Art Direction

Time to fill in the ??? for art director.

Here is an example of one style of "Anime" eye (there are many):











  1. Drawing in the lids/shape of the eye and the Iris
  2. Defining the iris and lids more, adding the eyebrow
  3. Placing of the pupil in the eye
  4. Starting to shade the Iris
  5. More shading of the Iris (light is coming from the right)
  6. Shading the Iris is finished up
  7. More Highlights are added to the Iris
  8. Eyelids are more shaded, eyelashes added
  9. Finishing by shading the Eyeball and around the eye.
I reckon that Anna and Leo's eyes be a little more on type of eyes.
Leo can be a 5 or a 6 because he has more heart and human feelings
rather than his eyes now that always has his killer stare from his training.
Anna can readily be an 8 or 9

One of the styles eyes based around a triangle shape which is good for sexy/evil characters:












  1. Drawing the shape of the eye in
  2. Refining the shape, adding some eyelashes and the eyebrow
  3. Placing the Iris.
  4. Placing the Pupil (notice that in this case the pupil is not round, but more triangle shaped - like a cat or vampire eye)
  5. Shading the Iris
  6. Adding highlights to the Iris
  7. Shading the eyeball
  8. Shading under the eye & highlighting corner of the eye
  9. More shading around the eye and finishing the eyebrow
  10. More shading under the eye
  11. Darkening shading under the eye and placing the scar
  12. Finishing with shading more around the eye, highlighting and blending in the scar.
Wonderful job with Fenrir's eyes. It can get more vicious than Leo's.
