How to Draw an Easy Female Anime Eye

Step 1.


To start off, we'll draw a reletively thick line. It should be wider in the middle than at the ends. On small-scale, it only requires a couple lines and maybe a mark to fill it in. on a larger scale, such as a portrait, you may need to put a little m   

Step 2.


This picture seems a bit confusing at first, but don't worry. The two light blue lines are guide lines. these should be very light, considering we'll be erasing them shortly after this step. In red is whatt we'll be sketching in. When finished, that

Description: The original for this was hand-drawn, but didn't go through. I thought it was a good tecnique for beginner anime drawers to have, so I redid it on Gimp. It took me a while to get down a good, easy styke, but I showed a few of my friends how to do it, and they instantly caught on and are currently practicing more complicated anime eyes. I hope This tutorial is helpful to all beginner anime artists, so please vote, comment, favorite and post the results! Good Luck!
