Man this is some high level teaching. I feel blessed
These are probably good tips but it’s very sad to hear people explain such obvious things
@@dianap1893 well, it's not always obvious.
I can draw hands really well, and it seems obvious to me how it's done, but... Is it? The sheer number of people who struggle with drawing hands, including my younger self, easily prove otherwise. It's only obvious once you've learned it, whether you taught yourself, or someone else did.
Not necessarily. It's just converting your basic knowledge into drawing. We should all know how shadows work and everyone knows that the eyeball is round and etc. You could've figured this all out by just thinking logically. But yeah, the video is probably still helpful for a lot of people
@@rumtreiberin3050 well, you could say the same for hands. They're a little bit more complicated, but can still be broken down anatomically. It's just a matter of getting them to look good when you draw them.
I get what you're saying, but I would still argue it's not quite obvious, at least not to everyone. Young kids start out just drawing what they see, they don't really think about it all that much. A lot of beginner artists have the same problem. This video helps them to think about it a bit more, and gives them a demonstration. :]
@@NighttimeDaydreams I didn't say it wasn't helpful. All I was saying was, that it isn't some high technique level knowledge. It's easily obtainable knowledge just by thinking and putting together things you already know, that's all I'm saying
Nah, Im sticking with my drawings having soulless dots-for-eyes 💀
Edit: Pfp updated, Duality.
My pfp is a prime example lmao
@@JD.ThatGuy would be funny if they just had ultra realistic eyes
@@isntduality Oh no the crack eye meme
@@philhnn621 the what
I have characters that are literally just (cartoony) eyes for heads lol
If you don't want to draw realistic that's fine, but remember to familiarize yourself with "the rules" so you can break them intentionally and intelligently.
This is the way
True
Meh not really. I don’t see why people say this stupid nonsense lol. I doubt people who make anime or some shit study anatomy for 20 years
@@vismattress5760 they didnt learned anatomy by itself they learn by observing and adding it into their arts they make for fun. Slowly their muscles will memorize it.
@@vismattress5760the amount of anatomy you need to understand for animation is a hefty amount, stylized or not, dont proclaim stuff u dont have any understanding of...
I can't draw but after watching this, I suddenly feel like I have the ability to draw a really good-looking eye
wish it was this easy lmao
Same and l draw in anime like style lol
Anime artists: 👁️👁️...
*a line for the eyeball shading*
Airbrush is shaking from your abandonment
Literally me right now, I keep getting tips for realistic art lmao
@@sirthisisawendys811 lol me too
My art style is like a mix of cartoons and animal crossing 💀

“The spherical forms underneath”
The shapes: 🗿
i immediately thought Sqidward's house
Was about to comment this

@@anonymouspigeon1 sammeee I was going to comment that 😂 like "bro just drew Squidward's house"

References help tremendously with varying eye shapes, particularly for different ethnicities! It's ok to trace a couple references to get the basic shapes/line down
Why would you want to draw something bad when you can draw something heavenly
That was such a good explanation that I started to tear up.
😭
finally a simple instruction that really helps you

Yes i feel so many tutorials are either way too specific to the point they overwhelm and confuse me or way too vague and i learn nothing. Love this channel it is a perfect in between. Tells you what you need to know and how to accomplish it but in a simple way.
Are you an artist
You didn’t know eyes are round?
@@AZURNERUB Did i say that? i don't remember, well i learned how to draw eyes before this video even existed
what i mean by this comment is that the reason i love shorter videos is that it is ''short'' all the gathered information are summarized and it is easier for beginners to digest
Me who doesn't draw: "Ah yes, of course."
Same 💀
Same💀
Shame ☠️
Shameful 💀

When you study physics amd become a artist be like:
I think it's biology and geometry 🤡
Okay, for anyone out there being like "well I draw anime so this isn't helpful", you should still listen to these tips. If you actually take screenshots from anime shows for example and look at their eyes, they all follow these same basic rules. Anime artists still follow the same basic rules of art that apply everywhere else in life.
Being an uneducated artist who only draws completely flat looking cartoons is not an "art style". Y'all need to learn this stuff just like the rest of us artists.
You lost as soon as you wrote "anime" like that
@@Nordisk11 I wasn't spelling it like that thinking it's how it's spelled.. If you look later in the comment, you can see I spell it normally. But if it really offends you that much I'll change it 🤷♀️
I mean, I kinda half agree. Cartoony IS a style. Everything’s a style even mop painting (😭), even if you don’t like it it is. But if you’re trying to succeed in art I grew you need to study art, you can’t just draw a stick figure and make millions.
