Eye see you - Animal eyes

Drawing the eyes of an animal can be challenging. Eyes come in different colours, sizes and shapes. A cat's eye doesn't look the same as a dogs, or a cows eye the same as a chickens. Sounds complicated right? Not as complicated as you think. The key to it all is of course practice - lots of it no matter how wierd or strange you may think your drawing turns out gives this one a go anyway. This eye isn't from any one particular critter. It's one I made up so I could have some practice as well. For this you'll need a selection of pencils H, HB,2B & 6B. don't worry if you haven't grab whatever you do have even a ball point pen will do or even a kids crayon. One thing I am not and that's an art teacher. This is all for fun and it should always be that way. The final image is a little blurred and my camera has decided to have a flat battery. You'll see the stages used to create a whatever critter eye.

Draw a Basic Circle and half circles with an H Pencil

I added in extra lines as I went as you can see. Don't worry too much if they are not the same
Very Lightly with the H Pencil shade the area as shown

Using an HB in the outer part of the eye strengthen the outlines and if you want you can add in some detail with simple lines then gently shade in underneath. Darken the pupil with a 2B pencil.
On the outer part around the pupil use the HB to shade around the edges. Don't worry about the extra bits and pieces I have added I did that just for fun.

Using a 6B Pencil darken the pupil further then gently using the same pencil shade over inner edge of the eye and when you're done you have an eye see you!
