How to Draw Lashes
Drawing beautiful lashes is an art that, when done correctly, can take your artwork up a notch. Not sure where to start? Here are some tips and tricks to help you draw amazing, fluttering lashes that will make your artwork look lifelike and perfect!
Materials
Before you start, make sure you have the right supplies ready. For drawing great lashes you’ll need at least a few basic materials like pen, paper, and pencils in various hardness grades. You’ll also need a detailed brush or an eyeliner brush. This will help you access the very small sections of the lashline. Investing in a small brush that has a large tip width, a smaller tip width, and a tiny round tip is a great idea if you want to add amazing finishing touches.
Focus on the Lash Line
When it comes to making your artwork look spectacular, it’s all about working on the lash line. To draw the lash line, start with creating small curved lines, that are perpendicular and outward from the artist’s side, from the inner and outer corners of your eye design. This will create the outline for your lash line. To give the lash line more volume, draw smaller lines above and below the initial outline using a softer pencil. Then, add more depth with the help of a detailed brush. This will give you realistic and wispy lashes that will look amazing!
Try Out New Styles
When it comes to lashes, there are so many different styles that you can try out. From dramatic, long and voluminous lashes to short, defined ones – the possibilities are truly endless. Experiment with different styles and lengths until you find the ones that you love the most and that go best with the overall look you’re going for.
Fine Lines and Brush Strokes
Once you have the basic lash line ready, it’s time to start adding detail. Brush up the area around your lash line with small and delicate strokes to create fine lines and texture. To achieve an intricate look, layer on the fine lines and brush strokes with an eyeliner brush. Keep increasing the pressure and the thickness as you brush outwards from the lash line.
Making the Finishing Touches
Once you’re happy with the overall look, it’s time to make the finishing touches. To make your artwork look realistic and perfect, dab and smudge the line to make them softer, kind of like you’d do with a mascara wand. And voila! Your lashes are complete.
Adding Color
The last step is to add the perfect hint of color to your lashes. This will add a natural and subtle shine, making your artwork look even better. Take your favorite eyeliner and color in the lashes for an instant glam. You can also add shadow and highlights with a makeup brush for extra depth and dimension.
Practice Makes Perfect
Drawing beautiful lashes can be tricky, but with the right technique and a little bit of practice, you’ll be able to achieve amazing results. So take your time, experiment, and have fun while you’re at it. And remember, don’t be afraid to experiment and try new styles and techniques. With a bit of practice and hard work, you’ll be able to create the most beautiful and perfect lashes that will make your artwork stand out!
