No.20 【瞳孔合集 Eyes】

(Click the image to see the original image)
日本动画/插画/漫画界瞳孔的画法一直是个亮点,每个画师几乎都有自己原创的瞳孔画法,每个公司几乎都有自己标志性的瞳孔层次。我一直也很喜欢研究不同画师/公司的瞳孔画法,所以借此机会也搞了个看眼睛猜人物的小活动。其实瞳孔的精髓还是层次和明暗变化,很少有见到一个瞳孔多个色系还非常成功的人设,因为看起来很奇怪就是了,所以就算把瞳孔变成黑白的,其中的精髓还是不会褪色。动画的瞳孔一般比较简单,除了一些特写,比如上边有画到黑岩射手的瞳孔,插画的瞳孔一般会变化很多。相比来讲我自己还是更能控制类似于key社人设的瞳孔画法即上中暗,下边半环形亮光,左上小高光右侧大高光,左下右下长水滴形浅高光。说白了就是clannad的瞳孔画法。
自己画过最复杂的瞳孔特写还是这张图

Eyes are the flashing points of Japanese anime/manga/E-painting. Different illustrators and companies have their exclusive ways of drawing eyes. I find it interested to explore and learn different ways of drawing eyes, so I drew only the eye parts of all characters. Later I found that I could make it a game to let others guess which characters are the owner of these eyes painted in gray scale. Since the layers/shading/lighting is the crucial part of drawing eyes (colors doesn't really matter), this was a pretty fun game. I made it a bit eaiser by including the facial details and hairs.
Till now, this is the most complex eyes I've ever painted
