The eyes are the most recognizable characteristic of a Chibi character. They are drawn very stylistically with oversized highlights. They can be drawn a number of different ways — from very simplified to very detailed. Today we'll draw eyes partway between simplified and detailed.
With the Ellipse tool, draw an oval for the colored part of the eye. Use any eye color of your choice (medium shade) and a very dark version of same color for the iris outline. Outline stroke width is 2 or 3.
Zoom in close for the next steps and refer to the image above for each step.
Position this colored iris along left side of white oval. Our elf is looking to the left, so only a small bit of white will show on the right side of each eye or at bottom. Click Apply.
With Ellipse tool, draw a black oval for the pupil of the eye. This should be a very large pupil. Position pupil near center of colored part of eye. Click Apply.
