this episode is Part of the Drawing Together live video series – learn more here
How to draw an eye? It’s a subject we all tend to be entranced by and is often challenging to get “right”. In today’s session, I tackle this classic subject. Set up a mirror or take a photo and draw your own eye, or follow along using this reference image: https://bit.ly/2Vi5WXT
Today, I’m working with:
- White Sketch Paper (Hahnemuhle “Skizze 190”)
- Vine Charcoal
- Charcoal Pencil
- Kneaded and Rubber Erasers
In this session, we’ll cover:
- How to draw an eye
- The structure of the eye
- Eyebrow, eyelashes
- Shading techniques
- Creating texture
- So much more!

Loved doing the eye! I’m a pastel landscape painter, but have really enjoyed doing these drawings as a counterpoint to my practice. Thank you so much, Scott.
