How to paint dogs – The eyes part 2

[EN]

This is the second part of several posts about how I paint dogs.

We already know all the parts of the eyes and helpless tips. Now it is time to get down to work. Link to the Part 1

Step by step

I started painting the dark parts. These parts usually are the eyelid, the exterior part of the iris, and the pupil.

Then paint the sclera and the lacrimal. May appear white, but the sclera has a pink hue.

The iris is complex and has texture and subtle color changes. Don’t paint the iris with a flat color.

Work the highlights. Typically you will find them in the conjunctiva, the lacrimal, and the pupil.

I paint the fur around the eye. Always follow the direction in that hair grows.

I hope I have helped you. Share your questions and your paintings with me!

See you next time!

Este post es la segunda parte de varios sobre como pintar perros. Ya sabemos las partes del ojo y varios tips a tener en cuenta. Ahora es tiempo de ponerse manos a la obra. Link a la Parte 1

Paso a paso

Comienzo pintando las partes oscuras. Normalmente son la línea del párpado, la parte exterior del iris y la pupila.

Luego pinto la esclera y el lagrimal, con esto le damos forma al ojo.

Sigo con el iris. El iris es complejo y tiene textura y cambios sutiles de color. Es importante no pintarlo plano para generar la forma redonda del ojo.
