Learn how to draw a realistic eye using easy step-by-step instructions and CHEAP supplies. This is a simplified version of my previous eye drawing tutorial, but for a male eye. In this video, I start with a trapezoid shape to make the construction process painless. I talk about where/how to tweak your eye to make it appear more masculine.
