hot to paint the eyes?

[montoy]

hi guys im very very new here (",)
i just have some painting ques.

how do you paint human eyes?
sometimes i get that wide eye look, or they look too white for eyes.
how do you make them normal looking eyes?

and when painting figs, 1/10 or bigger,
is it better to use air brush?or it all depends on the painter?

thanks you so much.

I like to base the eyeball out in light gray mixed a smidge of Payne's Gray. It more closely resembles a real eye color. Once that is dry, I like to use watercolors to draw in the edge of the iris. This allows you to make sure both your eyes are looking in the same direction and are the same size. If you goofed it, wet your brush, wash it off and try again.

For any eye, I almost always use a combo of brush and airbrush work.

Hope that helps!
