History Main / BlackBeadEyes

* Emiri Uchi and Hikari Itou from ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular'' have eyes with no outline (vertical slits for the former, circles for the latter), which no other characters have. It has earned Uchi the nickname "Emoji" from Tomoko.

** A good variety Pokémon have black dots for eyes. Most notably Ditto, where in most later Pokémon media [[MorphicResonance keeps this feature]] when transforming into other Pokémon.

[[folder:Music]]
* 2-D From Music/{{Gorillaz}} has these because his eyeballs are fractured.

* ''Literature/StickDog'': Most humans in the books re drawn with little black dog eyes.

%%* ''Manga/HaruhiChan'' and ''~Nyoron Churuya-Chan'' have Mikuru and Ashakura, and Churuya, respectively.

* Emiri Uchi and Hikari Itou from ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular'' have eyes with no outline (vertical slits for the former, circles for the latter), which no other characters have. It has earned Uchi the nickname "Emoji" from Tomoko.
* In the 1986 anime ''Anime/MapleTown''. Most of the [[FunnyAnimals anthropomorphic animal characters]] are [[https://poopmobileclub.webcindario.com/mapletownmonogatari.jpg depicted with black eyes]]. The only character in the series who is given pupils is a wolf who is the main antagonist of the show. He tries to kidnap Patty and the other young animals.

* Despite the [[ArtEvolution more realistic art]] in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun'', the [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals race attendants]] and [[FightingSpirit Tusk]] [[MagikarpPower Act 1]] have black dot eyes.
* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' has a plethora of unique eye designs (and in turn, creates a CastOfSnowflakes), but characters will often be depicted with beady dot eyes during various comedic [[TheTake takes]]. However, Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho (servants of the Butterfly Estate) genuinely have these type of eyes by default.
* Mayne, [[WrenchWench assistant engineer]] for the ship ''Quin Zaza'' in ''Manga/DriftingDragons'' is unique for having these. This makes her easy to spot, [[CastOfSnowflakes even in crowds]].
* In the 1977 comic adaptation of ''Chirin no Suzu'' (''Chirin's Bell''), Chirin (as a lamb) [[https://puterboy1.tumblr.com/post/185301307681/guess-what-just-came-in-the-mail-today-sanrios and the other sheep]] [[https://puterboy1.tumblr.com/post/185301358716/part-two-of-the-chirin-no-suzu-lyrica-adaptation are depicted with black dot eyes.]] [[Anime/RingingBell Unlike the 1978 film adaptation]], and original book where Chirin and the sheep have pupils. For the 1978 film adaptation, some of the lambs and a few grown sheep are depicted with beady eyes while the majority are depicted with pupils.
* ''Manga/LeaveItToPet'': Noboru and Pet have their eyes drawn in this manner. They seem to be the only characters that do, though.

* ''ComicStrip/NittioettanKarlsson'': when Rudolf Petersson started drawing the series he used these for all characters, only drawing their sclera if the character was sufficiently surprised. In the strips drawn by latter artists, some parts of the cast (including the titular 91 and Elvira) still get depicted with black bead eyes [[https://seriewikin.serieframjandet.se/images/c/c9/Jonny_Nordlund.png regardless of whether the rest of the cast has detailed eyes or not.]]
* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', which did [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this trope [[https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1963/07/18 back in the 60's]]. Lucy actually averted this in [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness her early appearances]] (her debut appearance is [[https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1952/03/03 here]]); Schulz eventually dropped the look because he was never satisfied with it.

%%* Akbar and Jeff in ''ComicStrip/LifeinHell''
* All of the characters in ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus'' are drawn with black dots for eyes (unless they're wearing glasses).
* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zags this]]. Characters usually have black dot eyes but their eyes get bigger and [[SuddenAnatomy have visible sclera]] when surprised, angry, etc.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Cathy}}''. Played with in that the title character is the only one who ''doesn't'' have them.
* {{Zigzagged}} in ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}''; most non-bespectacled characters have black dots for eyes, though, as in ''Calvin and Hobbes'', their sclerae occasionally become visible, usually to show surprise, disgust, or rage.
* Some characters in ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' have black dots for eyes, including the main characters, though their eyes often change to SphereEyes in order to show emotion.

