You can draw a curve or two right there to indicate the transition between the two forms. It’s a soft pink bit of flesh that is separate from the eyeball.
Located at the inner corner of the eye is an area called the caruncula. Here’s an example of a parallel crease, which is common amongst people of Caucasian descent.Ĭarefully erase all your construction lines: the circle and straight line. The degree you taper it is up to you – In the example below, the eyelid crease is only visible at the very end.įor some southeast Asians, the crease may not be visible at all, and for others, it may even run parallel to the top eyelid instead of being tapered on one end. To make the eye appear Asian, taper your pencil stroke at the inner corner of the eye. We’re going to draw a crease that runs above the top eyelid. Here’s where we can make the eye look Asian or Caucasian. The bottom lid should appear a lot less curved than the top one, but not completely flat/straight. Try to keep it close to the line we drew in step 2. It makes the skin look as though it’s in tension: I also like to do the same thing with the inner corner of the eye. When drawing caucasian eyes, I like to end my stroke at the intersection of the circle and straight line, but for an Asian eye, I like to extend my stroke just a little further: While you’re drawing it, picture the eyelid hugging the spherical eyeball. While staying within the boundary of your circle, draw the top eyelid. It can be narrow, wide, shallow, deep, small or large.
I drew a deep V shape, but you can also draw a U or a mix of the two, etc. You can use a wide variety of shapes for the inner corner of the eye. Note: For this tutorial, the left side of my circle is going to be the inner side of the eye. Choose how slanted you want your eye to be and draw a line going through the circle at the angle you prefer. It doesn’t have to be perfect because we’re going to completely erase it later.Įyes can slant in a variety of ways. If you’ve already followed my other tutorials on drawing eyes, you can skip straight to step 4 because most steps are similar. You can easily make any drawing of an eye go from, for example, Caucasian to southeast Asian by changing just a few aspects which we’ll dive into as we go along.
One of the most distinctive features of southeast Asian eyes is that the eyelid crease is tapered instead of parallel with the top eyelid.
