How to draw brown eyes

The artist

Tina Bojovic

I’ve always turned to drawing and painting to relax and escape from the chaos of life. Art has been my sanctuary, a place where I can retreat into my own world and find peace. I have a particular fascination with drawing eyes, as they captivate me with their depth and mystery, they are often called the windows to the soul. Professionally, I am a university lecturer at the University of Stavanger in Norway, where I am also pursuing my Ph.D. While my work demands a strong analytical focus, I find balance by immersing myself in the creative realm of art.

Step 1

Use Almond and Ivory Promarkers to draw the base of the skin around the eye.

Step 2

Use Promarkers in Putty, Soft Peach, Coral, and Orchid to fill in the darker areas of the skin. Wait for it to dry, then repeat.

Step 3

Use Ice Grey 3, Pastel Pink, and Plum in watercolour pencils to draw the sclera (the white part of the eye).

Step 4

Fill the iris with Ivory and Putty Promarkers.Use Warm Grey 5 and Cocoa in Promarker Brush to fill in the darker areas of the iris.

Step 5

Use an Xb Black Promarker to fill in the pupil.

Step 6

Use a 0.1 fine liner to draw the eyelashes and eyebrows. Fill in the eyebrow area with an Almond Promarker.