The vast majority of talented Japanese mangaka that these kids idolize studied realism and form extensively.
I hate to break it to you, but cartoon with little to no detail is still an art style.
I got one thing from this short:
Fish shaped eye- bad
Turtle shaped eye- good
Dolphin shaped eye - best
no eyes- ultra pro max best
@@Jessica45230 is that a hollow knight reference?
@@hi99e63 nah
@@hi99e63 no, but my pfp is
The thing is that these are the rules of real life. It's important to know them, so you can break them. Most artstyles break a few or a lot of rules
Rules are broken, however, the rules of light and shadow aren't. The art just looks weird or not right, even the most Picasso of art has shadow and light shapes correctly rendered however in a different style.
@@DigitalViscosity yes light mostly works the same way but it can still be styleist. And sometimes the rules can even be broken, tho it's very hard to not make that look wrong. But it can still happen.
You need to learn the rules to break them
I needed this. Thank you
This is the most attractive explanation of how to truly capture the emotion of an eye, and how shade and shape MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Remember: this is for drawing realism but realism does not equal better, draw however you want in whatever style your want :)
Realism is the basis of stylization. Knowing the one leads to way better results at the later
There is no stylization without technique. You should have some themes of realism for a half-decent style.
@@dianthuslykaios1434 art is art and if youre drawing just for fun then you should draw however you want
@@waheey If you're going to draw as a casual hobby, then my comment does not apply. If you're an artist looking to seriously improve your skills or develop a style, you _need_ to understand the anatomy and/or physics behind what you're drawing, no two ways about it.
@@waheey Yes, but understanding how an eye is structured and incorporating that knowledge into the approach to your style can be the difference between your art looking like a child drew it and looking like a professional drew it. Literally anyone can "draw an eye however they want". But there's always going to be something separating the amateurs from the greats, and this is one of those things that can.
Mentalities like what you expressed, that people don't need to consider any outside advice and should just "do whatever they want", is exactly what can hold someone back and keep them in an amateur hole far longer than necessary.
I love how comprehensive this lesson is! It gives an in depth explanation to everything people trying to learn how to draw eyes might want to know without being convoluted Or assuming they have an inherent knowledge of certain things they might not :) 10/10 teaching
This is legit eye lessons on a RUclips short …. Love it
For me it's Sims 3 sliders that taught me how to get different eyeshapes with similar methods 💀
Another thing to remember is that it’s okay if the eyes aren’t symmetrical because that’s realistic. Also, not everyone has two straight-looking eyes. I have Strabismus which causes one of my eyes to look inward.
I never knew there's a word for that - neat! (Also not neat that you have it haha)
Damn ur profile Pic fits u that's crazy tho. Good for u ig😂👍🌝
He's making a GENERALIZATION.. Thts wat ALL Art Teachers DO... In GENERAL when Ur drawing from Ur Imagination for Realism Purposes.. U want Symmetry... But..if Ur drawing Portraits from Subjects.. Of course.. U will draw whatever is in front of U.... Hope this helps... ✌️❤️😎🖊💯👍👍
this channel is literaly saving my life at this point
That one art kid in class when you ask them if your drawing of a eye looks good: this video
thanks for this video! i’m really into drawing eyes and these are great tips!
I always had a problem with drawing eyes, so I think this will help a lot. Thank you!
I mostly do cartoon illustrations, but this still helped! I never really payed attention to the lighting and shade on the eyeball but with this information in my hands, I can make my illustrations more appealing! Ty!!!
Instructions unclear: I’ve accidentally drawn the blueprints for a nuclear weapon
I like the way the lid shadow was described that was very helpful. Sometimes thickness is forgotten.
Been drawing since I can remember, and this stuff still helps me. Thanks, man.
Drew a couple things immediately with these tips, and holy shit, did it help.
I got a book by George B Bridgeman on drawing anatomy and this is exactly how I learned to draw eyes. Unfortunately the book is incredibly technical and uses terms as if I would know what they are without any explanation. E.g it has muscle names, tendon names and writes about how these effect one another followed by two or four pages of sketches of the object. The sketches have 0 lines showing what is what except for a couple that shows the muscles in the arms/hands in particular.
Either way it was tremendously helpful for me as an artist to be able to open a book and stare at the picture for as long as I needed before starting. No rewinding, or waiting for it to loop again. No fighting with my screen to make sure my laptop or phone doesn’t go to sleep in the middle of me drawing etc. I highly recommend
Matter-of-fact manner, straight to the point, accurate and simple instructions, no extra bullshit. Splendid.
Proko's been getting my anatomy game together for a while now. You share so much knowledge that I know I would have struggled to find alone. You're a real gem!!!
