So far I've been trying to do a single dot to avoid the Sigurd Snake in the Eye side effect that I initially got and is still partly visible on the left eye. Another tip that I've gotten is to use a dark tone in the whole eye socket first to give it a starting eyeshadow/liner effect before adding the white. I've always done a softer flesh wash there but never pooled a darker black wash in the eyes as a starter. I have to admit that I'd never have expected to be so concerned with Space Marine make up tutorials just a few days ago. :)SITZKRIEG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05236105506126383773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520041077030819244.post-57624562978775427562019-06-10T09:43:10.883-04:002019-06-10T09:43:10.883-04:00Here's a suggestion how to do it.

Paint a black/brown or blue brown vertical stripe down the middle (you always see more iris than white-look in a mirror).<br /><br />3. Paint flesh for eyelids, keep it simple, smaller eyes are better than bigger ones.

Difficulty with that specifically is what I alluded to with the comment about my next post being a rant about aging in the hobby. Sadly, that might be the best that I can do as it took a half dozen paint over attempts just to get that and that was with magnifying reading glasses. I might try fixing the left one but I'm afraid that after the overcoat that I'll obliterate detail with too many layers.
