Description A few people were asking me how I do eyes. So... here you go. It is animated.

DOWNLOAD TO VIEW

Do the sketch on one layer.
On top, draw the lids, iris and pupil.
On a layer between the sketch and lineart, color and shade the white of the eye.
On top of that, do the iris.
On top of everything, do a shine.

This is the only category I could get it into. Are there other categories that I can put animated GIFs into?

Of course it doesn't. Anyway, it does not download anything to your computer, it just shows the animation on its own page.

zenia In reply to kittyKatF [2008-01-02 00:16:46 +0000 UTC]

I use Photoshop 7. I am not really sure what kind of tools other programs have, since I only use Photoshop.

kittyKatF In reply to zenia [2008-01-02 01:19:10 +0000 UTC]

well it worked enough on what i have. I used Adobe Photoshop essentials 4 and it had all the tools. Thanx so much for the tutorial ^-^

The final white one? Manually. Just grab a "Hard Round" brush to do it.

That little circle thing in the beginning is a good idea. D: That would really help me keep my character's eyes more leveled and stuff. xD

I have a question though, do you know if there is a dodge tool (or something similar) in Painter 9 or do I have to import my drawing from Painter to Photoshop to do that?

zenia In reply to Pasithea [2007-12-28 22:44:30 +0000 UTC]

I used the 'glow' tool in the FX palette or something like that. You do have to be careful of what active color you have though. It works a little differently from Photoshops dodge, but it is the most like it.

I am not sure if there are any other things that allow GIFs, but It is really good and it exponentially increased my eye drawing ability, thanks a lot ^_^

I saw your profile on gaia, I would say that EVERYTHING you do is awesome!

Heh, and I laugh at the people who ask for 1k art or stuff, 100k is a reasonable sum, considering the effort, work, proportion, coloring, and blood, sweat, and tears added to the drawing, I would say though that 100k still isnt enough to charge for your beautiful art. Kudos for all of your beautiful drawings :3

Thanks! I am glad I could help. It is great that you understand the gold-art thing. So many people don't and it is sad. T_T

It is silly that they are not allowing GIFs in so many categories.

Nice tutorial. Methinks it'd be best in the tutorial/resource category, rather than animation.

zenia In reply to nika-chan [2007-12-28 17:03:46 +0000 UTC]

I do agree with you. That is where I *tried* to put it, but they won't let me put a GIF in there. T_____T
