The effect can be just as great with any pencil, but a graphite pencil will take longer to shade. With this charcoal pencil I can indicate gradations instantly. With graphite you have to slowly build up the gradations if you want them clean.

what i love most about these great artists its that they dont even need an eraser!! they draw a line and its already gold. i want to get to this level someday.

ya, usually you can't see the curl of the bottom lashes (sometimes). I usually indicate them with a darker area for the entire group of lashes.

See, you're the kind of artist/teacher I've always looked for on KZfaq. Now I can actually learn! Yay!

What a great talent as an artist and a teacher! Many thanks for sharing.

I'm drawing on smooth newsprint with a conte 1710 B and use a kneaded rubber eraser

my teacher at school recommends you

Damn, where have you been my whole life! I've been wanting to learn how to draw for years and stumbled upon your tutorials by accident a few days ago. Thank you so much! Your way of teaching is very easy to follow for beginners like me. You explain everything in layman's term and actually uses analogies that are very easy to understand. Keep doing what you're doing!

I've been drawing all my life and decided it was time to get back to the basics to get more in depth and you came out of nowhere with a helping hand for the understanding of the shapes that make up the human anatomy. Thank you, really!

I love your videos, it helps understand the "why" of the shapes, and this is so fundamental when drawing photorealistic/semi realistic images!! I love your style and techniques. Thank you so much for helping others and sharing!!

Everything here is absolutely incredible! I've learned so much just from a few videos. Keep it up

you´ve come a long way with your channel .. 2019 anyone XD ???

I love slowing these kinds of videos down and trying to follow along....takes forever to watch but you are a great teacher, detailing all the steps and I find this a great way to learn!

Thank you so much for this, Proko. You are helping to improve my drawing skills immensely.

I just love how you give this step by step classes and have this great sense of fun doing so ,I really enjoy them , thanks Stan :)

We just started to learn how to draw eyes in my art school and my teacher said to watch your videos to practice more.

The music makes me think of Steve from Blue's clues, doodlin' in his handy dandy notebook. Hahaha. Great tutorials. Thank you for explaining what everyone else seems to leave out!

Thank you sooo much! This and the previous tutorial with the eye structure are fenomenal! I finally succeded in drawing an eye.

I can only imagine how much you have improved since 2012 omg. Wish I have started earlier too

Thanks! This was quite helpful. Any tips on making both eyes symmetrical?

I immediately applied this and the result is massive omg, my drawing improved so much. Thank you for this tutorial!

I really admire your work, thank you for sharing and best of luck on your journey!

brilliant teacher! my first try surprised me.. guess i had the skill but i did not understand the fundamental basics of lighting and shapes. thank you!

I know that this is an old video and I don't expect you to respond to me, but this video is the best! No joke, the absolute best eye step-by-step I've ever encountered. Before, my eyes were basically a circle with two smaller circles and a bad eyelid. Now it's improved 100%! thank you so much for making this! 10/10!

wow, this helped me SO much! I wish I could send you the before and after pics of my drawings so you could see! It's nuts how much being able to watch someone do it makes a difference.

Best drawing lessons ever!! So clean and easy!

one of the best channels for drawing in my opinion. learned so much from your videos!

although this is still a challenge for me, this is by far the simplest most perfect way of drawing a realistic eye i have EVER come across so THANK YOU for that.

Before watching this video I was drawing just to get a feeling with lines and stuff (first time trying to draw 2d seriously, I'm learning 3d modeling atm) and my drawing has always been bad, but for some reason I noticed I'm quite comfortable working on 3D. After watching this video I know why. It is not that I can't draw lines for saving my life, I just lack anatomy knowledge and the ability to translate irl 3d objects to 2d on paper. I listened carefully to Proko and put an effort to make the eye as shown and... ! I can't believe I have just draw a decent eye! I'm impressed with myself. I know I can definitely improve and draw better lines and learn proportion a bit more but I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you sir.

You are an AMZAZING artist! I learned so much more by watching you than my art teachers in highschool ever thought me about actually drawing!

I have just learnt so much from your tutorials. I watched my drawing go from mmm...something's wrong but I don't know what it is, to oh my gosh I cant believe a I just drew a perfectly real eye!

The eye I drew using this tutorial has been my best one yet. Thank you!

wow this is THE most helpful eye tutorial! i tried drawing one with these directions and woah, my drawing looks so deep and so alive! absolutely love it!

Really helpful! Clear and understandable. Thanks a lot!

I've come back to this series week by week and just noticed that I've been doing one of the steps wrong, finally snapped into me. Thanks for the free content though, I love it.

Thank you, Stan! Perfect tutorial. I'll try to watch all your videos and learn from you. Respect and peace!

Thanks for this tutorial! I believe I did a good job! Boosted my self confidence to continue!

I just love your style! Keep doing these videos, You teaught me so mutch! Thanks a lot!

I love your tutorials. I've gotten so much better by watching them. One question I was having after watching your two eye videos is, these are awesome if you're drawing an up-close of the eye. But do you have a video or tips for how to make it smaller in the sense of fitting it into the face? It seems as if that would require either drawing everything really small or needing to know how to condense it.

