In this video, I’ll guide you through the process of drawing cartoon eyes and how to bring character and emotion into them using simple shapes and lines.
You’ll learn how to create different expressions just by adjusting the eyebrows and the shape of the eyes. For instance, did you know that a simple arc can convey surprise while a reversed arc can express worry? It’s fascinating how much emotion can be captured with just a few lines!
We’ll explore various expressions, from bored to sad, and even confused looks.