* The {{Zigzagging}} continues in ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'', where eyes visibly widen to show emotion.
%%* Most of the characters in ''ComicStrip/PoochCafe''

%%* Some ground lizards that are occasionally seen in ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' films have these.
* ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'': For some reason, Milo's cat, Fluffy, is actually drawn with these type of eyes when he appears at the start of the film, but when we see the same cat again at the end, he has the eyes of an actual cat!
* ''WesternAnimation/GlobehuntersAnAroundTheWorldInEightyDaysAdventure'': Some of the cast, such as the seals, a monkey, and Eddie have little black dot eyes.
* Many characters from ''Franchise/ToyStory'' have black dots for eyes. {{Justified}}, since they are toys and those often have simplistic designs. Hamm the piggy bank is the only one of the six original main characters that is an example.
* Peach the starfish and the seagulls from ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' have eyes like these.
* One of Ms. Nesbitt's students from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' (a blue sluglike monster who bites Mike Wazowski in the arm) sports eyes of this type.

%%* The main character and the other ducklings in ''WesternAnimation/TheFirstSnowOfWinter''.
* When Elinor from ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' starts losing her humanity while [[ForcedTransformation transformed into a bear]] her eyes change from humanoid to black and beady.

* Illustrator Nick Sharratt, well known for illustrating most of Creator/JacquelineWilson's books, draws his characters with black dot eyes.
* Creator/TomieDePaola frequently drew his characters with dots for eyes, wit the most well-known examples including ''Bill and Peet'' and ''Literature/StregaNona''.

%%* Bear, Ojo, and Pip and Pop in ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'', accounting for more than half the main characters (the other two, Tutter and Treelo, have regular eyes).
%%* The bunnies in Creator/JimHenson's ''The Tale of the Bunny Picnic'', most notably Bean Bunny, who went on to be part of the regular cast of Franchise/TheMuppets.

* In the early days of video games, this was largely the only way anyone could be portrayed as having eyes of any kind (outside of illustrations used in cutscenes and official artwork, etc.).

* ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'', A few characters (including Layton himself) have little black dot eyes.
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
%%** Mario, Luigi and the other characters (minus Bowser) are drawn with these in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMario''.
** The ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series uses black bead eyes for some supporting characters.
%%** Bowser Jr, the Toads, Boos, Piantas, Nokis, Lumas, Wigglers, etc.
** Within the prequel Yoshi series Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Baby Bowser all three have these, despite being well-known depicted with sclerae as adults.
** Sledge Bros, a recurring enemy, have small beady eyes to emphasize their heavy frame.
* Black dot eyes are in all of the ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}'' series games, but it's a more obvious stylistic choice in ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' and ''VideoGame/MOTHER3''. This also carries over when characters from the games appear in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''.
* The characters in ''VideoGame/{{Oddity}}'' has black bead eyes as well, in lieu of the ''MOTHER'' series. Originally this was because ''Oddity'' started life as a FanSequel ''MOTHER 4'', [[OriginalFlavour and tried to stay true to the spirit of the series as closely as possible]], but well...[[SerialNumbersFiledOff not wanting the game to face]] [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal issues]] [[SerialNumbersFiledOff happened]].
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''
** A good variety Pokémon have black dots for eyes. Most notably Ditto, where in most later Pokémon media [[MorphicResonance keeps this feature]] when transforming into other Pokémon.
** Up until Generation II, a lot of humans had a style similar to this. It took a while for the other adaptations to catch up, but Sophocles from ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' stands out the most as most characters have normal eyes with scalerae.
* ''VideoGame/{{Pylons}}'': [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by the game's nature as a {{Retraux}} game. Most of the characters in the game have little black bead eyes. One exception is the [[spoiler:possessed construction workers]].
* ''VideoGame/KeepOut'': [[PlayerCharacter Mr. M]] has black bead eyes. You can see this when you get a close up of him.
* Many ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' characters have this style of eyes in keeping with their simple, cartoony designs.
* ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'': The Prince and his many, many cousins have black dot eyes to go with the simplistic artstyle of the series.
* Peacock of ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' is the ''only'' character in the game to have black dot eyes, as she is a parody of almost every old cartoon trope in existence. [[spoiler: Though in reality, they're not eyes: they're her [[EyeScream empty eye sockets]], and her real "eyes" are the six metal [[MeaningfulName peacock-feather-shaped ones]] on her [[ArtificialLimbs prosthetic arms]] that also shoot [[EyeBeams lasers]]]].
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'':
** All the livestock in many of the games, as well as the overworld sprites of characters.
** The artwork for ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon64'' has the characters with this style, mixed with SuperDeformed, probably to match the previous games' style. In-game artwork is more detailed though.
* The first few eyes that your Sackboy gets in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'' are these. Justified in that his eyes really are only black beads or buttons. However, later on you get eyes that go beyond this, such as the cartoon eyes and the neon eyes.
%%* The Coconut Crew, a group of koala [=NPCs=] from ''VideoGame/SonicRush Adventure'', have these.
* Humans and once-humans in ''VideoGame/TheyBleedPixels'' have very large, oval-shaped black eyes, often with light shining off the center.

