Designing eyes in Illustrator

OK, so you’ve probably seen better line drawings but look at the eyes! One of the best ways to do eyes in illustrations is a simple black circle for the pupil and a smaller white one for the light reflection. Keep the smaller white circle in the “northwest” or “northeast” corner of the black circle and make sure it’s in the same place for all the other eyes in the same illustration. Most importantly, get it so that the white and black circles just touch each other which creates a lovely crescent shape of black that gives a beautiful “window to the soul”.
