hey
how you draw eyes?
you draw eyes so pretty and i want to know how you do it
((Alright strap in kids, this is gonna be a bit long. Iโll put the full thing under a read more to keep things clean. Hereโs a quick explanation on how I do eyes!
First of all, I work primarily in Paint Tool SAI2. If you already have SAI (which can be bought for around $52 USD here) you can upgrade for free to SAI2 on their website, which Iโd highly recommend.
There are mimic brushes on Clip and Photoshop, but I canโt attest for their accuracy.
These are my primary brush settings. I adjust the blending on the marker as preferred when painting. I use the marker to sketch, blend, and paint. I use the pen when I need to put down solid colors without blending or to add fine details.
Now for eyes. I love eyes because theyโre super expressive and can be so many possible shapes and sizes. Iโm going to assume you already have the fundamental knowledge of anatomy and how eyes work, and go into my process.
Itโs very simple. I start with a top and lower lid, or lash lines. From there, I can place the iris with the marker tool, keeping the opacity low, and adding a shadow for the top of the eye. Easy!
Really, you can stop at this point, depending on how detailed your style is. OR, you can be like me, and hyperfixate on little details because itโs relaxing and fun to paint.
Below, I have several examples. The first is a base, where I put in a regular pupil and some basic shadows. From there, I have a choice on what style I want to go with. For stylized realism, I go on the right and add a lot of finer lines around the pupil, varying up the tones because eyes arenโt all one solid hue or shade. Study pictures of eyes, youโll see theyโre very complex and subtly beautiful.
For a simpler look, like what I go for in my Inverted comic, I keep things more straightforward. A blended gradient from top to bottom, and then picking up several lighter and darker colors to add definition lines. Nothing excessive, just a little bit of flavor. I give the characters in my comic stylized unique eyeshines as well, because itโs fun. Cotton is one of the only characters I really define the eyelashes on, mostly bc his eyes are very important to his character and design.
And, just because itโs fun, I sketched up a few different eyes in color, varying the technique a little each time. You can go wild with shapes, colors, and painting techniques. I hope this was informative, and Iโd love to see the kinds of eyes you guys paint!))
Eukaryotic cell gang!! We love women in STEM.
The organelles of the cells have been translated into human anatomy, so the nucleus is the brain, the vacuole function as the lungs, and the mitochondria is the heart since itโs theโฆ you already know, I donโt have to say it ;)
This is probably more ADHD related, but does anyone have advice for days when you just cannot get your brain to focus? I have work to do, I can't keep getting up, staring at the wall, forgetting what I was doing literally while doing it etc etc ๐ญ
If you're dating a transfem, especially a butch one or a tall one or a big one you gotta just... not treat her like something to be afraid of. Like in a world where we are constantly painted as rapists, aggressors, hysterical bitches, and monsters you gotta fuckin stop and wonder how many times your girl has defanged herself. How many times has she dipped her shoulders and bowed her head because she was scared of being 'the bad one'? How many injustices and slights has she let slide because she wants to be soft and to be loved?
What does it do to her when you're too scared to have the hard conversations with her? How does the person you love feel when you show her even at home she is reduced to a potential for violence? If you avoid her, what thorns and poison does she imagine within and around herself?
If you want to love us, give us the dignity of trust. Talk to us like reasonable adults and let us feel. Don't dodge us while you find the right words to say, don't scatter eggshells on the floor then make us feel guilty you're walking on them, don't use trauma as an excuse to traumatize.
Someone asked for another hand tutorial and i once again failed to deliver the tutorial part
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think โWell, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot moreโ so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that โ10โ is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said โ6โ because I thought โWell, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.โ
Had a tiny mental breakdown at work a lil while ago over "Not tonight I have a headache", and how people so often seem unable to just take no for an answer, and by golly I hope nobody still has to say "Not tonight I have a headache" seriously in 2025 (unless you have an actual headache ofc it's your dime)
