00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:03,350
In this lecture we're gonna be talking about how to draw the eyes.
2
00:00:03,630 --> 00:00:08,930
Now eyes can get very complicated and there's a lot that goes into understanding the eye but I'm just
3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,040
gonna simplify it.
4
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:11,910
Just like I did with the rest of the body form.
5
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:16,050
Because when it comes to character design it's not necessarily super important that you know how to
6
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:18,150
draw a hyper realistic eye.
7
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:21,560
So we just want to make sure that we have an understanding of the shape and the form of the eye.
8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,020
Stuff like that but we don't need to get into the nitty gritty details.
9
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:26,220
So let's go ahead and begin.
10
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:28,860
So let's go ahead and start by drawing a facing forward eye.
11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,720
So when I draw an eye I usually like to just start by outlining kind of the shape of the eyelid and
12
00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:38,700
a mistake that a lot of people make is they'll just kind of draw the eyelid kind of shaped like a football
13
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:40,920
or an almond type of shape.
14
00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:46,650
But what you actually want to do is you want to kind of English downwards a little bit more so it is
15
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:51,060
almost like that type of a shape but it's a little bit different.
16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,550
So what kind of point out the differences when you're drawing the eye so the first difference is that
17
00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:00,510
this corner of the eye and that corner of the eye this is the tier doctor right there.
18
00:01:00,630 --> 00:01:04,210
This is going to be lower than the side corner of the eye.
19
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:08,460
So rather than drawing those on the same plane you wanna make sure that it kind of angles downwards
20
00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:09,840
a little bit.
21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,340
Another thing is you're gonna get kind of this slight curve right here upwards and then back down.
22
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:22,090
So this kind of curves out more like that and also this bottom eyelid tends to be a little bit more
23
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:26,600
flat and less curved than the top eyelid the top eyelid is going to have a little bit more of an art
24
00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:27,310
to it.
25
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:32,620
So the main thing that you want to remember is that the bottom eyelid is just a little less curved than
26
00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:37,330
the top and the corners the back or the side corner is gonna be higher than the tier duck.
27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,690
So those are the main things you want to remember when you're drawing the eyes then your eye should
28
00:01:40,690 --> 00:01:42,880
look pretty accurate.
29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,080
All right.
30
00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:46,980
So once I have the shape of my eye drawn in then I like to draw out my iris.
31
00:01:46,990 --> 00:01:52,600
So the IRS is just the colored part of the eye and I just kind of lately sketch that out first.
32
00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:54,490
Then we can come back in and darken that detail
33
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,910
now some things you point out about the IRS is that you want the IRS to come down to the bottom of the
34
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:06,100
eyelid either touch it or just right above it.
35
00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:11,230
But what you don't want is you don't want there to be any white showing above the IRS if you have white
36
00:02:11,230 --> 00:02:12,070
showing above there.
37
00:02:12,190 --> 00:02:16,900
It's going to look like your character is super surprised or stressed out or scared.
38
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:22,420
You want to make sure that the upper eyelid kind of hangs down over the top of the IRS by a little bit.
39
00:02:22,420 --> 00:02:27,630
Then we want to go ahead Marco the pupil so that's just the big black dot in the middle of your eye
40
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:32,120
and then want to go ahead and we're gonna work out where we want the reflection to be.
41
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,520
So we want to do this before we fill in the IRS and before we fill in the pupil BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA
42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,950
KEEP THE REFLECTION white.
43
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:42,840
So just kind of do a shape like that.
44
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:43,560
All right great.
45
00:02:43,570 --> 00:02:48,140
And we can kind of do a little curved line like this for the tier duct and that'll be our Tier doctor
46
00:02:48,140 --> 00:02:50,450
right there.
47
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:52,990
Then let's go ahead and let's draw out the eyelid.
48
00:02:53,180 --> 00:02:57,220
So the eye is an eyeball obviously.
49
00:02:57,290 --> 00:03:02,420
And so behind this eyelid and behind all of this skin around the eye is an actual ball.
50
00:03:02,450 --> 00:03:05,680
And so the eyelids actually kind of wrap around that ball.
51
00:03:05,690 --> 00:03:06,780
So that's what's happening here.
52
00:03:06,810 --> 00:03:12,740
We draw from the side you're going to see that even more so this is the brow kind of hanging down like
53
00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:13,370
that.
54
00:03:13,470 --> 00:03:23,560
And we have a line there and we have a line there that just kind of represent the crease of the eyelid.
55
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:24,520
All right great.
56
00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:26,500
And then we can go ahead and sketch sketching an eyebrow.
57
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:34,760
So generally I like to kind of sketch out the area of the brow muscle and the skull and all that.
