STEP 1

Be sure that you have the following plug-ins (effects).  They are available on our course website in the Plug-ins section.

 

Ready to go?  Let’s have some fun!

 

STEP 2

Start with a blank canvas that is 800x600. 

 

If you need to change your canvas size, use Image > Canvas Size.

STEP 3
Set the Secondary colour’s Alpha to 0.  An alpha value of 0 means that the secondary colour is fully transparent.


STEP 4

Set the Primary colour to black.

STEP 5

Use the gradient tool create the gradient seen below.  To do this, you must do the following:

 

1-Select the gradient tool on the left.

2-Click where the top dot is located and hold.

3-Drag downwards amount 2 millimeters and release.

 

Note: Hold the Shift key when using Gradient so you get a nice Horizontal gradient!!


Note2: Don't forget to use the Enter key  to end the gradient session. So when you select the next color, you gradient color won't change with it.

STEP 6

Change 1st color to the eye color you want.  (Yellow is used in tutorial.)

STEP 7

Apply the gradient tool as shown below.  Again, click where the top dot is and drag to where the bottom dot is located.

 

You will notice that the black colour is still visible below.  This is because the secondary colour is set to transparent (alpha of 0).

STEP 8

Change primary color to black again and use Gradient Tool as shown below.

STEP 9

Add new layer.

 

STEP 10
On the top layer, use the Gradient Bars effect with the following settings

 

(Top, S=20, S=0)

 

Things should look like this:


Image

STEP 11

Use Panelling with the following settings: (V=-22, H=0, S=1)

 

STEP 12

Apply a Gaussian Blur effect with the following setting: (P=2)

STEP 13

Flatten image.  This means that you need to merge all layers into one using Merge layer down.


Image

STEP 14

Use the Shape3D effect.  The image below shows the suggested settings.  Feel free to explore with different settings.

STEP 15
Add new layer. 

STEP 16
Change primary colour to white and use :RadialGradient: (option in Gradient tool) as in image below.

A FEW MORE EXAMPLES

POSSIBLE ADDITION


Very simple steps the get the Slit pupil that everyone is asking about.
After you finished drawing the eye.
Add new layer. Draw a triangle like image below. (onlt need to draw on 1 side)
Then Dup layer, goto Layers--->Flip horizontal, then merge layer down.
You should have something like image below.
Image

Use Shape3D (full sphere map)
And you will see the slit pupil already there, (assuming you still have the setting from when you made the eye)
You will need to adjust the X-axis maybe a little of the Y-axis to Fit the pupil onto the eye.

Done :)
