Quick tutorial I made on how I color eyes these days. People seemed to like my page of eyes, and I liked drawing 'em, so I thought why not make a tutorial. The result is a bit different than the method I used for those eyes, but the method is generally the same, just different tools and layer order. All of the layers on this, except the first color layer, are on top of the layer stack. This makes an interesting balance between the lineart and the color, I think. As well as stylized and realistic.
Mainly for SAI, but can be used in Photoshop as well, just exchange the Luminosity layer for Screen or Color Dodge.
Someday I may go back and put text in place of my shitty handwriting....
Feel free to let me know if it's helpful, or if you have questions.
And I'm kinda working on other tutorials, so if you have a request for that lemme know. :3

umm like how do you know which part of the eye to add the highlight so it'd be natural? D:

Well just keep in mind that the highlights are just reflections of the light that's in the subject's environment. Also remember that the eye is a sphere, so as it curves into the socket, it's going to get less light. So the highlights should usually be toward the center of the eye.
