Such pupils allow for accurately judging the distance to the prey. For example, the pupils of a Cuttlefish resemble the letter “W” and dolphins have pupils shaped like crescents.Īnimals with vertical pupils are most likely ambush predators. Of course, there are exceptions and not all animal eyes will fall into one category.
There are three most common shapes of pupils: The shape of the pupil is closely related to the animal’s size and whether it is a predator or prey. This helps the animal see predators approaching from the side or from behind. This kind of placement allows for greater peripheral or side vision. If eyes are located on the side of the head, it may be the sign of a prey animal. Such eyes allow for better judging of depth, which helps to track and pursue prey. Larger eyes have evolved to allow the animal to see better at night.Įyes that face forward on a skull suggest that the animal is a predator. Usually, this is true for creatures that are active at night. The eye sockets of some animals are quite large in comparison with the size of the skull. The eyes are located on the head of an animal, and the specifics of the anatomy of the head greatly influences the appearance of the eye. When it comes to drawing a small part of a complex object, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. Compare the size of the eye with the size of the head. Let’s take a quick look at several aspects to consider when drawing animal eyes. But keep in mind – the larger your drawing, the more details you can add to it.
Each drawing is small, only about 6×7 cm, so all five of them can easily fit onto a single sheet of drawing paper. A 0.05 and 0.1 ink liners are used to complete the drawings and develop the texture and value. I’ll be using an HB pencil and an eraser to create underdrawings.
#Realistic skull with eyeballs drawings series
If this subject inspires you, feel free to continue the series and make it your own art challenge as well. We’ll draw five examples of eyes together. These drawings are just a starting point since there is so much diversity out there pertaining to this subject. I’ve decided to create my own little art challenge, exploring the subject of animal eyes with pen and ink. How many drawings should be in the complete series?.What art medium is optimal for your challenge?.What are you going to draw – what’s the subject?.What’s your goal or desired outcome of this challenge?.Here are several questions to ask yourself when planning your own art challenge… But an art or drawing challenge can be individual endeavor as well – centered around specific medium or subject – or better yet – a specific subject AND medium.Īnyone can create a plan for an individual art challenge. Art challenges encourage us to focus our attention on a particular topic or medium. This kind of activity usually requires a commitment to complete some sort of work over a specific period, often with some level of regularity. They may be conducted in a particular month, prompting people all over the world to draw and share their creations. You’re probably familiar with at least several art challenges out there that people have devised. Each set of eyes is extremely different from the rest making this a wonderful drawing challenge. In this pen and ink lesson, we’ll take a look at drawing several different animal eyes.
