Great video! ❤️ I'm not the first to find the asymmetries, but I'll note them anyway. 1) The right eye is shorter in length than the left. 2) The reflection in the right eye needs to be at the top of the pupil and maybe bring the pupil up a little. 3) I think the right crease needs to be a tad lower because it makes the brow look lower...we already checked the brows, so we know they are symmetrical. Also, I think the right brow could narrow a little more starting at the arch towards the tail.
Excellent tips and tools. Thank you. I had just completed a painting in my eyes were not symmetrical and now I see a way in which I can start with a better drawing to end up with a better painting. Thank you!!
Great little tutorial - the basics are where it's at. Love the mirror trick - half the time I find the flaws when I take a picture of something I drew to send to somebody and suddenly these issues become obvious. would love to find them sooner!
@Rapidfireart. I just would like to say first and foremost I love you heart, and I thank you so much for helping me with my art. I need help with drawing animal's specifically a cat... please ✌🏾if you can do a video on that
Thing is some people do have references for drawing which do have unidentical eyes Examples of these are hard to say but a good 1 is Angus scrimm as the tall man from the phantasm movies
I’d love a continuation of this. How do you draw the eyes in a 3/4 view of the face and make them look correct? I know you don’t draw them symmetrical at that angle, but how you you give the illusion of symmetry in a face at different angles. Does that make sense?
Quick question- i am really struggling with layering coloured pencils- if you could help me with that i would appreciate it alot!!!❤️❤️✨❤️❤️(i prefer drawing with graphite anyway but would love to improve with coloured pencils) This technique will come in super handy!!!❤️❤️👌❤️❤️ i cant wait to try and fix some of my symmetry fails The right eye is squished (for lack of better term lol)- the corners aren’t the same size,(if you look between the iris and edge of the eye lid on the inner corners they don’t match up) the right eyelid is too thick and gradients of some lines need to be adjusted- but i think this technique will help me so much in the future- i love drawing and all my school books might be filled with me practising the method of drawing hyper realistic eyes that you use- thank for that tutorial btw its AMAZINGGGGG and so easy to follow- thanks for your tutorials❤️❤️❤️
Density of shading!! Edit- this is the mistake that I think is common to the flaws I mean there is greater shading in eyebrow(right one) And also the Iris and pupil are not having proper symmetrical and same gradient of shading as that of left eye
I usually do this with a transparent ruler.. it helps me to be more accurate than when using a pencil ... few seconds later: ... I’m sorry ma’am I spoke too soon
1) width & length of the eyes doesn't match 2) light reflection in pupils doesnt match 3) distance between outer corners of eye to the crease 4) shading in the eyes 5) vertical distance between eyes and brows especially closer to the inner corners 6) softness & shape in the eyebrow tails 7) eyebrow thickness & shape
Actually very few people have symmetrical eyes, my left eye is lower than the right, also one eyelid droops slightly, we are not talking big margins here 2 or 3mm, I confirmed this by taking a face front photo, then in photoshop I bisected down the center the flipped one side, I ended up with two separate faces which was weird.

I laughed when you said check it in a mirror....I used to use that method when doing hand lettering to check spacing (kerning) also looking at a drawing or lettering upside down would reveal flaws. Another method I used when pin stripping to match two sides of a car was to use a mirror set up on completed side and viewable from side to be done. I thought about that with drawing symmetrically. If you take a piece of translucent material or a mirror not fully coated on the backside, you can rest in on your surface between drawn eye and eye to be drawn. Tilt it at a 45deg. Angle and you’ll see the drawn eye reflected and the surface where your about to draw. Almost like tracing. Hard to explain than to show.
The 2 that I saw was the Eyebrows and the Eyelids. The first one is the Eyebrows the left eyebrow on the bottom is a little bit more curved than than than the right. The other one is the Eyelids the right is a little bit more more slanted on the end then the left eyelid. An extra one is the Eyebrows the left one is skinnier than the right one.
I think this is a lesson for beginners. But in general, when you achieve a level of mastery, you will draw from a reference photo or a real life model and you will need to be able to draw what you see. And real people are typically are asymmetric. If you are drawing for commission, its better to be accurate otherwise your customer will be very unhappy.
There are three magical solution for the problem. 1. Messuring from reference until you are so used two drawing in right proportion you feel nervous if you placed something in the wrong place 2. Sketch first. The overall shape of the eyes is two plane and a line for the eyebrow. It is esaier to draw simetrical as a foundation and do the linework later, also it is easier to fix then redraw an eyes over and over. 3. Consistent linework. Every contour can be draw with the combination of straights, C-curves and S-curves. If you brake it down like this it is much easier to redraw something and it is much easier two mirror your work.
You always make everything looks to easy! Tell me why I couldn’t hold the ruler straight and both eyes stayed different in the end? It did get better tho 🤷🏽♀️