* Most characters created by Creator/EdmundMcMillen will have these.
** Isaac from ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' has these by default, though they may change into things like BlankWhiteEyes or [[RedEyesTakeWarning angry red eyes]] depending on the kinds of power-ups he acquires.
** The main character of ''VideoGame/TimeFcuk'' and Steven invert this, being pure black figures with white bead eyes.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Snapimals}}'', almost every character and animal has these, to fit the game's cutesy art style.
* Every bear except Astoria from ''VideoGame/BattleBears''.
* All the characters in ''VideoGame/DinoRun'' exhibit these, albeit coming in different colors.
%%* In ''VideoGame/DeltaRune'' Seam, the first shopkeeper you encounter, has this or his left eye.
%%* The titular characters Sam and Max from ''Franchise/SamAndMax''.
* In Compile-era ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' games, Carbuncle had black dot eyes. Sega-era games tend to give him tiny white pupils, with the exception of ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo7 7]]''.
* The Switch remake for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'' uses this style. Speaking that everyone and everything looks quite toyish, this was probably done to make the characters look like living Little People toys inhabiting the game's very toyish world, implying that it might be taking place in a world of LivingToys.

* ''VideoGame/MadAgeAndThisGuy'': The player character's eyes make up two black pixels. His bird's eye make up one black pixel.

* ''VideoGame/CastleInTheDarkness'': The [[PlayerCharacter knight]], as well as villager [=NPCs=] in the game, have their eyes made up of about 2-3 black pixels.

* The pigs in ''VideoGame/HayDay'' have these. Interestingly, no other character in the game does.
* ''VideoGame/Flea2020'': Pretty much the vast majority of the characters in the game have little black dot eyes.
* In ''VideoGame/EverybodyEdits'', most of the [[DigitalAvatar smileys]] have black lines for eyes. A few smileys' eyes are in different shapes or colors, however.

* Tom, from ''WebAnimation/{{Eddsworld}}'' has black dot eyes. At times it's suggested that he doesn't actually ''have'' eyes, just eye sockets.

* Joel from ''WebAnimation/BonusStage'' had these up until his final art design. The first few characters introduced (except Elly, who had EyeGlasses) also had black eyes, but of differing shapes.
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': From the main characters, there is Balloon, Duck, and Snake. Its worth noting all of them are kid characters.
* Object shows are quite fond of this trope; however, some newer ones do have characters with human-like eyes, especially those that feature algebraliens. A notable example is BFB - the fourth season of ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'' - whose host, Four, has more realistic eyes.

* In the ''[[WebAnimation/SockSeries Sock Serie]]'', The titular hamster Sock, the smoking demon and the humans have eyes like this. Sock's owner have similar eyes but are more line shaped. Gaeous the god of dirt appears to have these but close-ups shows that he have holes instead of eyes.

%%* ''Webcomic/{{Project0}}''
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', everyone has black dots for eyes which makes characters who have GlowingEyes stand out prominently.

* ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'': Everyone in ''Webcomic/{{Jailbreak}}'' and ''Webcomic/BardQuest'', almost everyone in ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'', and pretty much everyone except the trolls in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''([[ArtShift at least in the standard art style]]).
* ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'', with variants: Arthur's own eyes are heavily lidded; Nimue's have visible whites, perhaps because she's a WideEyedIdealist.

* Everyone in ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'' has black dots for eyes, except for [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]]. Occasionally changed for reactions that can't be drawn easily on a bead, like [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0499.html eyerolls.]]
* ''Webcomic/PreTeena'': Only the central character, or those closest to the "camera", are drawn with detailed eyes: most of time the characters just have black dots.
%%* Some of the characters in ''Webcomic/{{Sakana}}''.

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' fan comic ''Webcomic/The10Doctors'' (as well as other ''Doctor Who'' fan comics by [[Webcomic/RichsComixBlog the same artist]]), the Fifth Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe (and the Eleventh Doctor in [[http://gorpo.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d31gjue a DeviantArt sketch]]) all have black bead eyes. Due to the art style, other characters have it from time to time -- mostly when drawn in the background.
* Everypony in ''Webcomic/TheDailyDerp''. (Satirical, since Derpy is otherwise a character famous for her distinctive eyes.)
* Also seen on every pony character in ''Blog/SliceOfLife'', though the beads are colored differently for each character.

