How to Draw Eye Shapes
Draw eye shapes in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: round eye.
Step 1: Round eye
In the top left quarter of your paper, draw a big circle about as wide as your fist.
Tip 4 eye shapes share the page: one in each quarter.
Step 2: Round iris and pupil
Inside the circle, draw a smaller circle in the middle, with a black dot in it. Leave 2 white shines.
Step 3: Almond eye
In the top right, draw an almond eye with pointed ends. Curve a lid fold just above, a bit shorter.
Step 4: Almond iris and pupil
Inside the almond, draw a circle in the middle, a black dot pupil and a white shine top left.
Step 5: Happy closed eye
In the bottom left, draw a closed eye: a thick rainbow, starting and ending as wide as the eye above.
Step 6: Lidded eye
In the bottom right, draw an almond eye with iris, pupil and shine. Add a thin lid corner to corner.
Step 7: Eyebrows
Above each eye, draw a leaf eyebrow, thick in the middle and pointed at both ends.
Step 8: Peach lid, blue iris
Colour the thin lid peach and the iris under it blue. Leave the eye white.
Step 9: Brown and green irises
Colour the round iris brown and the top almond iris green. Leave the eye whites white.
Step 10: Brown eyebrows
Colour all 4 eyebrows brown. Go over your lines and your eye shapes are done.
