How to Draw a Human Eye on 5 steps

Edited by Maxwell K, Maluniu, ElizabethD, BR and 7 others



Draw a Human Eye
This will teach you how to draw realistic human eyes.

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Draw one big circular ball to make out the eye. This will form the eye socket. The top of this circle is where the eyebrow is and at the bottom is where the cheek bone sits. Add the lines.
  2. 2
    Draw the eyeball floating in the centre of the socket.
  3. 3
    You then need to work on the shape of the eye. Eyes are almond shaped, so bear this in mind as you sketch them. As a rule of thumb, the distance between the two eyes is the width of another eye.
  4. 4
    Inside the iris, the color inside the center of the eye, draw the pupil which is the darkest bit of the eye. Fill most of it in black and leave a little white. With your pencil flat, use a bit of shading for the base.
  5. 5
    Next, draw the top of the eyelid over the top of the almond. Add any detail you like, like eyelashes, etc.,

History of Drawing: the textbook

History of Drawing is a textbook and reference book available free to anyone who loves drawings.


Use the navigator at the top of the page to jump between chapters.



Thomas Buser earned his doctorate in Art History from NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts in 1974. He taught courses in Baroque Art and the course History of Prints and Drawings at the University of Louisville until his retirement in 2005. He has published Religious Art in the Nineteenth Century in Europe and America (two volumes, 2002) and the textbook Experiencing Art Around Us (second edition, 2006).



As far as possible, the drawings have been reproduced throughout the book in the same scale: halfway across the page equals 20 centimeters (about eight inches), all the way across the page equals 40 centimeters (a little less than sixteen inches). Needless to say, drawings that are wider than 40 centimeters are out of scale.
