Cool thou the eyes are really scary. Please do add irises. In this scale a vertical line in the middle will look a lot better than nothing. Trust me also a highly diluted wash will blend those together and push the white a bit to the back

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I think I might repaint the face. But that'll be a future project. I've slowly run out of time and I don't think Scott will give us another extension. I guess technically I have 6 hours left to try and do something about those horrible eyes. :'(

Well, that was a failed eyeball attempt. Definitely needs a new face now. #ragequit

Not gonna submit mine. Figures without faces aren't really completed figures. 😖

No worries. Try that in future it's really forth having the eyes done.

Thanks. I will. I just have incredibly shakey hands. I need more practice. Or maybe I should be looking for figures that have something covering their eyes. ;D ;D ;D

Have a drink before painting the eyes
It helps with the shaky hands and if it doesn't help it helps you not to care

I totally agree with Biskup, I same my detail painting for later in the day after the coffee has worn off and I have a pint or three in me.

I wish I could do the eyes first, but I'm not good at doing the super smooth transitions from shadows to highlights. So I airbrush it. But that leaves me with painting microscopic details afterwards and not even the H&S 10/0 brush or the W&N 3/0 & Cotman 0 rigger help out.

Oh well, you know what that means. Practice, practice, practice.
