The legendary eyes in the anime are not only stunning, but also difficult to guess who they are.

Is this still an eye?

The facial features of the two-dimensional element seem to be very simple when you learn to paint, especially when you start from the stickman level creation, the facial features are just a few points, and there is no hair. But when I was getting better, I suddenly discovered that the original two-dimensional element is not simple. Let's not talk about the hair, but the eyes in the five senses, which is a university question.

I wrote an article about how to draw tears, , which introduces many steps and techniques, and the drawing method of eyes is more knowledgeable. Because the eyes in anime are not simple under normal circumstances, once you have to give close-up shots, it will become quite complicated. As the saying goes, "the eyes are the windows of the soul", this sentence can be said to be vividly expressed in the second dimension.

In anime, the eyes can not only reflect the inner world of the characters, but even more like a player, directly showing all kinds of things to the audience in the form of slides. And not only that, the eyes can also reflect the entire world. For example, the reflection of a character everywhere, the streets you see, or even the composition of magic in the entire world, and so on.

The complexity of the eyes

Animation likes to make a fuss on the eyes, Any animation that is a little bit magical, there will be close-up shots of the eyes controlling the magic . Not to mention the type with special pupil skills like Naruto. The deep impression left by the eyes also includes characters, such as those very memorable characters, whose facial features are largely dependent on the eyes.

Previously, I wrote an article about guessing anime characters by looking at the eyes. It was full of passionate characters with hair and other facial features. It must be easy to guess. And this time, apart from the hair, probably only the details in the eyes can be used to guess what animation it is. After all, it’s hard to guess by just looking at the eyes. The eyebrows are hardly recognizable. However, there are still “sub-questions”, such as Hatsune Miku. Others are not so easy to guess. Even with a wealth of experience in watching animation, There is also a high probability that you will not remember which animation these close-ups occurred in.

Especially the instant noodles "ONE ROOM", which is the first person to be the protagonist, relies on this lens to enhance the audience's sense of substitution. After all, it’s easy to play when the male protagonist’s dialogue is completely supplemented by the audience’s brains, but it’s not the same with a gaze. Strong9strong seems like a girl on the other side of the screen is really in love with him, and Keep watching yourself . The sense of presence created in this way is full, and there is a feeling that people can't distinguish between reality and virtual.

The reason for this illusion is precisely because of the charm of the eyes, directly hitting the hearts of the audience, giving people a feeling of heartbeat. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to watch it with great enthusiasm. When you are immersed in the plot, you suddenly have a look, and your heart will be turbulent. That is the feeling of heartbeat.
