History Main / SkintoneSclerae

* The asian characters from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong''.

* The ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' animated adaptations produced by Creator/{{Filmation}} (another company that, like Hanna-Barbara, utilized low budgets for their shows), including ''WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies''.

* The characters in ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown''.

Compare BlackBeadEyes -- you could alternately describe this trope as BlackBeadEyes but with a small line to indicate the upper eyelid, sometimes eyebrows, and no more detail than that.

* ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}'':

* Everyone in ''WesternAnimation/MikeTysonMysteries'' has these to parody the artstyle of the original ''Scooby-Doo''.

* Krillin and Yajirobe of ''Manga/DragonBall'' (them having this is, [[ActorAllusion along with their Japanese voice actors]], in common leads to Goku comparing them when he meets Yajirobe), as well as many of the {{Funny Animal}}s like Puar. Averted in the video games.

* Tsubasa Yuuki from ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum'', since unlike all the other characters she looks like she stepped straight out of a Shojo manga from the 70s, a reference to her career as a {{Takarazuka}} [[{{Bifauxnen}} otokoyaku]].

* In ''Disney/TheRescuers'', the mouse characters have sclerae the same color as their fur, to give the illusion of having the black eyes of real mice without sacrificing the expressiveness of traditional CartoonyEyes, though there were a few exceptions where the mice had filled in eyes, either [[OffModel by accident]] or because [[FireBreathingDiner they just had some strong moonshine]] that caused their eyes to flash red and blue for a few seconds. Seeing this trope as laziness was the last straw for Creator/DonBluth, motivating him to quit working at Disney. [[ArtEvolution Averted in the sequel]].
* The characters in the Disney ''[[Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie-the-Pooh]]'' films have button eyes, occasionally drawn with eyelids but no sclerae for the sake of an expression. This is justified in the case of the stuffed characters, but the same style was used on Christopher Robin as well, perhaps to match the simple pen-and-ink illustrations of the original books.[[note]]However, he did have white sclerae in the 2011 movie, which turned him into a cute boy of sorts.[[/note]]

* The first MonsterOfTheWeek in ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'', Chiku Kazutake, has those.
