Psychologists suggest that learning new things can not only bring you lots of positive emotions but also improve your cognitive abilities and even slow down the development of different mental diseases. You can learn a new recipe or dance moves. There are so many other things you can learn, like taking piano courses or simply learn how to draw. As for the latter, drawing is especially great for introverts and people who don’t have a lot of spare time. And today we want to teach you how to draw one specific thing – the eyebrows. And probably a bonus one.

How to draw eyelashes (bonus)

Every woman knows how important good-looking eyelashes are. Although they constitute only a small part of the eye, they emphasize the shape of the eye and make it look truly feminine. Assuming you’ve already drawn the eye, check out how to draw the eyelashes.

First, draw the presumable thickness of the upper eyelid.
Start shadowlining the eyelashes from the base of the eye. The eyelashes have different thickness, meaning each one is thicker at the bottom. They should be relatively thinner at the tips. You can get the effect by starting firmly with the pencil and then gradually lowering the pressure.
Now draw the thickness of the lower eyelid. It should be pretty much the same as the upper one.
Shadowline the lower eyelashes. Typically, they are lighter and shorter. They are also rather sparse.
