MALE vs. FEMALE EYES.
The male eye is narrower and more rectangular, whereas the female eye is more tear shaped. Draw the male upper eyelid with a heavy line but the lower eyelid with a thin one. Both eyelids on the female eye are drawn with heavy lines. It's sometimes thought - erroneously - that thick eyebrows are only for men. But fuller eyebrows are great for drawing attractive women, too. Some famous models, such as Cindy Crawford and Brooke Shields, have fuller eyebrows, which draw attention to the eyes and can underscore a sultry look. Pencil - thin eyebrows have little impact.
IMPORTANT EYE TIP.
Whether you're drawing men's eyes or women's eyes, the top eyelid should touch or cover part of the iris. Don't leave any white space between the upper eyelid and the iris - unless it's for a specific expression, such as shock or surprise.
FEMALE LASH CONSTRUCTION.
Women's eyelashes are grouped together in a thick line, if you draw each individual lash, the result will look spidery.
