I found a great tutorial today on Only Pencil by artist Lisandro Pena on drawing a realistic eye. The human eye can be a very difficult thing for many beginners to draw. Lisandro explains in the tutorial the importance of studying the eye, or any object you want to draw for that matter, so that you really understand what it is you are drawing.
He provides the tools he uses as well as a step by step lesson with pictures. He has a lot of other great drawing tutorials on his website as well. This is definitely a great resource for drawing enthusiasts.

Thank you so much! brilliant. What I have been looking for for years. I don’t really want to practise “by prescription” but it is a very good exercise in discipline as well as learning a skill from which I can then spring to my own method and style.

Thats a very good tutorial indeed. Especially the part where the inside shadows of the eye are covered. I personally use a different technique to do the eyes, but basics are the same.. Good tutorial.
