Tutorial in Advanced, Drawing, Effects, Goodies
There are hundreds of tutorials showing you how to create human eyes over the Internet and, to tell you the truth, I’m tired of seeing them. Today, I bring you this tutorial, which will show you how to create an animal eye. This will be the eye that is commonly found in reptiles, such as snakes, frogs, birds, and so on. I hope you like it.
Open a new document, 400×300px, and white background.
Create a ((New Layer)).
With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) and Alt + Shift (so that it grows proportionally from the center), create a circular selection.
Fill it in with #9a6a35.
With the selection still active, go to ((Filter))-((Noise))-((Add Noise)).
Don’t deselect yet.
Go to ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Radial Blur)).
With the eye selection active, create a ((New Layer)).
