Draw it step by step

Six steps to eyes

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Two eye shapes

Draw two almond shapes side by side, pointy at the corners.

2

Add the circles

A big round circle inside each eye — those are the coloured parts.

3

Add the pupils

A filled dot in the middle of each circle. Now they can look at you.

4

Add eyelashes

Three little lashes at the outer corner of each eye.

5

Add eyebrows

A curvy eyebrow above each eye, like two little rainbows.

6

Add a sparkle

A tiny shine in each eye to make them twinkle. Now these eyes are yours.
