How to draw anime eyes

Learn how to make your own anime style eyes from scratch.

First up, load up the JustSketchMe app and select one of the anime models to use as your jumping-off point.

Step 1:

Define the shape of the anime eye’s outline.

Make it nice and angular and include the shape of the eyelashes here.

Step 2:

Draw the shape of the Iris.

You can use an oval shape or a more triangular shape.

Step 3:

Draw the pupil, it doesn’t have to follow the shape of the iris exactly.

Step 4:

Draw the darker, shadow part that will be at the top of the iris.

Don’t worry about shading it yet! You can also add a second one if you like.

Step 5:

Create a little reflection dot.

It should be small and pure white.

Step 6:

Shade your eye!

Step 7:

Add some additional details to your anime eye.
