eye, mini tut.

Eyes,

Ok first this mini-tut is simply to inform some on how to make a decent looking eye in my opinion, others may not share this same view.
Brush being used.
Airbrush
Round, size 3, hardness 0, opacity 3, step 1, density 100.
Color 1, white, 256, 256, 256
Color 2, black, 0, 0, 0

Ok start off by drawing the simple outline of the eye.

This should vary depending on the model being skinned, the look wanted and personal taste.


Now add the eyelids and a line where “eye bags” may form

This should also vary depending on the model and look you are looking to achieve.


Now do some simple shading with the same brushes.

Do not forget to round the eye itself and also add an iris and pupil. Don’t forget the shine spot either.


Now for Color!
Add another layer and change blend mode to multiply.
Add the color with the same brush used to make the eye just now with the color of your choice.

It should turn out pretty dark.




Don’t worry though we can fix it!
Grab your dodge wand and put it to work lighten up some areas and darken some if needs be.

Done, you now have a decent eye.
