Infographic Series - CREATE EYES

Here are a few ways to make a set of eyes. As always, super simple build in Illustrator and just a few quick steps to make these. 

---

Start with a cirlce, fill it with a color, no stroke. 

Duplicate the circle over the other circle, 1/2 way. 

Select both circles, then use the Intesect Shape Mode option in the Pathfinder Panel to just end up with the overlapping shapes.

Rotate the "eye" so that it is horizontal. 

---

Draw another circle in the center of the eye. Fill with white, black stoke of 4 pts. 

Draw another circle in the center, fill with black and no stroke. 

Draw another smaller circle on the outer path of the inner circle.

Select both the small circle and the inner circle and use the Minus Front Shape Mode in the Pathfinder Panel.

---

Add a stroke to the outer eye. 

Use the Width Shape Tool to pull the stroke wider on the left side of the eye.

Duplicate the eye and rotate just the blue portion to create a mirror image of the eye.
