A Whole World of Light in One Eye
Creating a hyper-realistic eye with colored pencil is all about the tiny decisions: where a highlight stays untouched, how a shadow curves over the iris, and which lashes sharpen while others melt softly out of focus.

"Paco is an amazing teacher with a genuine interest in the student's learning process. He was very kind to set some time to answer my questions after the sessions. I also liked that he gave us time to do what he just explained. Thank you Paco!"

The techniques behind the realism...
See the Eye Before You Draw It
Learn to map the eye’s curves, folds, and reflections before the first layers go down. Paco shows you where to protect the brightest lights and how to establish a strong foundation without getting lost in every tiny mark.
Make the Iris Glow
Build those blues, greens, and golden flecks with delicate radial strokes and controlled layers. Discover how a deep pupil, soft eyelid shadow, and carefully placed reflections give the iris its color, roundness, and sparkle.
Bring the Whole Eye to Life
Layer warm and cool skin tones, give the “white” of the eye believable shape, and lift fine wrinkles and highlights with an electric eraser. Then draw lashes that curve, taper, and move in and out of focus like they do in real life.
