I took some pictures to remind myself how to draw eyes and give me something to practice from and then thought maybe other people need pictures of eyes to help them practice so here’s some pictures of my left eye doing some things.
Also remember the actual eyeball isn’t a perfect sphere, the cornea forms a little bump over your pupil so that changes the eye shape depending on how it’s moving (if you’re going for super realism). This is also why, if you look at/draw a side view of an eye, the pupil isn’t actually right on the edge of the eyeball, it’s set in more, because the cornea sticks out. Example of what I’m talking about

Right click + New Tab to see the images in their original size. There are 10 images, sorry I had to chop them up because Tumblr has a image size limit and starts resizing.

So I took it into my own hands to make a reference file for eyes. These are mostly personal observations, but will hopefully be useful to other artists! But it’s mostly just notes.
