How To Draw Wink Eye

Have you ever wanted to master drawing a wink eye? Drawing a wink eye is one of the most fun and expressive ways to get creative with your artwork. With a few simple steps, you can create a wink eye that looks realistic, eye-catching, and beautiful. In this article, we’ll be exploring the basics of how to draw a wink eye, so you can impress your friends.
First things first, let’s begin by discussing how to draw a circle within a circle. This is the foundational shape of the eye, so it’s important to get right. Draw a circle within a smaller circle. Use a light pencil to outline the shapes lightly, allowing for easy erasing if need be. Once the circles are both drawn, fill the larger eye using an appropriate color for the iris.
Now it’s time to draw the eyelashes. Most drawings of wink eyes have the top eyelid slightly closed and the bottom half open. It’s important to draw the eyelash lines in a way that aligns with this look. Start from the top of the inner circle. Create curved lines that get longer as you move outwards, creating a double eyelash line. This helps create a more realistic wink eye look.
The next step for the wink eye is to draw the eyebrow. Start with a thin, curved line. As you move outwards, add a few short lines – short, but still sharp longer curves near the top and small straight lines near the bottom. This adds a confident arched look that looks natural.
Finally, the final step in mastering the wink eye is to draw the rest of the eye surroundings. Draw curved lines above the outer edge of the eye, representing eyelids and the triangular shape of the eye. This can involve a few attempts before it looks right so feel free to erase and redraw a few times as needed.
Now it’s time to put the finishing touches on our wink eye. Use a dark pencil to add dimensional shading in and around the outline of the eye, allowing for more realism and the illusion of dimension. This can be a tricky step so it’s important to practice beforehand.
As you can see, creating a wink eye can be fun and rewarding if done correctly. As long as you are diligent about each step and continuously practice, you can create stunning characters that comes to life with character and expression.
To take your wink eye artwork to the next level, consider adding highlights. Add small, thin lines of white or light-grey in a few strategic places, like the center of the iris and a few near the eyelids. You can also use light mediums, like charcoal, to draw the whites of the eyes and highlights in the corners of the eye.
It’s also important to not forget about any tiny details, like eye veins and the pupil. Make sure to bring the eye to life by adding tiny veins in the iris, and a small black circle for the pupil. This can be done with a dark pencil or pen, and should look very natural with slight imperfections.
Coloring in the eye is a fun, creative way to make it come alive. Add light blends of color to the pupil and iris, then begin lightly blending in darker and lighter shades within the same color. Pay attention to the highlights and lowlights that catch your eye within an eye photograph, and try to replicate them into your wink eye.
Lastly, another important step in crafting a wink eye is to add texture in and around the air. Add in small squiggles to the eyelashes and texture to the eyebrow to make it appear more naturalistic and lustrous. To make the eye look soft and gentle, use blunt pencils to smudge out the surrounding lines.
As you can tell, drawing a wink eye is both fun and rewarding. Even though there are a few tricky steps, as long as you follow all of the steps outlined in this article, your wink eye will be something to be proud of. Good luck!