Learning so much from your videos, thank you so much for taking the time to create these. Gonna share these with my whole class

Thank you so much! This really helped. Never in my 20+ years of sporadical interest bursts in drawing have I ever managed to make an eye that actually looks good, but lo and behold - my first attempt at following this tutorial was so good that I had to show my partner and he actually got creeped out by how realistiv it looked :D

I've found that your 'how to draw facial features' playlist has been very helpful for me! Thank you!

Awesome movement in your shadows seems to come from your hand position on the pencil. I try to draw like that but have no control. Great video

It's amazing how huge the whole brow and eye area is! He draws soooo much space for the whole thing. My eye proportions have sucked for years. Just have to draw eyes over and over and over again

Proko these are amazing! thank you and this helped me so much

It's great! How easy it looks when you explain it! Now we just need to practice, practice, practice. Thank you and Congratulations on the videos.

omg. this is such a help. i go to an art school and they literally teach me nothing close to this.. i cant thank you enough for putting up such amazing tutorials... you ve got a fan !! keep up the good work.

Dude, I cannot wait for your anatomy lessons, These are so helpful! Thanks! ^.^

I would like to thank you Stan so much for these tutorials! Now, i am watching those for 3rd or may be 4th time, and triying to analyze every line/shape/form/shadow you placed on those. It is really helpfull videos. I am recommending you to all of my friends meanwhile)

Very educational video for me . Thank you for your time and sharing your awesome talent!

What a great talent as an artist and a teacher! thank you for sharing..

Used this tutorial and result was amazing! Awesome!

I printed out your tutorials a long time ago. Glad to see you have a KZfaq page I can learn from too.

Your videos are really helpful! THANK YOU MASTER PROKO! :)

These are the best quality tutorials on KZfaq.. just outstanding..

try looking for places the have live models. Drawing only from photos will create bad habits. Take a look at Vilppu's figure drawing manual. Also, check bad on my channel. I will have some gesture videos hopefully in a few months.

Another fantastic art teacher!

Love the production value of your videos, man.

I always struggled to draw realistic eyes, i tried various methods but none of them really worked for me, I got good results but not what I wanted. With these 2 videos I finally managed to have a satisfying result at the first try! Thank you so much for your work and dedication!

Va multumesc pentru videourile dumneavoastra. Imi sunt foarte utile!❤❤❤

Thanks to this video I managed to make the best eye I have ever done in my entire life. You're a wonderful teacher.

신기해요! 선생님 영상 볼 때 마다 넉 놓고 보는거 같아요. 설명도 간단하고 재밌달까...

this is the best tutorial I have seen so far.. thanks man, you are a master!

awesome strokes and confident lines

Simply wonderful series..thanks👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇹

Everytime I watch your vids my mind always say: There's a possibility I can be a genius artist 😂 .

Prepared my sketchbook and my pencil, started the video so excited and motivated and I've fallen behind after the first minute. I guess the youtube speed settings still remain my friend for this epic channel full of tutorials ;n; Great video!:)

Great Job dude. THANKS for the info. I just got some of your dvs. An i love them.

so inspiring!! anytime I need some more guidance, this channel is one of my main go-to channels! thank you !

Hey Stan, This is a great video and I use it to augment my abilities to draw the human head by Burke Hogarth, (not far from your method. I am having a problem placing both eyes in the correct plain on the face below the Supercillary Arch and the nose. I was wondering if someday you might do a video on the subject. Thanks. Kim

Hi Stan nice tutorial, you make the Loomis books alive! You have the same educational and inspiring speech of the books. Keep the good work

It's so clear!!!! the information is so clearly put!!!!!

This is an amazing instructional video. Thank you for the incredible work you do. I feel like a lot of my freehand drawings have a slant or tilt. How do you correct or overcome this? Thanks!

you're the only one to ever actually make me make good art. can you do a video on how to draw an eye at different angles? if there's a video like that out there someone let me know

Thanks for your awesome tutorials, I'm trying to give all the feedback I can.

Your videos are very helpful thanks for sharing.

really the most helpful and professional videos on youtube! Thanks a lot

wow this was so helpful! I never thought I could make a realistic eye myself! This has set a great base for me :D will definitely watch more of your vids :DDDDD

Your videos are So much more useful than all the drawing classes I have attended

Love your vids and I will be watching them all! Thanks

Amazing video and love the way you teach

These videos are just great. Very simple, everybody can easily understand, great examples, and sometimes even very funny. I can see you doing art classes someday. I will come back these someday, im only one month in and im still struggling with cubes, perspective and shading :)

everything is crystal clear.... i finally get to know my problem in my drawing that i didnt construct the steps. thank you for this video.

I have to say a big Thank you! Since i discovered you channel, my drawing became more realistic! Before i had no idea about the shades,perspective and sother stuffs like that but now, I can't say I draw like a pro, but my drawings evolved a lot and i am so tankfull for that! Keep going!I also like the fact that you are realxed and joking sometimes ..you make these 6-8 minutes seem so easy. I know thid video is kinda old but I just discovered and i wanted to share my experience and stuffs like that with ..well .. the internet lol.. P.s. sorry if i spelled something wrong but I'm romanian and...yeah.. "reasons" :)) ..

If it wasn't for your videos, I wouldn't be able to draw so well. Thank you very much for teaching me so well and completely❤

YAY, I MANAGED TO DRAW HARRISON FORD'S EYE USING THIS TUTORIAL!!!
