How to Draw Shiny Eyes by Farore
By Farore | May 6, 2010
Notes from the artist:
All done in Paint Tool Sai, with the pen tool, on low density / no size sensitivity. Some of the hard-edges stuff is the ink pen tool. Other than that there’s blur and airbrush, which I note when they turn up.
Important things to remember: the eyeBALL is a sphere, even though the lids cover most of it. Shade it like one. Eyelids and eyelashes cast shadows that cut into the highlight/reflection. The main highlight is a reflection of the light source and as such will be roughly the same shape, applied across the curvature of the cornea.

Intriguing, nice style and very effective. I’m going to give it a shot.
(Although I was never great at drawing anime let alone a furry using
technology in the first place :P)

This is helpful criticism. I am NOT trying to be abrasive or demeaning, and I apologize if you took it that way. If you were insulted, please accept my humblest apology, and the word of a dragon that nothing was meant to offend. And please, refrain from sending me e-mails, the address I gave, to the best of my knowledge, does not exist.

Mmmmmm…
Very interesting. Could you possibly give a tutorial on how to do this in PENCIL or with PAINT, or MARKERS, etc. Most people probaly don’t have the program you used(and I particularly enjoy contemporary methods). Also, even though I’m 18, some visitors(or members!) on this site may be young, so please, try to avoid luidness(profanity). They don’t need to be subjected to our ‘manner’ of speach. Don’t get me wrong! Your tutorial was excellent! A little vague(just a little, but details do help!)
