Mentalities like what you expressed, that people don't need to consider any outside advice and should just "do whatever they want", is exactly what can hold someone back and keep them in an amateur hole far longer than necessary.

If you actually take screenshots from anime shows for example and look at their eyes, they all follow these same basic rules. Anime artists still follow the same basic rules of art that apply everywhere else in life. Being an uneducated artist who only draws completely flat looking cartoons is not an "art style".

I got a book by George B Bridgeman on drawing anatomy and this is exactly how I learned to draw eyes. Unfortunately the book is incredibly technical and uses terms as if I would know what they are without any explanation. E.g it has muscle names, tendon names and writes about how these effect one another followed by two or four pages of sketches of the object. The sketches have 0 lines showing what is what except for a couple that shows the muscles in the arms/hands in particular.

Lucky. Mine would say you're drawing this today and walk out the room.

Another eye tip: Think of the iris as an inverted cone, The part facing away from the light should be lit and the part closer to the light should be dimly lit. Remember there is a clear layer over this area so eye highlights do not apply to the cone if that makes sense

Also, if you're coloring your art, remember that the sclera doesn't look completely white. It should be some shade of grey for a more realistic look.

I'm an artist and I didn't even know this ...spot on 👍 👌

This is something I learned earlier on drawing animals cats have that more prominent sphere that pulges out a bit more. I have also done dissection of actual eyes (the tampetum lucidum is actually really amazing with out it looks its shiny and kind of reminds me of the inside of a shell. Seeing it you really understand why certain animals eyes Glas as light reflects off their eyes). This is a great breakdown for those who haven't taken anatomy but want to learn the basics ^^

I'm so grateful for this. It can be difficult to watch the main video again and again.

pure white is ok for cartoon eyes, or a simplistic style. but even then a very slight off white is better

Just remember to observe. Some of these tips apply to a certain type of eye moreso than other types, so when you're drawing from reference, make mental notes about what you're seeing

One of my favorite ways of giving a little "omph" to the sclera is to make it an off-white color, usually a pale, lighter version of the subject's eye color (my style is a bit more stylized, so this wouldn't be a great tip for realism. For realism, I go with a "darker white" type of grey or a VERY pale yellow color).
