Illustrator Tutorials – Creating eyes and eyebrows

In this tutorial on Illustrator I practiced creating eyes and eyebrows. This is something that I have learnt to do before however I also felt  I needed practice on it. To create the eyes I used the pen tool to draw around the lining of the eyelids. I then filled this in black which then created the eyeliner. To create the eyelashes I simply used the pen tool to complete a stroke along one eyelash. I adjusted the line style so that it was thicker and so the line ended in a point. To duplicate the lashes I held down the alt key and clicked and dragged. I repeated this until the lashes were all filled in. To create the white of the eye I drew in the shape and filled the shape in white. I then moved the layer behind the eyeliner and lashes to make it look more realistic. To create the centre of the eye I simply used the shape tool to draw in the circles. To create the eyebrows I Simply drew a curved line along the shape of the eyebrows and adjusted the line thickness and shape, so that it ended in a round and a point.
