Being able to draw realistic human eyes looks like it would be near impossible to attain. Well, you would be wrong if you think this. I know that you could draw great, realistic eyes. The following drawing lesson will guide you through drawing realistic eyes in simple to follow steps. Find this guide below.
How to Draw Realistic Eyes with Easy Step by Step Drawing Tutorials
Step 1
Draw 3 circles.
Step 2
Lightly sketch the top lid.
Step 3
Now draw the lower lid.
Step 4
Now draw a curved line above the top lid.
Step 5
Now fix things up a bit and add the tear duct on the left side of the eye.
Step 6
Put some shadow into the tear duct by hatching a few lines. Darken in the pupil (the inner circle) and darken the outline of the circle that surrounds it.
Step 7
Now draw lines in the iris (the area around the dark circle (pupil). They are sort of like spirograph lines … like just making twisty lines. Hatch some lines for shadows under the top lid.
Step 8
Now draw the lashes as I did above.
Step 9
Now use a really good eraser to erase 2 highlights in the pupil / iris. If you did this with marker or pen or paint, then get some white paint and paint in the highlight.
Step 10
Above is the finished realistic eye drawing. I hope that yours turned out great and that you had a LOT of fun. Thanks for coming here for this tutorial.

Hi! I’ve been working on changing my style lately, I’m super frustrated, and this has made a HUGE difference. This tutorial is greatness. Once I figure out noses, lips, and hair, I’ll be good. Good job, creator person!

I loved this tutorial I tried a different one and it turned out horrible but when I tried yours I got this amazing real looking eye. Any chance you have one on faces.
admin
I’m glad it helped you. I don’t any specific eye tutorials that are on the face – but you can find some face drawing tutorials here – some that have some vivid eyes within them https://www.drawinghowtodraw.com/stepbystepdrawinglessons/category/illustration-realistic-style/drawing-peoples-faces/

You are a rude and arrogant child that should not be allowed to socialize unless accompanied with a responsible adult!

I did my own some steps my way too… I feel like the tear duct was a tad bit down too far… So I made it a bit higher up. This taught me how to make SUCH A GOOD EYE!!! Easy to remember too. My old eyes were sooo ugly ??????
:)
Thank you so much, my mom was an amazing artist and i was really sad cause i lacked n that talent from my parents, and i could never draw the eyes so i just stopped drawing. Now that i saw those and learned how to do them, my drawing are looking amazing and im actually getting really good feedback on them!!!
