![]() Looking at the reference image again and seeing orange, I've introduced the pumpkin orange to the two corners of the eye and under the pupil, noting that the latter looks darker and the colour more saturated in the photo. It also depends on how many shades and hues of colour you can find in the areas you are depicting, so don't be overwhelmed by the array of to-do's. Exactly how many layers of colour, is up to you, though I usually keep a minimum of five to seven when I'm not too lazy to indulge in it. Now do the same for the rest of the eye - base layer of dominant colour, followed by a layer of white, second layer of the next colour you want to mix with the dominant one, then white again, and so forth. Each lesson has been made easy with step-by-step pictures showing each part of the drawing process. You can draw them with your child or youngest students. The white acts as a "primer" on which another layer of colour can be set in over it, and the previous layer will show through and play its part subtly in the finished drawing. Easy Cat Drawings Here is a list of easy cat drawings. Returning to the pupil (this is one of the keys to this coloured pencil layering idea) the subsequent layer is white. Since yellow is the middle colour, and the lightest - it takes less effort layering than other secondary colours - I set it in first. Here, the iris consists of a blend of orange, yellow and green. I use the same procedure as with the black outline, except here I prefer to put in colour with a small, circular motion, to cover larger areas more easily. The first layers consist of the base colour - the main colour that you see at first glance. Pressing hard won't speed the process - it will just make it more difficult. Apply the colours with medium pressure- bearing in mind several layers will follow to give the colours their richness, depth and consistency - so you want them to go on smoothly. It really doesn't matter where you start, though some people may choose to work their way outwards from the center. It's colouring time! I've started with the outline of the eye, eyelining it with the black, stroking it more often on the dark area and going over the lighter streaks gently. When you're satisfied with the sketch, get ready for the fun part. Most coloured pencils are fairly forgiving, but since we'll be doing some colour layering, erasing may not be as easy a task later on as at the beginning stages. Try to make all the corrections early in the process. ![]() However, I'd encourage experimenting with variations, and to rely on your own eyes, mind and instincts for your colour choices. Since I use Prismacolour pencils (with the exception of the naples yellow - by Derwent Studio) most of the time, I've tried to include their generic names to help a bit in the colour matching. Pick out the major portions of the eye, such as the iris, the pupil and the highlights, and mentally note or pick out the colours you think you will need. Careful observation is important, of course. When doing your drawing, it's a good idea to start off with a light pencil sketch. Let's use this cat's eye as our reference: With a bit of practice, you'll find that other animals' eyes will be easier also. This tutorial will not only show you how to render a cat's eye, but will also offer an alternative technique to coloured pencil layering. There you will find the useful tools that will be useful to you in your work.Rendering a cat's eye really isn't difficult at all, and can be very rewarding, like on those occasions when a family cat portrait calls for those bright, alert and expressive features that characterize your cat.

Pupils make black, and the glare is white. The same small circles draw the pupil below. ![]() Sketch out small mugs just above the pupil. Repeat the previous step, just draw the line on the bottom.ĭraw two arcs to get an oval with pointed edges.ĭraw the same for the second eye. Depict the outline of the lower eyelid. ![]()
