cartoon eyelashes in BREMERTON.This lesson is about painting and does not cover drawing skills or address proportion to a great extent.
If you learn to use the correct techniques on your already finished drawing, you should do fine.
First, you should start with an accurate drawing of the subject you plan on painting.
Some artist use the grid method, while others free hand the initial drawing.
I like to start my portraits with the eyes.
Components of the eye.
There are a lot of components of the eye and it is the most complicated facial feature to paint.
If your painting is not to be too detailed, you can omit the eye lids the corner membrane and maybe even the lashes.
The pupil should be black or extremely dark using burnt umber and it usually has a reflection in it.
This reflection or catchlight should be two toned, matching the whites of the eyes.
The iris will have several tones and is never just one color.
The whites of the eyes are never pure white but shades of gray, and will most likely not be the brightest spot on the face or the whole painting.
I usually add a tiny bit of red in the corner membrane.
Also, when painting the eyes, remember proportion.
There is most usually a distance of one eye width between the two eyes.
Paint in the white first.
Now paint in the iris.
Fill in the iris area with most of the iris color.
Add specks of other color within the iris.
The iris is usually quite a few colors.
Brown eyes have a touch of black and maybe even yellow.
Study your subject for accurate color variation.
Use an out lineof a darker shade like burnt sienna and outline the entire iris.
Now with the same burnt sienna paint in a pupil.
Depending on how the light hits the eye will depend on where the catchlight of the iris will be.
Make sure that the catchlight hits both eyes in generally the same spot however.
A line painted in over the top of the eye will serve as the upper eyelid.
Some people have a definite line to define the lower lid as well.
The eyelids should be painted how you see them.
Eyelashes when painting eyelashes, paint what you see as well.
In reality peoples eyelashes rarely protrude straight up like a cartoon!
Eyelashes are usually seen as protruding slightly upward and sideways.
They are usually in small clumps as well.
Sometimes they get one or two tiny lashes and that is it.
The same hold true for children and even women.
Paint a few representative lines to indicate lashes, step back and look at it before going on.
Also remember not to create them too long as they will look unnatural.
Eyebrows the last parts of the eye to mention are the brows.
You will add tiny but important details now to finish the eye.
