In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll create a hyper-realistic eye drawing with a fresh approach to background shading for a cleaner and sharper finish. Starting with a grid-based outline and using simple pencils (B, 3B, 5B, and 9B), you’ll learn how to layer tones, blend smoothly with brushes, and use erasers to add fine textures and crisp highlights. I’ll also show you how to experiment with masking tape edges and graphite powder for professional-looking backgrounds, along with tips for eyelashes, reflections, and realistic iris details. This tutorial is easier than the previous eye lesson but still packed with valuable techniques. References are included in the Materials section.
