A step-by-step drawing of an eye:

1. Let's start by marking the contour of the eye. Draw two even arcs on top of each other and connect them so that the corners are formed.

2. Draw a vertical fold of the mucous membrane at the inner corner of the eye, called the third eyelid. Then draw the contour of the iris in the form of a hemisphere, boldly outlining the lower part as in the figure. Draw the pupil and the glare.

3. Next, draw the edges of the upper and lower eyelids and eyelashes. The eyelashes should be natural and voluminous, so do not draw each individual eyelash, but combine some of them in order to further paint. Then draw the iris with uneven, jagged edges.

4. Finalize the drawing. Paint with different intensity the space around the iris, pupil, leaving the glow untouched. Lightly shade the eyelashes and outline the edge of the upper eyelid. Barely noticeably mark the crease of the upper eyelid fold to make the eye look more expressive.