* Taito from ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}'', [[NonstandardCharacterDesign as opposed to]] the more {{Animesque}} eyes of the rest of the characters.
* ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'' depicts all eyes as ellipses with black fill and a line color that represents the iris. This survived through the series' "sorcery" ArtEvolution, but ended with the "beach" one.

%%* About half the characters in the ''Webcomic/WalkyVerse'' and ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', notably Walky, Sal, Joe, Danny, Becky, and Jason.
* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', [[https://yokokasquest.com/comic/chapter-2-page-10/ Yokoka]] and [[https://yokokasquest.com/comic/chapter-4-page-40/ Raya]] have on occasion had just black dots for eyes, giving them a slightly [[SuperDeformed chibi]] appearance.

* Noah from ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'' has these, and is notably the only main character to have them. They sometimes turn white when he's distressed in some way.
* All of the characters in ''Webcomic/CarawayTalesOfLucidity'' are drawn with dot eyes.

* [[BearyFriendly Teddy]] from ''WebOriginal/QueerKidStuff'' has little black dot eyes.

* Any and all earlier inkblot characters such as WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Bosko]] have black dot eyes to go with their simplistic black and white designs.

* ''WesternAnimation/ATreasureInMyGarden'': The black bead eyes style is used in a few of the shorts, such as "Scuttlebutt, What A Nut" and "On The Tip Of My Tongue".

* Many characters in ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'', which consisted of stuffed plush toys with actual black beads for eyes. Notable examples being Pooh himself, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga and Roo. Also, Christopher Robin himself in any of his pre-2011 appearances.
%%* The Warner siblings in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' have their eyes drawn like this.
* Many characters in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', especially human characters. They often change in order to show emotion, though most commonly to SphereEyes.

