Watch How to Draw Cartoon Eyes

Angry Eyes

  1. Firstly, draw two slim fish bodies clearly facing each other (no tails)
  2. After that make 2 slanted eyebrows.. Check marks also facing each other, small ends (refer to illustration) right over each eye.
  3. Lastly draw a small angry looking pupil on the bottom inside of each eye. Now that was easy wasn’t it?

Suspicious Eyes

  1. To begin, draw 2 circles the same size next to each other.
  2. Not only do you make one line starting at the far side, at the bottom sloping upwards on circle, you continue the line upward on the 2nd eye towards the top.
  3. You could definitely slide down the slope of these 2 sloping eyelids. Make some eyelashes extending from the eyelids if desired.
  4. Above the more open eye make a check mark looking line which represents one of the suspicious looking eyes.
  5. The 2nd eye can have a regular curved eyebrow.
  6. Indeed you’ll want the small pupils both looking sideways towards the corner of the nearly closed eye.

Happy Eyes

  1. Indeed if you want to draw easy animated eyes for animals or people you can! Follow these instructions. Start with 2 upside down U’s or two bumps.
  2. Join each upside down U at the bottom connecting the ends. It’s especially important to curve the line slightly downward to show that a smile is below, suggesting smiling cheeks under the happy cartoon eyes!
  3. At this time add eyelashes. Start at the line you will make just below the top of the eyes, maybe ¼ the way down. 3 or 4 lashes may be enough. Make sure to curve them.
  4. Fourthly, make some easy cartoon pupils by drawing a bump on each larger bump at bottom of the happy eye (see illustration).
  5. Finally draw some happy bow shaped eyebrows above the happy cartoon eyes.

Sad Eyes

  1. To begin drawing your easy sad cartoon eyes, draw 2 little fish staring at each other (no tails) Notice illustration.
  2. Secondly draw in some pupils looking downward.
  3. Thirdly, draw curving lines sloping downward above sad looking eyes.
  4. Finally add some eyebrows also sloping down following slope of eyes.

Surprised Eyes

  1. At this time make 2 egg shapes next to each other. Put the small end of the egg at the top.
  2. Secondly draw a line across the small end at the top of the egg shaped eye.
  3. To continue draw a few eyelashes curved upwards from that line if desired.
  4. Also make a small pupil right in the center of this easy animated surprised eye.
  5. Finally make some eyebrows over each eye slanting down from the middle. There you go, a simple surprised cartoon eye!

Scared Eyes

  1. Start by drawing two circles or ovals.
  2. Add some eyelids by drawing an arched line from one side of the circle to the other side (draw the eyelids closer to the top of the circle) Add lines going outwards for eye lashes 
  3. Draw a smaller circle inside each of the eyes, these will be the pupils. They’re looking to the side because something’s over there.
  4. Lastly, add two more arched lines above the eyes for scared eyebrows.

Sleepy Eyes

  1. Draw two big upside down U’s. Add an arched line at the bottom of each U to connect each eye.
  2. Add another arched line right above the line you just drew. This will be a sleepy looking eyelid.
  3. Draw some curved lines from the eyelid to make some eye lashes (you only need 3 or 4 lines)
  4. We’ll need to some pupils. All you need to do is draw a half circle on the bottom of each eyelid.
  5. Finally, add some eyebrows by drawing two arched lines above each of the eyelids… Yawn…
