I've been experimenting with Photoshop and I just can't get the eyes to look like they have life! They're always super dull, and make the character look dead...
any suggestions? :S

too sharp of an eye element makes it dull, so try adding some slight blur and soft light layer....
or you can add highlight by adding a black layer, set to 'Color dodge' and put a small flare on it... :)
hope it helpsFor HQ anime pieces of art

<lol> I'm the opposite to Korg. XD I like eyes to have sharp elements - high contrast between colours, obvious areas of shadow and highlighted. Solid white highlights. *shrugs* Each to their own. :) Experiment to see what suits your style best.

i use ordinary brush on adobe then i choose white as foreground color and adjust the brush settings to hard light, also try changing the brush intensity to make it look 3D....
does that make any sense?

A lot of people forget to shade the white areas of the eyes as well (me too, actually). If you do it right (like I canNOT), it really helps the eyes look less flat.

At most of the anime like eyes you need to deal with reflex lights and intense colors. In my research I observed that most of the eyes have 5 color (main color light/dark, black, white and the shade color of the eye). It is good tactic to make a gradient with the two main color on the iris. The reflex lights are tricky, over using them is needed in special situations (eg. cry), not using them will make an impression of flat/dead eye. My art teacher (uhh long time ago) used two tenis ball with a dot on them to represented how eyes work when focusing close or far, and I can say this help a lot. You need to choice your chara focusing on YOU (so focusing close) or watching some other/far object, then you need to catch the right reflexes and position of the iris on the eyeball. ^_^

I guess everyone has their own preference... but ah well, I'm not a drawing artist =P so I agree with bucky about the shadows area and some shadings in the white parts... :)For HQ anime pieces of art

What do you mean? Anime eyes or real eyes? Close up or distant view? 8P I got a few tips and tutorials, but they are pretty specific.

my best advice is to simply study how the eyes look, especially the ones you like best. Then experiment with different tools to get the effect you want! ^_^
i can't give much more than that because I've only tried digital media eyes a few times. I usually just draw them by hand via natural media. ^_^
