This should become the brightest element in the eye. This reflection is further enhanced by its contrast with the pupil - the darkest element in the eye. 2 - The iris contains a variety of tones and flecks which radiate to the centre of the pupil. It is usually darker around its outside edge and lightens towards its centre creating a translucent effect. Step 3 - The Eye Socket The final step is to render the solidity of the eye socket and surrounding area using graduated tone. The upper eyelid casts a shadow which forms a dark curve across the top of the eyeball. This gradually softens into the shaded areas at each corner of the eye.