58
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,680
So search from the tier ducting goes around to that corner which is kind of a big round shape like that
59
00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:42,590
and you can use that to kind of base your eyebrow off of.
60
00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:46,560
So I'm gonna go ahead and do the eyebrow something like this.
61
00:03:46,570 --> 00:03:51,560
Now this is a female eye so I'm gonna make the eyebrows a little bit thinner and I'm also going to make
62
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,860
it a little bit more arch.
63
00:03:53,870 --> 00:04:00,560
So we have a little bit more arch right there and there's all different types of eyebrows so when you
64
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,130
start drawing your own characters you're gonna want to look at a lot of reference study people in real
65
00:04:04,130 --> 00:04:09,470
life and just get an idea of like what kind of eyebrows are out there and how you can exaggerate them.
66
00:04:09,470 --> 00:04:10,490
All right so there's her eyebrow.
67
00:04:10,730 --> 00:04:14,340
So now we can go ahead and darken this all and so I'll start by darkening it in the pupil.
68
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,040
You're going to fill that in completely dark
69
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,680
and I'll darken the outside ring of the IRS
70
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,140
and then I can also go ahead and darken up here.
71
00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:33,810
So underneath the eyelid the upper eyelid you're gonna get dark shadow usually.
72
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,570
And also if your lighting is coming from the top that means the top of your iris is going to be dark
73
00:04:38,590 --> 00:04:42,270
and shadow because the IRS is kind of shaped like a bowl.
74
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,130
I won't get too into that but just so you know the top of your eyelid or the top of your iris is typically
75
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:54,790
gonna be darker and it'll slowly fade out and to the lighter values down here at the bottom I mean kind
76
00:04:54,790 --> 00:05:03,150
of fade this edge in as well that could add a little bit of shadow right there as well all right.
77
00:05:03,150 --> 00:05:06,210
And then we can go ahead and darken in the upper eyelid for the eyelashes
78
00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:20,070
through winter we've kind of sketched the individual hairs out a little bit more on this eyebrow.
79
00:05:23,870 --> 00:05:25,830
And then the eyelashes just really quick.
80
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:29,770
I'm not gonna get super detailed with the eyelashes either but the eyelashes are basically they're gonna
81
00:05:29,770 --> 00:05:35,370
come down and then back up and in the middle they'll be kind of straight up and down.
82
00:05:35,380 --> 00:05:39,190
But as I get to the side they'll kind of start to curve out a little bit more so you'll actually get
83
00:05:39,190 --> 00:05:44,700
to see a little bit more of their profile and looks kind of like that they're also gonna kind of criss
84
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:46,170
cross each other as well
85
00:05:58,050 --> 00:06:02,440
something like that and then on the bottom eyelashes we're just kind of fanning out like this.
86
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,180
And they're a little bit shorter a little bit thinner.
87
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,020
Right.
88
00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:08,320
Great.
89
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,300
So there you go.
90
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,920
They're just kind of a quick rundown of drawing the eye now.
91
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:16,330
What about if we want to draw the eye from the side view because that's gonna be a kind of a completely
92
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:17,440
different story.
93
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,390
Well let's go and try it.
94
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:23,230
So like I said the eye is an actual eyeball so we can start by actually drawing a circle to kind of
95
00:06:23,230 --> 00:06:25,950
represent the eyeball and build everything off of that.
96
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:31,700
So right about in the middle right there we're gonna go ahead and draw a line like this.
97
00:06:31,730 --> 00:06:34,460
What this is is this is representing the top eyelid.
98
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,060
I'll do a little curved right up there at the top to represent the eyelid and then we'll do the bottom
99
00:06:39,940 --> 00:06:41,420
so the bottom will kind of come down like this.
100
00:06:41,420 --> 00:06:46,230
It'll have a slight curve to it and then a little curve down there at the bottom like that.
101
00:06:46,410 --> 00:06:49,630
Now we can go ahead and just kind of draw in the actual eyeball or at their
102
00:06:52,570 --> 00:06:54,750
and then the eye lid has some thickness to it.
103
00:06:54,780 --> 00:07:00,090
So it's gonna come out pretty far off the eyeball so there's the top eyelid and here's the bottom eyelid.
104
00:07:00,090 --> 00:07:00,480
All right.
105
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,600
And the nose would be somewhere out here.
106
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,240
The bridge of the nose so we can kind of draw that and just so we have a little bit understanding about
107
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:15,800
what's going on there and then we have the eyebrow
108
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,540
curves around like that
109
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:32,310
and then we can go ahead and draw the IRS so the IRS is gonna come down like this.
