Drawing Eyes: April 27-May 1
In coming weeks, I would like to challenge students to draw faces. Working toward this, I challenge you to practice drawing individual facial features. This page is dedicated to eyes and the anatomy of the human eye.
The objective here is to fill a page with studies of eyes. If you draw larger, or want to paint, you can do it over several pages.
Students sometimes ask "How many eyes do I have to draw?" I usually tell them, that it depend on how much detail is involved or how large they draw. On average for this assignment, I expect between six and eight eyes on a page.
Uphill Challenge: Do a page of small studies in pencil and/or pen and then try one in full color
Experimental: Try using non traditional materials such as makeup to add interest.
When you finish, photograph your work and attach it as an assignment in Teams.

What you need
- Pencil
- Paper
- cell phone or magazine photos for reference.
How to get started
Watch the video (or other videos you can find). Use references to practice drawing as many eyes as you can fit on a page. Use different references. Take photos of your family and yourself to use. Try drawing the eyes of children and people of different ages and cultures. Try to stay away from repeating the same type of eye over and over.
