Most tutorials on painting realistic eyes only focus on how to paint just one eye on its own, but painting one is actually quite straightforward compared to painting both eyes together. By far the most challenging thing to do when painting the eyes, is making sure both eyes are alligned correctly with each other. Not only is it really easy to make the eyes crooked, but there are some other really common art mistakes to avoid. You can also paint the eyes too far apart, too close together, or you can make one eye bigger than the other.

In this portrait painting demonstration, Alex will be showing you how to paint both eyes together and he will be sharing with you the techniques he uses and the artistic anatomy he checks, to help him avoid making these really common art mistakes
