Do your eye drawings look "off," no matter how carefully you shade them?
You might be copying lines instead of understanding forms. We can fix that:
Anatomy of Realistic Eyes
Essential eye anatomy every portrait artist should know
Many students copy the lines they see without understanding the forms creating them — and that’s why their eye drawings look flat and unconvincing.
The solution is simple: learn the essential anatomy of the eye.
When you know what to look for (and what to leave out), you can draw eyes with clarity, accuracy, and confidence.
When you don't know what to look for, you miss what's right in front of you, because...
You can’t draw what you can’t see!
Studying anatomy reveals what’s hidden in plain sight.
In this course, you'll:
✔️ Discover 11 parts of the eye that you must know to draw them realistically
✔️ Understand how the parts of the eye change as the eye or head moves, so that you can draw eyes in any pose, facing any direction
✔️ Unlock the recipe for a successful block-in for an eye drawing (there's a checklist!)
✔️ Learn what to include and what to leave out of a block-in to set yourself up for successful shading
✔️ Transform your eye drawings through the study of anatomy
What's Included:
🎥 13 Lessons (1 hr 45 min total — easy to complete at your own pace)
✍️ 3 Targeted Exercises to lock in what you’ve learned
📝 Eye Block-In Checklist for clarity every time you start a drawing
🌀 10 Interactive 3D Models - from eye sockets to eyeballs, rotate these right in the course to see how the forms of the eye change in different positions
This course distills essential eye anatomy into clear, practical lessons designed for portrait artists. You’ll finally understand the structures behind realistic, believable eyes — and see your drawings improve immediately.

Gaining a deeper understanding of the anatomy and structure of the eye was the first step in my eye-drawing transformation.
Through study, practice, trial and error, I not only transformed my eye drawings - I developed (and now teach) an effective framework for drawing realistic, believable eyes:
