These days it's difficult to find truly dark brown irises for a figure's eyes. The best available are actually a lighter amber color. Some folks paint the back of the irises with Raw Umber acrylic paint, but I prefer to paint the indentations in the eyeballs. I think the irises look more natural that way. Of course, I have to be very careful not to paint the white part of the eyeball.
