    I have been working on painting a realistic eye for a week. This is my third attempt I will keep practising to make it more realistic.
    One of the most important things is to keep your surrounding colours dark, including the white of the eye. This should not be white, but a grey with blues or even reds added. This allows you to create greater depth with the reflected light which may be pure white or any other colour.

      Thanks for the positive comment! I don't mind the dislikes but I would like it if those who dislike it would give me a comment and let me know why. I am always trying to improve my work and appreciate criticism just as much as praise. Have a great day.

    No, it isn't very realistic, but it definitely shows basic tips on how to start off and definitely build from this. The main mistake I spotted was drawing the lower lashes right from the edge of the eye, completely disregarding a waterline.
    But yeah good blending etc.

    Thank you for the lesson Ryan. I only ask that it be slowed down. I'm trying to learn what brushes are best for each area and you are moving so very fast that I cannot even see the brush. At times it looks as though you are using a pencil. I haven't used a pencil for acrylics. Is this a special pencil. The finished product is astonishing and very lifelike. I really made a mess of the eyelashes on my first try. Could you put this same video at a slower speed for those who need more help?

    • @ShaunRyan
      @ShaunRyan  10 лет назад

      Sorry, I no longer have the original of this video so can't upload a more detailed version. I use a synthetic flat brush for fine lines. Any brush is fine for blocking in and whatever suits you for blending colours and shading. I used a normal pencil to sketch the basic shape of the eye. Acrylic over pencil is fine, just use it lightly if you are concerned about the pencil coming through or effecting the colour of the paint. I'm happy to answer any other questions. Thanks, Shaun.

    Tina Le, why is it people are critical of spelling,especially in an art channel? Most normal people shorten their words anyway but the fact is the word " colour" is not spelt wrong because the letter "u" is dropped. This is correct spelling for many places especially America,as they spell color like that.... Now Shaun your work is great,and you have got a lot of the values right in the eye,you said you'd like advice so,remember the eye as a sphere shape,don't flatten it to eyelids and to create this shade the corners dark,especially the outer and the water line is double here.you only need one line at the eyeball as where you have the lashes it acts as the second line.dont put lower lashes right into the year duct,they just go over half way and are slightly more sparse,spread thinner,slightly longer and looks great if you actually cross a few over in an X shape to make a more irregular look.byou should be proud of this,ignore negative comments!bkeep up the good work!

    • @ShaunRyan
      @ShaunRyan  10 лет назад +1

      Thanks Karen. I have been practising and improving my techniques. All of the points you made are great. The eye is a complex piece of anatomy and requires a lot of thought to get each detail right.

      Lexus Anthony I used a very small round synthetic brush and a flat synthetic brush to paint the straight lines of the iris.

    its very nice shaun!
    i like to make the colour under the pupil slightly lighter to show the light from above as it shines through the clear jelly bit of the eye. (is that the iris)? i dunno mate, but you get what i mean ay. it seems to add another dimension to it :-)

    @chrismeeks9353 10 лет назад

    It looks like you used a pen to make the blue lines in the iris. what exactly did you use? also what type of brush was used for the eyelashes? the other question i have is what color are you using for the skin?

    • @ShaunRyan
      @ShaunRyan  10 лет назад

      Hi I used a very small round brush for those lines. You could also use a rigger, which is similar with longer bristles. I used a small taklon flat brush for the eye lashes. Flat or angle brushes work well for painting this kind of gently curving line. For the skin I used a medium grey with a mix of raw umber and raw sienna.

    What color was used for the skin surrounding the eye? +Shaun Ryan

    • @ShaunRyan
      @ShaunRyan  8 лет назад +1

      +Corinne Beagle I can't tell you the exact mix but start with a mid grey that looks like the right tone and add small amounts of raw sienna and burnt sienna until you get the right colour. You can adjust it further with red and yellow if you find that the result is too dull, or add it later as a glaze.