I'm glad it helps!
Just curious, do you watch out videos more as longform videos or Shorts?
@@ProkoTV I watched more of the long videos maybe over a year ago now. (Whistling the theme song) Honestly this short is the first I've seen on my feed from you, but it was a good refresher. No doubt that I'll be watching more of these shorts. Thanks again!!
Squidwards house made a cameo lmao 🗿
Da Vinci actually used a similar technique to draw people. He first drew the bones, then Muscles and then the skin. That's why his paintings look so real.
Musta been a real pain drawing three models for one model.
Wow, some actually helpful tips. Usually these videos are just "draw these 5 simple shapes" videos but this is actually helpful info. Nice!
If anyone here can draw portraits and faces and shading them in…you are amazing, I absolutely love looking at peoples art I’ve always wanted to be good at it but never had the know how
My high school art teacher actually taught me this and I'm so grateful for it
Lucky. Mine would say you're drawing this today and walk out the room.
As someone who doesn't even draw realism your just making it harder
I feel you, man.
bro gave a full ted talk when it's easy as saying "hey remember to put shadows in your eyes like this"
I'm pretty sure that anyone who has an understanding of realist drawing will already know everything said here and more amateur people will not understand shit! this is too complicated for a newbie! 💀
@Marine_Blue The only reason an amateur wouldn't understand is if they deliberately didn't listen or don't understand English. "Just shade it like this" is as helpful as a coloring book for newbies, tracing only gets you so far. You need to understand the anatomy in order to draw it well
I really needed this! The part about constructing the planes of the eye especially helped me! It completely changed how I draw eyes. Thank you!
My art teacher first showed me your videos when I said I’d miss her teaching and honestly it’s one of the best things she did
I'm so grateful for this. It can be difficult to watch the main video again and again.
Another eye tip:
Think of the iris as an inverted cone, The part facing away from the light should be lit and the part closer to the light should be dimly lit. Remember there is a clear layer over this area so eye highlights do not apply to the cone if that makes sense
I’ve heard so many people say art isn’t science or have anything to do with it or maths but science and maths make up a lot of things . And art is yes one of them..
Also, if you're coloring your art, remember that the sclera doesn't look completely white. It should be some shade of grey for a more realistic look.
This is something I learned earlier on drawing animals cats have that more prominent sphere that pulges out a bit more. I have also done dissection of actual eyes (the tampetum lucidum is actually really amazing with out it looks its shiny and kind of reminds me of the inside of a shell. Seeing it you really understand why certain animals eyes Glas as light reflects off their eyes). This is a great breakdown for those who haven't taken anatomy but want to learn the basics ^^
These are great advices for artists who practices hyper realism/realism :D
im surprised about how much information I've retained from these little tutorials
Glad they help!
me who doesn't draw eyes realistically "ah yes, very useful, yep."
When you combine anatomy and arts
Finally, I have autonomy because I can draw an eye. I can finally leave my cage
Autonomy? Or did you mean anatomy?
@@tihana13My bad
Just remember to observe. Some of these tips apply to a certain type of eye moreso than other types, so when you're drawing from reference, make mental notes about what you're seeing
my eyes change style completely every time i draw them but the quality always improves
pure white is ok for cartoon eyes, or a simplistic style. but even then a very slight off white is better
Me who uses white cause i like how it looks better with my style: 👀
Remember there’s no right or wrong to art, you can take these tips but do what you like first and foremost!!
obviously doesnt apply to you then. these anatomy tips are useful to everyone and trickle down into every style.
It’s just anatomically correct and if it doesn’t apply to your style that’s fine, however some people actually want to learn how to draw the eye anatomically correct.
Actually, regardless of your style it can still be applied.
@@madeleinelazenkas5071every? Wrong. Cartoons usually use ovals that are flat dur to them being more stylized like their art style
One of my favorite ways of giving a little "omph" to the sclera is to make it an off-white color, usually a pale, lighter version of the subject's eye color (my style is a bit more stylized, so this wouldn't be a great tip for realism. For realism, I go with a "darker white" type of grey or a VERY pale yellow color).
One of the best tips I've seen
Thank you my guy. This gives me a lot more care whenever I add color to sketches give to me for free my guy. This should help me be better.
**Cries in simple art style, anime like artstyle and really simple art style**
Every artist should know the basics. Anime is actually such a complex style of art and its really hard for beginners to do well, especially when they don't know the basics. If you pay really close attention to Manga or anime shows, the eyes all follow this basic structure. Ignoring the basics can really make your art suffer.
this actually applies to anime a lot more than others
If you don't know how to draw the actual thing you won't be able to effectively distort it to cartoon. Learn the basics.
