Eye Corners: Look and Compare

Name ____________________ Date __________

WHAT YOU WILL MAKE

Make two observed studies with one corrected relationship. Focus on eye corners.

Shared feature reference for Eyes
Shared feature reference. It may not show this task’s exact pose, accessory, or style. Use the teacher’s matching reference too.

Draw it step by step

Place the inner and outer corners before the lids.

  1. Use one mirror view or teacher-approved reference. Make the first drawing lightly and compare width, height, and angle.
  2. Mark two points at the observed angle.
  3. Join them with unequal upper and lower curves.
  4. Check the height against the width.
  5. Circle a mismatch in the first study. Make a second study correcting that one relationship before adding detail.

Common drawing problem: A football-shaped symbol

Repair: Observe where the upper curve reaches its highest point.

Check your work: What became closer to the reference, and how can you tell?

Materials: pencil, eraser, paper, and a mirror or teacher-approved reference. Optional black drawing pen; no painting required.
