It's in the eyes

The eyes add so much life to a character.  Along with the eyes, I did a bit of shadow and line refinement with paint.  I tried a new technique.  I mixed the flesh color with the darker line color.  Then I used a very wet brush and went over the lines and shadows.  It seemed to soften the edges. 

Though the eyes are installed, it's temporary.  I need to place eyehooks in the eyeballs for the crossing-eyes animation.  Then I'll permanently synch the eyes using a slotted synchro bar from Braylu Creations. After that, they go back in for good. 

Today's scheduled new addition?  Eyebrow rods!