This is so helpful! Why have NONE of my professors taught me this - it literally only took you 30 seconds out of my three years 😂
I’ve never been great at drawing. This video gives me even more respect for those that are
I love that you actually teach properly with full explanations. A lot of youtube art tips are just shortcuts like “oh draw an oval and split it up like this and the pupil goes here BAM its an eye” but the tip only works for a single viewpoint with a single eye shape and particular art style. Your advice on the other hand will help artists draw from different angles, lighting, etc. its all about forms :)
To such Proko, we are just Noobkos.👏😁🎉👍
I'm a complete novice, and I noticed you hold your pencil very differently from me? Is there a specific way to hold the pencil that is best for drawing a sketching. I'm currently struggling with circles, line work, and proportions and I feel like a bug part of that is because I don't get the control I need the way I hold the pencil. I hold it the same way I learned to hold a pencil in grade school to write letters and I'm sure that isn't right.
He adresses that a lot in his longer videos. Drawing the way he does it allows you to draw with your shoulder instead of wrist. Simplified, it gives you more freedom of movement and amplitude. But it's harder to do at first because you never trained to do it. From what I get/read, you don't need to learn that to be good, but if you learn that technique you might get better/further.
Hey, there! Like Ari mentioned, I have a video on this. There's a different grip for every job.
I hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/pMC0Cx3Uk84/видео.html
No. A lot of people try and say that you “should” hold it a certain way but that makes no sense. A lot of artists hold their pencils in ridiculous ways and are still considered some of the best artists out there. Just hold it how you hold it, it really doesn’t make a difference. It’s like how people say the colour of pan you use to bake makes a significant difference, it really doesn’t. The recipe does.
@@krustygureum I actually have been having issues getting the control that I need with my strokes. The video that he linked above is actually really helpful. I agree that there is no correct way to do things in art, but I'm always open to advice from people that are more experienced than I am.
I'm an artist and I didn't even know this ...spot on 👍 👌
When drawing a realistic, I my art teacher said “Always remember the white of the eye is not perfectly white”
Man I shade my eyes but it comes out looking like one of those art papers kindergarteners draw- 💀
Wroko
This was SOOOO helpful!!! Thank you!!
This is pretty good for people who want to draw more realistic.
This channel is a blessing for artists!
This is actually helpful
As someone VERY new to drawing this helped so much give my poor quality drawings a bit of life and perspective. ❤
I have a cartoonish artstyle but i think this is really helpful! Lol😭
There is truly such a science to art that many people do not know let alone appreciate
Wait the way you drew that eye, I could probably also use that as help to form lips around something (like an eyeball). You gave me inspiration!
THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL😊
I think this is the coolest art channel there is. I learn so much from it!
As a learning artist, this is going to help me a lot to improve my drawings in an incredible way!
This is the first art tutorial I feel like genuinely taught something valuable
This was fabulous..
At age 40 I am still barely learning to draw a straightine with a ruler.
And the brilliance of this video was soothing..
Man. this feels super technical with planes and asymmetrys and form
This is extremely helpful as a realistic traditional artist 👍
Good advices, comes handy for 3d too
This tip is gonna help me make more realistic eyes while the rest is gonna look cartoony
as an artist who use dots for eyes this was very helpful for me
Thank you so much! I have now improved on drawing realistic eyes
I learned more from this short than I did in my 2 years of artschool 💀
Is impressive how artists can make me see something in 3D even if is just a paper.
I know is shadows and bla bla but stills like magic for me.
Wow that actually a lot of useful and direct information for such a short video, one of the best tutorial/tips video I've watch.
You forgot to mention the pupil, the pupil is not flush with the eye, but it sticks out and as such should be drawn 3 dimensionally
Very simple. Thanks for getting it out there
the way the iris is curved in the eye can also be an alternative to create depth rather than shading
I feel like this taught me more than the entire book I bought about drawing faces
Me, being an anime-centric inspired artist 🙃 but I take SO much from realism! It’s crazy how helpful realism is when drawing cartoons/anime
Me realizing how well knowing about the human anatomy goes with perfecting your drawing skills
This is very helpful, thanks for sharing your wisdom
Yes. I love logical, concisely presented information. Good on ya m8!
I never really thought about how it’d be lighter underneath. Thanks for the advice ^ - ^
I seen the "3 planes on top, 2 planes on bottom" tip from another professional artist! This video is literally a summary of a 30m-1hr video damn. Absolutely phenomenal.
Thanks! We try our best!
