Step 4. The Eyes & Lips
THE EYES
Usually the eyes reflect a highlight (or two, as in the case of our still) reflecting from spotlights or sunlight from a window.
Observe the photo and determine the direction the eyes are looking. This will effect the position of the eyeball in the eye. Duplicate this - using the fine pen - taking care to make the eyeball round, the same size in each eye and the same position. Draw the eyeball in the following order.
1.Mark reflection limits in blue pencil. This area to be left white.
2.Pen in the circular outline carefully.
3. Pen in the radial lines.
4. Black in the pupil with the felt tip pen - except for the reflection (blue) areas.
5. Pen in circular lines in the pupil.
Make a trial run on a piece of scrap paper before you ink it on your drawing.
THE LIPS
All shading should be radiused to indicate contour curvature, depending on angle of head. Top lip is always darker because it gets less light.
1. Mark in the highlight outline in blue pencil. This area to be left white.
2. Pen in dotted radioused contour lines.
3. Increase shading as required.
