Open up some of the ones that are in the library and study them.

(It's not the only way... but it exposes you to neat stuff!)

...but you can find LOTS of tutes if you just search in youtube. (include the words "anime studio".)

Making an eye tutorial.

Fulkster is absolutely right. As with any anything in art or creating anything, there are several ways to go about making something. You should defiantly take sbtamu's advice and study other style's and ways of creating eyes. I've always found it extremely helpful to study other peoples work to and eventually making up the most comfortable way to create things in my own way! If you liked the tutorial I made, you can also watch this one as well. It's the same tutorial but with audio commentary to let you know what I'm doing step by step.

Again, I advise you, like the other guys said, check out other peoples work on the forum and youtube to really help you get started!!! :)

an eye is anything from a line with a three points to ... something more complicated. depends on the character / style / ...

What sometimes feels like 200 years later I'm still learning to draw (and animate!) and still haven't really found "my" style .. I swing from minimalist to over complex (and not very good) atttempts at "photographic" quality and back again. I keep trying to remind myself that this is "2d cartoon" not 3d live action cinema and that I'm a micro-organisation not Pixar - and then I remember the pixar lamp and the expression that the animators got from that inanimate object ... and then I think that perhaps I should focus on better animation rather than better drawing...

but to agree completely with guyver93 ... ultimately it's YOUR art - enjoy what you do while you're doing it. then look back at it 200 years later and see how far you've come on... my early stuff makes me cringe now... as, in a while, will the stuff I do now ... but right now it's OK for me and my audience.... it's a bit like watching a child learn to read - one day they can't tell b and d apart - the next they're reading and spelling words you never even knew were in the dictionary....
