​Adding to the thoughts I had on painting eyeballs I previously blogged about here. ​​​One of the areas I saw the most room for improvement was in painting pupils. I had come up with a method of making stencils for the pupils that I really liked, but I was not happy with the brushmarks in the pupils.

  Solution- make the stencils as previously, mask out the rest of the eye as well, and SPRAY the pupil on with spray paint.

​Another interesting and challenging thing about painting eyes is that painted parts look completely different when viewed from the front or the back, as the curve of the plastic greatly magnifies anything in the center. Here, these two pupils are painted the same size, but you can see how much bigger the pupil looks when viewed from the front. 





I find it helpful when designing eyes to make a mock up like this on paper, and then put the resin eye over it to see how the curve will change it.  



Easy peasy!

​Again you can see how much bigger the pupil looks, Also, you can see how anything painted around the outer edge  is greatly minimized. The blue in the mock up fills the outer half of the circle, but when the eye is placed over it, only a thin rim of blue is visible.

Starting to paint the actual eyes. Here they are both viewed from the back...

 And then one flipped over to show how different it looks when viewed from the front.

And, finished eyeballs, along with the reference picture I used. I did two sets like this, one for the grey wolf and another for the grey and black wolf I blogged about here.

Now, I just need to get some teeth painted, so I can start building some heads!

    I make masks. Because art is more fun when you put it on your head.
