I find the eye to be the most satisfying feature to draw. You can add so much depth and expression to it, play with the tones and so much more.
However, before you can get to all that fun, first you need to know the basics. The eye is a very fun draw but, without some pointers, it might take some time to get it right.
So, this video is really for first-level beginners. It’s the first step towards learning how to draw a face. Because it demands some attention and can make or kill your portrait. You’ll notice it’s the very first feature artist work on when drawing a face.
So, let’s dive in and have some fun. Grab your drawing pad, your pencil, an eraser and a pencil sharpener and you’re good to go.
Remember to set your subtitles, this video is in French. I’m kinda struggling to know who’s watching and what language to use. So some videos are in French, some in English, I’m still testing my audience. So, if you like my content, please drop a comment to let me know what language you prefer : English, French, Spanish. Thanks for helping.
Enough talking. Let’s draw!

One of my favorite drawing exercises is to start with nothing specific in mind and let my artwork reveal to me my worries and anxieties. This is how I ended up drawing this lady in the middle of the night.
I’ve been worried about some health issues lately so I gather that even though I’m not consciously thinking about them, that’s what’s keeping me up at night.
