Step 9: Inside the head, lightly sketch a small circle for the eye. Use the lines as guides for placement. When you get the size and placement of the eye right, darken the lines. Draw a small triangle- like shape on either side of the circle and shade it in for the corners of the eye.

Inside the eye, off to the side, draw a tiny circle to represent glare. In the middle, add a dot for the pupil. Draw a couple of curved lines around the eye for bare skin that surrounds it. Add a few quick, short strokes on the left side to represent the texture of the feathers.
