I can understand what you are saying, but the poor lighting makes it difficult to see what you are pointing at or the drawing for that matter.

It would have been great to actually see what the instructor was speaking about.

How To Measure & Draw the Human Eyes

Hi my name is Alaina, and I’m going to be speaking on behalf of Expert Village. And I’m going to be giving you some art tips on how to do a good human form drawing. Okay when you’re going to draw your eyes in, you’re going to put them in and you’re going to measure them out, one eye length in between both of your eyes is the estimate on how much space to put in between both of your eyes. Okay when you’re drawing in the rest of your body, if you draw in your neck line, it always starts coming from your ear, instead of lower, you need to actually start the neckline from the base of your ear where that comes. And then just a tip on the eyes, when you’re drawing eyes, you never want to draw the top of the eye, the circle on the top of the eye, you want to keep it inside, so you’re going to draw your top eyelid, your bottom eyelid and then draw the bottom circle of the eye and the top part of it is actually going to be out of your eye. That’s how it makes it look three-dimensional.
