Drawing realistic eyes can be challenging, especially when trying to capture their natural asymmetry and depth. Instead of relying on traditional almond shapes, consider using the Rammon Bowl Method for a more nuanced approach. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use this technique and tips for enhancing your eye drawings.

The Rammon Bowl Method

Base Shape:

Start by drawing a parallelogram instead of the usual almond shape.

This form better represents the natural asymmetry of the eye.Within this parallelogram, sketch the basic shape of the eye using curved lines to create a more accurate contour.

Drawing the Iris:

Instead of a full circle, draw only half of the iris. A full circle can make your character look unnatural or “crazy.” Focus on a curved line that represents the top half of the iris.

Refining the Sketch:

Use a soft eraser to remove guidelines and refine the eye shape.

This technique helps in creating cleaner lines and preparing the sketch for coloring.Add details like the eyelid and eyebrow, ensuring the eyelashes curve downwards based on the eye's angle.
