Some time ago, I mentioned a method for painting eyes. Well, here are some less than stellar photos in an attempt to illustrate what I was talking about.

Step one is to just paint the eye area white. No neatness worries here. Second is to add a thin stripe of the iris color. Here's where you can make the guy look around if you want. You just need to make sure that both eyes are "looking" the same way.

When that's done and dried, you just paint your flesh color right up to the eyes. Take care around the nose. This can be sticky. If you need a wide-eyed look, this is where you can make it, or squinty or normal.
