Dynamic Eyes With Copic Sketch Markers

People tell me they love the way I color eyes. This video tutorial shows how to create vibrant, dynamic eyes which are full of life using Copic Sketch markers. To learn more about creating characters like these, also check out my Drawing a Manga Figure tutorial!

I use only the brush end of these dual-ended markers, to get a nice, gentle blend between multiple colors.

Here are the colors used in this tutorial. In order to keep your characters’ eyes unique, change up the actual colors!

For lavender-blue eyes:
BG01 Aqua Blue
BV02 Prune
B69 Stratospheric Blue
110 Special Black
N3 Neutral Grey No. 3

For green eyes:
BG05 Holiday Blue
G02 Spectrum Green
B69 Stratospheric Blue
110 Special Black
N3 Neutral Grey No. 3

For the finished faces skin tones:
E00 Skin White
E02 Fruit Pink
E34 Orientale
R43 Bougainvillaea
