How to Draw Kawaii Eyes

When you begin your drawing, it’s helpful to start with basic lines and shapes. This approach sets a strong foundation for your artwork. As you work through the lesson, pay close attention to how the sizes of the shapes relate to one another. This will help your drawing look balanced and fun! Remember, coloring is something we can save for later, allowing you to focus on getting the shapes just right first. So grab your drawing tools and let’s have some fun creating those adorable kawaii eyes!

Time Needed: 45 minutes

1. Draw the Head

   

   Begin by outlining an oval-shaped head as the base for the kawaii face.

2. Add the Eyelids

   

   Now, draw thin, curved lines for the eyelids.

3. Attach the Eyelashes

   

   Near the outer corners of the eyelids, add a few short, curved lines to form the eyelashes.

4. Outline the Eyes

   

   Below the eyelids, draw large circular shapes to outline the eyes.

5. Draw the Glossy Effect

   

   Draw ovals to add the shiny gloss and give the eyes a cuter, more expressive look.

6. Add the Eyebrows

   

   Add a pair of eyebrows above the eyes.

7. Outline the Mouth

   

   Create a curved line to form a smiling mouth.

8. Draw the Blushing Cheeks

   

   Draw circles to add the blushing effect on the cheeks.

9. Color the Kawaii Eyes Drawing

   

   First, use black for the eyelids and eyelashes. Fill in the eyes with black, and use white and blue for the shiny gloss. Shade the area around the eyes white. Then, color the eyebrows brown. Finally, use a light peach tone for the skin and orange for the cheeks.