110
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,950
Just touch the bottom of the bottom eyelid the top needs to be covered and then we'll go ahead and draw
111
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:37,610
the pupil in.
112
00:07:37,610 --> 00:07:42,590
Now at this angle it's gonna be almost like a black slit and it's gonna be inwards a little bit because
113
00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:46,640
the like I said the actual colored part of the IRS is kind of shaped like a bowl.
114
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:52,400
So all that area right there is basically clear that we can go ahead and shoot in this area right here
115
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:57,900
because that's the actual colored part and I made this clear area out here on the I.
116
00:07:58,430 --> 00:08:02,490
And then for the eyelashes from the side view they're just gonna basically come off like this you're
117
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,490
going to really get that profile view of the eyelashes.
118
00:08:06,990 --> 00:08:21,000
Same with on the bottom.
119
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,170
Just like like that.
120
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960
And again it's really good to look at reference.
121
00:08:27,050 --> 00:08:31,130
You don't just want to base everything off this I'm just kind of giving you an understanding of how
122
00:08:31,130 --> 00:08:34,910
the eye is drawn but always look at a little bit of reference.
123
00:08:34,910 --> 00:08:38,500
All right then lastly let's talk about how do you draw from three quarters or so.
124
00:08:38,660 --> 00:08:41,020
An eye is a sphere like we really talked about.
125
00:08:41,030 --> 00:08:45,410
And so if we draw a sphere like this we can imagine that the eye needs to kind of wrap around this.
126
00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:52,520
So it needs to kind of if we were to draw our IRS right here on the front of it it's kind of like an
127
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,170
oval because of the perspective we're looking at.
128
00:08:54,200 --> 00:09:00,830
And then we would basically kind of get the top eyelid wrapping around like this and then it come down
129
00:09:00,830 --> 00:09:05,090
like that and we want to get this bottom eyelid kind of angled downwards
130
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,460
and then we get our Tier dog like that
131
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,710
and this iris might be a little bit too big so I'll just kind of redraw shrink down a little bit
132
00:09:30,330 --> 00:09:31,010
get our island
133
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,470
and we can go ahead and sketch in our pupil.
134
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:51,410
We'll get a reflection in there as well but the reflection right about their shade all listen will darken
135
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,230
in that pupil
136
00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:02,110
and we'll also get our eyelashes in their lips.
137
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,060
That was really long eyelashes right there shouldn't be that long.
138
00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:26,100
Now we could even go ahead and kind of sketch in where the eyebrows would go something like that
139
00:10:37,380 --> 00:10:38,240
but very roughly.
140
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,500
That's just how you draw the front view the side view and the three quarters view.
141
00:10:44,930 --> 00:10:49,430
Just really quick I just want to talk about how this really plays into character design because a lot
142
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:55,370
of the times your characters aren't gonna necessarily look super accurate to what the actual human form
143
00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:58,280
and face looks like but everything is based off of it.
144
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,470
So for example if we were to draw kind of a more Disney styled eye you can see that we can kind of start
145
00:11:03,470 --> 00:11:12,010
off by sketching out a circle like this and we kind of sketch out that top eyelid that and we can go
146
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:17,800
ahead and kind of angle this downwards into the tier duct and then we can go ahead and draw in the bottom
147
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,730
eyelid like that
148
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:28,210
and maybe I'll angle this down a little bit more over here back and we can go head draw the iris and
149
00:11:28,210 --> 00:11:31,210
so we're gonna get this eye nice big giant Iris
150
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:55,970
darken in the top eyelash just do a dark line down here just to simplify it for the bottom eyelashes
151
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,740
we can go ahead and sketch out kind of a reflection there and Iris
152
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,610
can darken all the Iverson
153
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,400
you can kind of see that we took the idea of this eye and we just simplified it and exaggerated things
154
00:12:32,410 --> 00:12:37,590
so for example this bottom curve right here is pretty close to what the actual curve of a real eye would
155
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:42,580
be but up here we just really exaggerated how tall and how arched and how big that eye is.
156
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,680
We also made the IRS huge and we still got our islet in there.
157
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,840
We simplified the eyelashes just by doing simple dark lines like that we can see how we took it from
158
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,290
that to this.
159
00:12:55,310 --> 00:13:00,140
So that's really what character design is all about is taking what you know about the real human form
160
00:13:00,410 --> 00:13:05,510
and simplifying it exaggerating it and turning it into something that looks a little bit more appealing
161
00:13:05,510 --> 00:13:07,310
and what you want it to look like.
162
00:13:07,310 --> 00:13:08,740
That brings us to the end of this lecture.
163
00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:12,800
If you have any questions make sure you post them to the Q and A session of the course and I'll see
164
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,330
you guys in the next lecture.
