videos. They've been useful and have made drawing a hobby I can really enjoy again! tl;dr - your videos have helped me a lot - thank you for making them! :)

[@joybridges7505]

was interrupted while you were giving me one of your great lessons hope to get back to your class this evening thank you for your time Joy Bridges

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Joy Bridges =). Thanks Joy. I'm glad you're treating my channel like a classroom=).

[@joybridges7505]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and great work with up coming artists as myself Joy

[@aleksristovski5337]

I found your tutorial the most helpful on the internet. Thanks

[@bflaz8620]

Like how you go into detail regarding shapes and their connection to the face. Thanks and again, looking forward to more of your videos.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Edwin Jun Yeah, it's big shapes first then details.

[@lanathorne6940]

Between you and proko, I’m feeling more confident in drawing eyes. Thank you so much for this valuable content!

[@johanblume2621]

I've watched many of your videos and you're a great instructor! I am new to drawing and I just wanted to learn how to sketch faces for enjoyment, and your teaching and approach and explanations are great for a "non-artist" like me ! Thanks so much for taking the time to post these amazing vids.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+John Blume That's great! Thanks for watching John.

[@claudiaweslowski]

Thank you very much for your now 8 years old tutorial - and all the others! Hopefully it'll for a long time to be seen!!! I did it and others and maybe a lot more from my new teacher :))))

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Drawing is timeless=).

[@theartofbeingcompletelyran1788]

Thenks a lot!! This is the first quick, simple, well explained and working tutorial i ever saw!

[@jareenchowdhury637]

im self taught, and one if the most annoying parts of it is that you never know whennyour doing something wrong. this was very helpful. thank you.

[@adrianaacosta4638]

Same ! I never really knew how to draw good realistic faces and stuff, but thanks to this guy he's taught me a lot

[@CExotic]

Adriana Acosta Jareen Chowdhury "Well looks like we're all in the same boat! Just give me some room! You guys are squishing me!🌊

[@Leon7]

This is the best proper way to draw an eye

[@marsea_]

That's one of the best tutorials I've ever watched!

[@madamesoleil2040]

Thank you very much from France. Now i am proud of my eyes drawings. You are one very good complement of my drawing teacher. It help me to understand and learn faster.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thank you madame=)

[@kantasoni7870]

Nice tutorial 👏 Explained in a very easy way, Thanks 🎉

[@drnh4444]

Best videos on KZbin!! Everytime I watch one i want to draw and improve. I'm still struggling and get frustrated but determined to improve. Thank you for your inspiration

[@taranthyll]

Great video, thanks very much, Wei! I've always drawn almond-shaped eyes before, and learning to shift the peaks of the eyelids off-center was a real revelation. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these tutorials; they've really helped me to improve my drawing.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thank you Sean, I'm glad it helps you.

[@lucianagassi2297]

You are a wonderful teacher!! Drawing seems so easy with you!!!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Luciana Gassi Thanks Luciana. Keep practicing and it'll be easy for you too=).

[@alicopacu]

best tutorial i watched so far

[@ArtofWeiHo]

jfwyr safdv Thanks=).

[@alicopacu]

Art of Wei thank you! this helped a lot

[@fernandobarbayani349]

Can you make a tutorial about the differences of pencils and suggestions about what pencils are better than others to draw shadows or others things. Thank you Wei!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Fernando Barbayani Thanks Fernando, I do have a video on that. It's one of my really early videos. You can check that out.

[@Blowfish508]

Thank you so much! This helped a lot. I usually only focus on forward facing sketches, and decided to broaden my horizons

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Blowfish508 Awesome. Good luck.

[@sparkleprizm199]

You're so talented! Thanks for the vids.

