The look on the eye - drawing an eye
Some remarks on the looks of eyes:
1. The upper lid covers the iris of the eye a bit, unless oneopens the eyes very wide.
2. The iris is a circle with the pupil in the middle. The distance between the rim of the iris and the pupil is about as wide as the distance to the outline of the eye ball which is not visible for the most part.
3. Typically one can see the upside of the lower lid as a thin light plane
4. a drawing of the eyes looks often more interesting when the reflections of light are depicted too.
5. there is a little corner, the tear duct,where the tears come out,and it connects with the eye ball.
I am not an expert on eye drawing, so here are my humble exercises for your amusement and observations. Mainly I tried to get the opening of the eye correctly. It is much smaller than one would think. Also the position where the upper and lower lid meet on the outside of the eye is a bit higher than the corner where the tears come out (sorry do not know the right expression).