* The characters of ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' have simplistic black dot eyes in the Fleischer Studios version.
* Boomhauer and Cotton in ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' have beady black eyes with no sclerae which contrasts with the other characters in the cast..
%%* The characters of ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' may also qualify.
* Any cartoon character that wears EyeGlasses. Some retain this when they take the glasses off:
** Gus on ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' (Though it's averted by Gretchen, Miss Grotke, and Miss Finster (DependingOnTheArtist))
* Milhouse and his father in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' have black dot eyes due to wearing EyeGlasses.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': Arthur averted black dot eyes in the first season, but fell victim to it starting in the second. [[note]]Additionally, this is played with in an episode where D.W. starts pretending like Arthur and begins to wear glasses. They're simply sunglasses without lenses, but her eyes are shown without sclera. This is practically lampshaded at the end of said episode when she closes her eyes while taking them off, only to open them with regrown sclera.[[/note]]
** Prunella ([[OffModel unless surprised]]), Rubella, and some "realistic" animal characters such as Pal and Killer.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': Chuckie Finster and his father (when they're not wearing glasses) have small bead eyes. The same applies to Didi and Grandpa Lou when they are shown without glasses.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Phoebe and the title character's grandmother have black dot eyes over their glasses.
* Fu-Fu and the Reader on ''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat'' have black dot eyes and glasses. Also, any mouse characters and any other bat characters have bead eyes, aside from Master Wu-Fu.
* DependingOnTheArtist, Simon in ''WesternAnimation/TheAlvinShow'' may have these when his eyes aren't obstructed behind his glasses (in another case on the show he was shown to have normal eyes like his brothers.)
* Lisa Loud from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' has dot eyes due to wearing glasses.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'':
** Cedric Sneer has bead eyes whenever he takes off his glasses.
** Schaeffer also has these. A matter of fact, a very brief blink-and-you-miss scene in ''The Raccoons On Ice'' is the only time we see his eyes.
%%* ''[[WesternAnimation/KaBlam Sniz and Fondue]]''
* Ike and every other Canadian person in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' have beady black dot eyes.
* Rufus from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', which is TruthInTelevision, guessing that naked mole rats don't have sclera.
* Mitch Mitchellson and Princess Morbucks in ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'' have black dot eyes and no sclerae while everyone else has normal eyes.
* ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' notably caused controversy for ''averting'' this, seeing as the books illustrate the characters with black dot eyes. Interestingly, when George dreams on the show, characters are shown in the "classic" style of the books.
%%* Billy and his father, as well as his cat Milkshakes and Mandy's dog Saliva, from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''.
%%* Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Cinnamon, Tickety-Tock, Periwinkle, Shovel, Pail, Felt Friends, Orange Kitty and Purple Kangaroo in ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''.
%%* Private Public and his associates in "WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity".
* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', most characters are have simplistic black dot eyes although there are a few exceptions.
* An unusual CGI case is in many of the kid characters in the ''WesternAnimation/ScaryGodmother'' film adaptations. It looks especially bizarre with the way they blink in some scenes.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Chris, DJ and his mother, and Rodney all have little black dot eyes. Harold and Beth also have them when shown without glasses.
** Mike's [[https://totaldrama.fandom.com/wiki/Total_Drama_Reloaded?file=TotalDramaReloadedTDIBlogCharacters.PNG original design]] had his eyes like this, but they were changed to normal eyes with blue irises in his final design.
** The SpinOff ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'' has Pete with these eyes.
* ''WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries'': Dante Hicks has black dot eyes (when he isn't shocked by something)
* All characters in ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''. Johnny himself (who is almost always wearing shades) is shown to have black dot eyes when he accidentally puts on [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Velma Dinkley's]] glasses.
* Some of the background kid characters and some of the DumbMuscle in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' have black dot eyes.
* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' played Superman with detailed dot eyes, possibly a subtle reminder of his alien origins (his father also had them).
* When Billy Batson showed up in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' he had these. While this makes him look like the way he was played in the comics, it does come off strangely odd when he's the only person in the show with that look.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Several non-sentient animals, and pony foals (except Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, whose eyes are respectively colored brown and blue). Snips and Snails, owing to their NonStandardCharacterDesign, are the oldest characters to have such kind of eyes (they're presumably the same age as the Cutie Mark Crusaders).
* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': With human characters: Asians have these eyes and other ethnicities have more detailed eyes.
* If you lived (or have lived) in Spain, you may or may not remember "La Familia Telerín", a series of bumpers that announced that children's programming was done for the day and that it was time to go to bed. All of the characters except Cleo (who has normal eyes), and Pelusin (who's eyes are never seen) have these.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1967'', Doctor Doom's eyes look like this most of the time. In close up shots, they look blue with black pupils.
%%* All of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/LittlePeople''.
* Some of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', including Idaho, Penny, Masami, and Carmen, though given the varying degrees of anthropomorphism in facial structure it can be hard to tell which ones are BlackBeadEyes and which are SkintoneSclerae. Masami is an unusual example in that her eyes and mouth both appear to actually be [[EyelessFace flat-edged holes in her body]]. Penny, when she still has her shell, has a similar face as Masami, though it's unknown how she could [[ExpressiveMask move her eyes and mouth inside the shell]].
* Bobby's older brother, Derek in ''WesternAnimation/BobbysWorld'' is the only one in the Generic family to have this eye style.
* Winslow, Rancid Rabbit, and Shriek [=DuBois=] in ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' have these as well. While Shriek mostly has her EyesAlwaysShut, her eyes appear to be black dots when she looks surprised.

* Carl Wheezer from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' has dot eyes behind his glasses; which actually, is kind of... weird for a all-CGI cartoon show where every other character is designed with more realistic eyes with iris colors. In the pilot, however, Carl had green eyes.

* The human characters as well as a few aliens from ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins'' have black dot eyes.
* All of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/PoppyCat'' had black bead eyes except Owl.
* Squeak the mouse and Mole had black bead eyes in ''WesternAnimation/PeepAndTheBigWideWorld''.
* All of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/AnimalStories'' have this type of eyes.
* While relevant main and secondary characters have fully drawn eyes in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', this trope is used for the background characters.
* Everyone in ''WesternAnimation/MartinMorning'', with the exception of the aliens that appear in some episodes, which makes sense because they are, well, aliens.
%%* The ducks and chickens in ''WesternAnimation/SittingDucks''.
%%* All characters in ''WesternAnimation/BuddyThunderstruck''.
* Most of the characters in ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' avoid this, but their eyes become dots when their character designs become simpler and more indistinct in long-distance shots. A notable exception is [[AlphaBitch Brit Crust]], who always has black bead eyes.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocoyo}}'' and most of the characters from his show have oval-shaped dot eyes.
* Pinga and the other baby penguins in ''WesternAnimation/{{Pingu}}'' have black dot eyes. Possibly to show that they are younger than the rest of the cast.
%%* Used for all characters in ''WesternAnimation/SergeantStripes''.
* All characters except for some slugs and snails in ''WesternAnimation/GordonTheGardenGnome'' have black dot eyes.

