How to Draw Baby Eyes – Easy Step by Step Drawing Tutorial

Hopefully, by seeing how I drew it, you will be able to do so as well. Follow along with the tutorial below.

Drawing Materials

(1) Graphite pencils are optional but preferred. I got this cheaper set of graphite pencils and I actually like them a lot.

(2) Gray paper is optional. It is much easier to draw a tinted paper when it comes to facial features. Here is a good gray-toned drawing pad.

(3) Eraser. I usually use types of erasers. I use (a) A white drawing eraser and (2) Kneaded eraser