[@cal5750]

Even though I'm capable of photorealism, where my skill lacks is creativity. After a few years of just doing photorealistic drawings I noticed that I was never actually able to portray my own thoughts and ideas into an image and that I didn't want to just replicate anymore. I was never able to grasp anything in my drawing classes or from books, but your tutorials have helped tremendously! Thanks!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Callintz That's great. I'm glad it helpful. It's good that you've put in time into photorealistic drawings, because it'll help you be able to draw from your imagination. Without the traditional skills, your ideas will come out like crap, just like modern art=).

[@cal5750]

WeiWorks Haha, agreed! It's almost as if I went backwards. I was so focused on the precision and detail of my work that I forgot about the fundamentals. At the risk of making a bad pun, it's back to the drawing board for me!

[@cassiehunt5408]

I commented on one of your other videos and said your work was magic. IT IS! I swear I could not draw anything realistic before now I can I guess your videos break it down to my level in an amazing way

[@stephaniealyssa1115]

This is really cool and it helped me a lot... Like seriously. Although can I ask you to teach us how to draw a left eye? All tutorials in drawing an eye is for the right eye... it'd really mean a lot if you did a tutorial on how to draw a left eye :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Stephanie Alyssa If you're having problems envisioning the opposite eye, maybe there's a way to flip this video in your playback. You can always use a mirror=).

[@blendergaming1579]

Your videos have really helped me, and I've only watched this one and the one on how to draw heads from any angle. It's sad because I have learned more about drawing from those two videos than anywhere else.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

blendergaming Thanks=). It's funny that quite a few others have said the same thing. Makes me wonder what kind of art education out there.

[@13Moondancer]

Brilliant tutorial - wonderfully explained. Wish I'd seen this years ago. Many, many thanks.

[@chase0073]

Awesome! You are completely off the chain! That means really really good! All this with just a pencil. I have a lotta work to do!?! :-) Thanks much!

[@diegogutierrez8299]

Thank you for your talent and sharing your knowledge

[@ArtofWeiHo]

diego gutierrez Thanks deigo.

[@leofcuomo2581]

Your videos are the best I have seen. They always encourage me to keep drawing. Thank You….

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Leo F Cuomo Thank you Leo. I'm glad I can motivate people out there.

[@R4L14N]

im glad your channel exists, it gives me hope that i can be a good drawer aswell without having to fork out thousands for courses and the like.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks. Yeah, you don't need to pay for course. Just keep drawing and things will come naturally. Trust me on this. That's how other artist get to where they are, it's just by practice. You might be able to accelerate your progress with course, but getting books and looking for free resources online is just as good in my opinion. Nothing beats practice.

[@filthysightsnomad8859]

You really have a gift. I find it really cool how you can draw a regular eye outline which looks very average and turn it into something I really find great looking. I really enjoy your videos. 👍

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+Christopher Ward Thanks Christopher.

[@Scenefrombooks]

Thank you so much for all your tutorials!! They are amazing and very very helpful !! Looking forwards for new videos!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

The key to art is the shadow and shades

[@janebaker406]

I can't thank you enough for your easy to follow tips it's helped me so much ....keep the tutorials coming. 😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Jane Baker Thanks Jane. Will do.

[@Wampielina]

All your videos are very helpful. Thanks!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Captain Wampie Thanks Captain!

[@lJaneDoel]

oh, thank you so much. I am relieved to know that this area near the inner corner of an eye is a difficult one, not that I am just too stupid to draw it easily :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

=). It's very complicated. If you look at enough eye, you should be able to get a good grasp of the shape. But it's still complicated to shade.

[@dspindl1]

Wow! This makes so much more sense to me than beginning with the "football" or "almond" shape. Thank you for making this video. I also would love to see you make a video on how to correctly place both eyes on a face. Keep up the great work. Terrific videos!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Dave Spindle Thanks Dave.

[@top10ig77]

this video just solved my problems of drawing eyes from different angles😃😃😃

[@lizbenson7125]

Oh my GOSH. I get it now. You're still helping me out. I have come a long way since I last commented but I still have so much to learn

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Liz Benson Thanks Liz. The learning never stops.

[@beatricebelardini7462]

Thank you so much for doing this video! It helped me a lot more than other videos i've seen about eyes. You're great and really can explain very good how things work, in detail. I loved the shading part and that you've drawn also eyebrows and nose, it was very useful.. I admire your technique!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Beatrice Belardini Thanks Beatrice.

[@franciscojgamboa8176]

You are mega helpfull because you now better than doctors part very especific parts of the human body to draw better portraits I'm real find helpful all you refer on your class thank you from the inside of my heart ❤ 😀 to share all that knowledge to people like me we are not available to pay or go to the school God bless 😀

You're a wonderful artist Wei, thank you for this lesson....

[@ArtofWeiHo]

ura239 Thanks for watching ura239.

[@AG51Thud]

Thank you Wei. Your videos are awesome. Explaining how to shape the eye (not like an Almond) is extremely helpful because I have been struggling with that for a while. What pencil did you use for the eye tutorial? I'm amazed at the range of value you get from just one pencil.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thanks Michael. Yeah, the eye shape is not what we've always imagined=). I'm using a 2B and a 4B pencil. The range of value will depend on how well you can control your hands. It's not hard.

[@drawingschoolart]

[@risaj6144]

What pencil are you using in this video? Any specific brands that are good? Also what paper are you using?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

risa j I like Steadtler brand. I've tried cheaper brands and the quality just isn't there. By that I mean the graphite is not consistent, leading to little chunks breaking off as you draw.

[@Enzo_Matrix92]

Drawing the eye is the easy part for me. Shading it is the hard part. Not much for pencil but in pen....

[@ArtofWeiHo]

It'll just be a lot of clean cross-hatching with pen.

[@Summerman14]

hai wei.....will you show three quarter view of both eyes...far eye and near eye...

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Let me think about that. Thanks.

[@ArtofWeiHo]

[@theariesmotivation2898]

Can u make tutorial for lips from different angles

[@ArtofWeiHo]

[@30RockChannel]

Thanks a lot for the video. I have an unrelated question. Do you think if I can draw the girl I like well that would impress her?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

[@liverg4470]

You are very big talent.

[@lunafreeman1]

thank you so much for these videos Professor Wei, i've been drawing almond shaped eye since i could remember. Your videos really are very helpful. Keep doing what you do :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Yeah, I think most of us are guilty with that at one point or another=).

[@lunafreeman1]

lol :)

[@janhorn4946]

I learned so much from you're tutorials, would you have any tips and trick for mw how to increase my drwing skills from life. Thanks in advance :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Jan Horn Thanks Jan. Well, drawing from life is a bit tougher as things keep moving around. When references are not stationary, try to capture the overall shape first. That's the best way to do it. I'm mostly referring to figure life drawing.

[@suziecube6478]

Thank you for your videos, it realy helped me, after a long break of drawing. Keep it up! 😁 first i thought i cant do it anymore, but with your help, the sky is the limit 😁

[@baraajaafar2768]

That's really good 👌🏼👌🏼

[@KinWong828]

Great turtoral, I'll be sure to share it :D

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Thank you KinshiniHaskashi, much appreciated.

[@fredduff3899]

For me the most challenging thing of drawing the eyes is drawing TWO of them that are same size. They always look good as they are being drawn but after I come back and look at them with fresh eyes they are wacked! I love to draw faces but I struggle with this everytime! For some reason the right eye always looks higher than the left eye. Maybe it because I draw with my pad horizontally. Does drawing with the pad at a more vertical angle help with this problem?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

Fred Duff There's usually a slant to everyone's drawings because of their hand position. Just make more rough sketches to get the correct positions before drawing in the details. I remember I use to do that too, but that was a long time ago.

[@carolpengra4458]

thank you i would love to Share how mine kooks, after 13 years of not picking a pencil... I'm so excited :)

[@ArtofWeiHo]
