    When the "don't" drawing looks better than anything you could ever do...

    It's funny how she is deliberately trying to make a bad example and it still looks good.

    That awkward moment when the “bad” eye looks like something I would draw in 4 hours, and be proud of it

    The reason I prefer your do’s and don’t’s series over every other artist’s do’s and don’t’s is because your don’t’s are actually realistic to how a beginner would go about drawing it, therefore bringing out what the real mistakes are. Other ones have an exaggerated 4 year old art piece and don’t offer any specific explanation as to why it isn’t the “do” side. ❤️❤️

    Hey everyone! Today I am talking about the Do's & Don'ts when drawing eyes. If your drawing does look like the Don't version then don't feel discouraged. I am simply giving my advice on how you can make your drawings even more realistic! If you enjoyed this video remember to like and share it with all your artsy friends 😊💕ALL MATERIALS USED ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION :D

      @jpettymd 7 лет назад

      How do you get the texture of the skin and the sclera itself to look so realistic? Are you using the tac to create this texture or the tissue is some kind of way?

Shes doing alot here, by sharing this, just follow it, youll see its really not as hard as you would think. I usually go by these tutorials for practice, i would never completely copy an artists work and share it as my own.

    These 'do's' and 'don't' videos are fantastic - I seem to learn so much more from common errors, than watching a great 'do' video/tutorial .... it really helps to know specifics about what I may be doing wrong and also gives me more confidence in the learning process. You are a fantastic artist, teacher and personality/youtuber! Thanks so much

      "Who the hell draws an eye like that?"

    Bravo Kirsty.. Not just for your great skills of drawing, but your ability to explain, in detail, what is going on during the tutorial. Wheather someone can achieve the do or even the dont portion, we are all still motivated to draw, and that's what is important. Thank you!

    I mostly don’t comment because I’m learning a lot and writing something down in the comment section prevents that knowledge to ‘settle’ in my brain (yes, I’m weird but this is one of the more normal things lol) but I just wanted to let you know that you’ve taught me A LOT, even though I’m not quite there that I’m sketching and stuff, I’m growing towards it. For now I only put the things in use colouring-wise (colouring books), you have improved my technique with that as well. So THANK YOU. I’m currently learning and searching so I can buy the right sketching tools for my beginner needs. Although you’ve made it clear that normal pencils and copying paper is fine for now I just want to know more before I start. Not that just watching this will give me talent but still, I might prevent some of the ‘don’t’ parts

    I've watched this a couple times--love it. Great tips and ideas as always. What I'd like to see is how you would draw an older face--maybe you've done this?--with wrinkles and that saggy eyelid thing. Also, white or light hairs in the eyebrow, and maybe facial hair too. As you can see from my photo, I'm referencing myself, but interested for other people as well.

    You were talking about avoiding a dark circle around the iris, but my eye has a dark circle around it. I use my own eye as a reference photo (pictures are made by a professional camera so its a good reference pic) and whenever people see my drawing they're like "o yes i love it but the circle around your iris is pretty dark and bold, maybe fade it out a bit more?" can someone give me some tips? I have bright light blue eyes and a darkblue / black ring around my iris. Its a bold ring

      @strangerdanger772 6 лет назад +1

      h y u c k c y o n
      since i can't tell what your eye or drawing looks like, i'll try to fill in the blanks but i'm an amateur at drawing at best so. i don't think a dark iris is a problem. the only problem that i can tell would arise is uneven blending. if you make sure the shading/colour (depending on if you use colour or a pencil) blends out nicely and evenly, then there shouldnt be a problem with a dark iris.
      also make sure that the iris isnt just one solid dark line, which makes the picture look quite awkward. it's all about blending.
