Do your eye drawings look "off" - no matter how carefully you shade them?
You might be copying lines... without understanding the forms & structures behind them.
When drawing an eye, it’s easy to copy the lines you see without understanding the structures creating them. This often leads to:
❌ Lines that don’t start or end in the right place
❌ Entire forms being missed altogether (They're small! This happens all the time.)
❌ Eyes that look flat or disconnected — instead of dimensional and alive
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.
When you do know what to look for - and what to leave out - your eye drawings are simpler, more realistic, and easier to draw.
Studying anatomy reveals what’s hidden in plain sight.
What you'll learn in this workshop:
✔️ 11 parts of the eye you must know to draw realistic eyes
✔️ A recipe for a successful block-in (with a printable checklist!)
✔️ What to include — and what to leave out — in your eye drawing
✔️ How the forms of the eye change at different angles and poses
✔️ How to transform your eye drawings through the study of anatomy

Gaining a deeper understanding of anatomy was the first step in my own eye-drawing transformation. Now I teach the eye-drawing framework I developed to students around the world:
