'Les yeux sont le miroir de l'dme
(The eyes are the mirror of the soul)
To understand what the person is like, it is enough to look into his/her eyes.
The eyes tells us not only about the character of a person, but also reflects the physical state of the whole body.
The eyes is the most beautiful part of the human body for me, because the eyes manifest the connection between the body and the soul between the matter and the spirit. It is also the most FUN to draw because of how exciting it is to shape the iris.
So, here is my final drawing:
I hope you are liking what you see :)
Below is the full process of how I made it. It is very simple, even a novice like me was able to draw it. So, im sure you can also. It is just a bit tedious, but its well worth it. Satisfaction guaranteed! 😁
Materials used:
Sketch book
Pencils - HB, 4B and 6B
Eraser
Cotton Buds (as blending stump)
Sharpener (because we need to keep the pencils sharpened to draw precise details)
Step 1: Guidelines
Here I used HB pencil to sketch the outlines of the eye. I drew the sketch very lightly so that I could erase it easily. Note: Make sure to keep your pencils sharp throughout the whole drawing. This will give better results.
Drawing the highlights and the pupil.
Step 2: Pupil
Here I shaded the pupil using 6B pencil, I pressed the pencil firmly to achieve a solid black color and darkened the outlines with a 4B pencil.
Step 3: Shading
Now, I started shading the iris very lightly with an HB pencil. After I'm done with the first layer of graphite, I added more layers to thhe darker areas where the shadow of the eyelid would hit. I used a 4B pencil to have darker color.
Step 4: Creating layers
I continued adding more layers to the iris using a 6B pencil and used cotton buds to blend the graphite and create a smoother gradient until I was satisfied with the result. And I scribble some lines to the iris to make it more detailed.
Step 5: Eyeball
Next, I shaded the eye ball with a 4B pencil and blend it using cotton buds to create the shadows and I added veins and blended it to have a smooth finish.
It's now looking alive.
Step 6: Skin
Next, I shaded the skin and tear duct using 4B pencil and smoothen it using cotton buds.
Step 7: More Skin shading
I shaded the skin to create more layers to create depth and realism to the image.
Step 8: Done!!!
Adding the finishing touches and erasing the unneccesary graphite. And of course adding steemit logo and my username with signature😄
GIF Process
That is all folks!!!
I hope you enjoy my simple tutorial
and hope to see you draw your own beautiful eye!

The eyes are the most difficult to draw correctly. Congratulations, you nailed it! :D
Thank you @catherinegairard. i also think they are the most difficult to draw because of how beautiful they are:)
As they say Ted7 the eyes are the windows to our souls. And you have captured this in your drawing. Great job for a beginner. You have talent. The shading in the pupils and highlights are realistic. I would love to have seen a little more detail of his eyelid, his skin, it almost feels like the drawing stopped at the eyelashes. Love that you have done this as a tutorial with video gif too. Will be following to see you develop further.
wow. that looks amazing - super realistic. Well done!

Thanks bro!👍
sorry, I just support you with a joke comment. but I think your post is. . . .
Drawing's not bad, could use a little more contrast and tbh could use another article preview image... why the fascination with the Horus symbolism?
finally! someone criticise my work, I've been waiting for someone to point out the things that are lacking in my drawing so that I could reflect on it. I am a complete novice at drawing, so I would really like to hear a lot of criticism. thank you for taking the time to comment your thoughts about my drawing, i will definitely work on it.

Looks great champ. I've always enjoyed drawing eyes, definitely can be a challenge at times but the finished product is very rewarding.
yep! it is really rewarding to see the final drawing, all the efforts in adding the layers and those tiny details are well worth it :) thank you for the comment @resinart :)
Good job! Now add some color to it maybe?
thank you @chesiq. I wanted to add color but im not confident with my coloring skills yet so maybe in the future i will add colors into it:)
It's amazing, it's real. I like it.
thank you @franlm:)
you are talented, my friend
thank you my friend :)
I adore it! It really caught my eye! Honestly, it has made me want so badly to get back to pencil drawing. It has been a couple of weeks since I have done a drawing tutorial (been working on other projects of life) What I am trying to express is that you have taught me something - and it was just what I needed. I love the way you have "focused" on one item of the face like the "eye" and you have really perfected it. Yes as artists we need to be working the basics and just keep expanding our skills. That is what has hit me looking at your post. So, thank you. I upvoted you too.
thank you so much @granblock. I am so glad that my simple drawing was able to inspire you to draw again :).
great tutorial and absolutely realistic eyes :)
Upvoted !
thank you @nehab :)

Very well done. I could never do something like this. You’re going to do great here. Keep it up :)
