hello my beautiful bunnies! ♥
welcome to my next tutorial!
this time it will be something that you asked for in the comments several times Q v Q
so i really hope you'll find this tutorial helpful
i'm talking here about the tutorial 'how i color eyes'
it isn't too complicated as you may think so you just have to try!
in this tutorial i'm gonna show you the whole process
so sit comfortably and make yourself at home
because this tutorial can be a little wordy Q v Q
before we start, i would like to apologize for my voice
which could be a little cranky because i'm a little bit sick
but don't worry, we're gonna make it through this whole tutorial
i really hope that it won't bother you too much > v <
let's start the tutorial! ♥
'Tutorial - how to color eyes"
i start by drawing out auxiliary lines, which show us where our eyes outlines should start and end
when it comes to this first sketch i prefer to draw my eyes really round and cute
if you want your character to look a little bit more mature
sketch the eyes more narrow and smaller
because of that, the whole face will look more serious and sharp
due to the fact that our character is facing straight, vis-a-vis
we can copy the outline of one eye
but remember, that you can do this ONLY if the character is looking ahead
because even a small change in the face setting can modify perspective, which effects our drawing
and then our second, copied eye will not look good in the final result > _ <
don't be so lazy guys, just draw the second eye properly! T v T) /
after finishing this quick sketch i'm gonna put some cleaner lines to our eyes
as you can see i'm not worrying about making my lines really clean and precise
because i'm working on a really big canvas and i know that after i zoom out my drawing you won't be seeing these messy lines
and tbh this messy style looks really good in the end sometimes Q v Q
so here you can see me again copying lines from the first eye, because both can look the same (omg i'm such a cheater T 3 T)
as for the eyebrows, copying them will make them look unnatural, so i recommend drawing them separately ^ v ^
i also apply the base color of the skin, for illustrative purposes only
the point here is to see how these eyes would look in net result
i start coloring by selecting white of the eye
it's something that you can easily forget when the skin is very bright
so remember to put this white color underneath
or some other color if the whites of our character are yellow or black
because i happened to draw such characters too!
i chose blue color for my eyes because i like working with it the most
if you have watched my previous tutorials, you already know that thanks to the fact that we have lines on another layer
we can pick 'selection source' and fill in our lines only with the bucket tool T v T
also remember that the layer with base color has to be under our lineart
next, i quickly organise my layers because you know that i hate being messy when i'm working > v <
so i create this folder 'eyes' and i put there all my layers that i'll be working with
if you want our next layer to be limited only to the color we have previously applied
we must check the 'clipping mask' box
because of that we will work only in the area that we have previously filled
describing consecutive stages i will refer to the color blue and its shades
let's remember to adjust the colors to what base we chose at the beginning
on the first layer i put a darker shade and erase this oval shape at the bottom of our iris
by using the eraser, we expose our basic blue color o v o
on the next layer we will work in multiply mode
we have to create these two stretched triangles on both sides of the eye
they will define the border between the darker and lighter color
on the next layer (multiply) we apply even darker color only on top of our iris
remember that at each stage we can play with the settings (saturation/hue)
thanks to the fact that we create new layers, each color can be subjected to new settings
this layer with a darker color i like to blend a bit more to make the transition more soft and subtle
the next layer in the overlay mode allows us to create this first reflection at the very bottom of our iris
i really like to choose yellow here because it matches every eye color ♥
on the next layer (overlay), we create the first reflection of light, but remember that this is not the basic glow
so it should remain on the reduced opacity
thanks to this, this reflection is not so obvious and strong
as for this color, i always check in the settings which tint fits here best
as you can see here, i started with the color blue, but at the end I went towards the pink hue
on the next layer (overlay) we draw couple small dots at the very bottom of the iris
the next layer (overlay) will allow us to make room for our pupils ^ v ^
this darker color is not yet the proper pupil (but of course you can leave it like that)
but i prefer to make a depth first that allows our pupils to stand out even more
i create pupils on the next layer
in my case they are white, but here you can also check which color suits you best
it can be white, black or grey
this little dot changes everything because thanks to this our character begins to see T v T
the next layer will be in the luminosity mode
this luminosity mode allows us to create even brighter spots (and i love the shine!)
i also leave this tiny dots in iris that imitate starry sky ♥
if you don't have a brush that allows you to disperse these dots, you can do it manually
of course, it will take more time, but the effect will be similar!
now we are going to the most important part, which is creating our main reflection of light
remember that this reflection should also pass through our layer with lineart
so this layer with the reflection must be at the very top of all layers
we must remember that if this light in our eyes is on the left
we should remain consistent in coloring the whole drawing, so keep illuminate our character from the left
in addition to the basic reflection of light, i like to do such small brush strokes also on the remaining lines
because of that, we add even more light to these eyes
of course, you can overdo everything, but recently i really like to add these small dots also on the remaining lines
all right, who wants even more light in our eyes? (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
if so, create an additional layer with a gray color that appears on top of our iris
we can blend it a little bit and decrease the opacity
this gray color will add a light gloss to our eyes
the last stage will be coloring our lines
i think this small change adds a lot of charm to our character [i have changed color of my lineart before]
however, you have to be careful because when we have green eyes, for example
let's face it, green eyelashes will look strange (;⌣̀_⌣́)
so remember to always check it out instead of follow this beaten path ♥
the most universal color will be black here
because it will match any base color!
okay, now it is really the last stage! ╰(▔∀▔)╯
in overlay mode, over our layer with lines
i also repaint the ends of our lashes to make them shine even more (i'm addicted to shine, okay?) ♥
and that's it!! (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚
as usual, i wish you good luck! ♥
let me know if you would like to know the other secrets of my drawing (´。• ᵕ •。`)
i hope this tutorial will be helpful to some extent
don't give up, draw and watch out for colds (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)
see you in the next video! bye bye ♥ ♥ ♥
