In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll draw a hyper-realistic eye with water droplets on smooth sketchbook paper, using the grid method for accurate outlines and a layered graphite base for depth. You’ll learn how to create natural eyelashes, iris textures, and subtle skin details while adding realistic highlights and gradients to capture the wet, glossy effect. I’ll also demonstrate how to balance sharp details with soft blends using graphite powder, blending tools, and different erasers for textures. By the end, you’ll understand how to combine shading, highlights, and surface textures to achieve a striking eye portrait with lifelike droplets. References are included in the Materials section.
