Techniques for Painting Eyes

[MerkinMuffly]

The turning of the head upside for down is a life-saver, really makes things easier for me now. Never thought of that, great job.

Very good presentation! Had i been working on a bust this size, i would have considered drilling out the iris area and inserted a pair of round balls for added 3D effect. i came across some small "glass balls" in a bookstore. They came in a variety of almost equal size`s, around 1-2 mm (pack consisted of several hundred balls) i say this because to my knowledge the anatomy/profile of an eye is somewhat bulged/conical. BTW in addition to the pupil and the iris, the white area is called sclera.

The first thing I noticed before anything else was your use of a tripod , great lighting and excellent video editing.Anyone out there making how-to videos or tutorials, invest in a tri-pod. Nothing more annoying,no mateer how good the content then a shaky video.

Excellent video..subbed

Again, thanks for the great tips! Some of the tips are so simple too but HUGELY helpful! I've never even thought about just flipping the model for the other eye!!

i really like the videos you do, i paint eyes different

i paint the eye 100% hull red vallejo

then i go in and cover most of the hull red with a light grey

i just leave hull red around the extreme edges of the eye lids.

then i paint the black spot, then i go in with a piece of wire and very easliy you can scrape the layers of black/ light grey and hull red away from the centre of the big black dot. then i go in with the desired iris colour then the pupil white flash light gloss varnish done

Excellent Dave. On your next video could you possibly finish painting the whole face? And maybe do one on painting highlights and shadows on clothing with acrylic paint. Those close up shots are great. =)