* Most non-anthropomorphic animals in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' are drawn with black dot eyes. This extends to classic characters like Tootsie the ''Triceratops'' and the Tittertwill bird. Also, [[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers the Rescue Rangers]] have black eyes as normal animals, but gain CartoonyEyes upon turning sapient.
%%* All the characters in ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'' have these type of eyes.
* ''WesternAnimation/MonkLittleDog'': While they might be too big to count as dots, Kimmy's eyes are all black.
* Used for many characters on ''WesternAnimation/MaggieAndTheFerociousBeast'' except for The Beast, Hamilton, The Moo Sisters, and others. Examples of characters with black bead eyes include Maggie, [[EverythingsBetterWithBunnies Nedly the rabbit]], Rudy the mouse, the Dream Sheep, and [[AnthropomorphicFood The Jellybean Team]].
%%* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'': The French Peas (including Jean-Claude and Phillipe Pea) have these.
* Plenty of characters on ''WesternAnimation/StickGirl'' had black bead eyes.
* Used for many characters on ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy''.
* A few characters on ''WesternAnimation/HeyDuggee'' including Duggee, Norrie, and others have beady eyes. There are some exceptions, like Duggee only grows white sclera eyes when he's surprised, excited, scared, sad, or confused.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Molang}}'': Virtually every member of the cast have beady little black eyes.
* Scooter and Skeeter in ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'' have black bead eyes when they take off their EyeGlasses, presumably to indicate just how shortsighted they are. (Except in the episode "The Weirdo Zone", when Skeeter demonstrates her "inner weirdo" by taking off her glasses, and ''the pupils stay on the glasses''.)

* Johan from ''ComicBook/JohanAndPeewit'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAndTheMagicFlute''[[note]]But not in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' TV series.[[/note]]

* Yoyo Dodo of the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', as well as some background human characters have black dot eyes. Same thing with his son [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Gogo]].

* ''WesternAnimation/StickinAround'' does the bead eyes style, since its art style takes after the traditional StickFigureComic.
* ''WesternAnimation/TazMania'':
** Francis X. Bushlad has dot eyes, but sometimes has sclerae (whether skintone or white) for zany expressions.
** Granny, despite having white sclerae and blue eyes, has these when her glasses are taken off. (''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' in particular)

* Most of the characters in ''Literature/WinnieThePooh'' were drawn with ink dots for eyes. In the animated adaptations, most of the stuffed animal characters (except Eeyore, for some reason) retain these eyes, while the "live" characters (Owl, Rabbit, and Gopher) are given realistic eyes.

* When Elinor from ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' starts losing her humanity while [[BalefulPolymorph transformed into a bear]] her eyes change from humanoid to black and beady.

* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zags this]]. Character usually have black dot eyes but their eyes get bigger and [[SuddenAnatomy have visible sclera]] when surprised, angry, etc.

* Mitch Mitchelson and Princess Morbucks in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' have black dot eyes and no sclerae while everyone else has normal eyes.

* Black dot eyes are in all of the ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}'' series games, but it's a more obvious stylistic choice in ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' and ''VideoGame/MOTHER3''. This also carries over when characters from the games appear in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''.

* ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'': The Prince and his [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters many, many cousins]] have black dot eyes to go with the simplistic artstyle of the series.

* ''ComicBook/KidSherlock'': [[PettingZooPerson Watson]] has little black dot eyes.

* ''Film/DetectivePikachu'': Ditto has tiny bead eyes, even when [[spoiler: imitating a human]].

* In ''VideoGame/EverybodyEdits'', most of the [[DigitalAvatar smileys]] have black lines for eyes. A few smileys' eyes are in different shapes or colours, however.

** The artwork for ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon64'' had the characters with this style, mixed with SuperDeformed, probably to match the previous games' style. In-game artwork was more detailed though.

%%* The Coconut Crew, a group of koala [=NPCs=] from ''VideoGame/SonicRush Adventure'', had these.

* Part of the cutesy SignatureStyle for ''VideoGame/TaikoNoTatsujin'' illustrator Yukiko Yoko, who draws almost every character in the franchise with beady black eyes. This even carried over to her depiction of Zero and Five in ''VideoGame/Drakengard3'' (directed by her husband Creator/TaroYoko) as {{Waddling Head}}s as part of CensoredForComedy joke.
