- which little circles with a small curved tail. Make sure they are smaller than the pupil, and evenly space them on the middle circle. The number of tomoe in the Sharingan indicates how powerful it is, with the most powerful having three tomoe.

Question

How do I know when a marker or felt pen is good for my work?

CasMangaArt

Community Answer

Make sure the marker/felt pen does not create a messy or streaky texture when you use it. If it does, it might ruin your drawing.

Question

Do I fill in the iris?

Community Answer

Fill it in. Without filling it in, it would look like contact lenses.
