Probably the best "eye" tutorial I have seen in the nearly 30 years I have been painting figures; I can't wait to give this one a try.

Same here 😅

The turning of the head upside for down is a life-saver, really makes things easier for me now. Never thought of that, great job.

The best eye-painting tutorial I’ve seen! I wish I had seen this a couple of years ago!

wow that was freaking me out how real they looked. i thought at any time they would blink thanks for sharing your knowledge. cheers

I'm glad you found it useful.

Again, thanks for the great tips! Some of the tips are so simple too but HUGELY helpful! I've never even thought about just flipping the model for the other eye!!

Beginner here. I also think this is the best tutorial for eyes I have found. Thanks.

Dude, those are some gorgeous eyes right there. Thanks for that tuto!

This is the best "eye" tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you very much! I can't wait to paint!

Thanks for the tutorial. Painting eyes can be very hard to do

Excellent tutorial Dave, thank you very much as this is one area I have the most difficulty getting right. Andy King

Dave, great basic demo on eye painting! Very helpful. Enjoy your MTC series very much!

Most Excellent Tutorial on painting eyes that I can remember. Very Very good. Additionally, your teaching and illustration skills are superb. Would love to see more of your vids.

I watch just about everything on painting figures on youtube, This is by far the best one for painting eyes you keep it nice and simple.

Upper lid darker, lower lid lighter. Never realized that before! Thanks!!

Glad you liked it. Thanks for viewing!

Would love a 28mm/32mm size mini version of this.

Very good presentation! Had i been working on a bust this size, i would have considered drilling out the iris area and inserted a pair of round balls for added 3D effect. i came across some small "glass balls" in a bookstore. They came in a variety of almost equal size`s, around 1-2 mm (pack consisted of several hundred balls) i say this because to my knowledge the anatomy/profile of an eye is somewhat bulged/conical. BTW in addition to the pupil and the iris, the white area is called sclera.

Fantastic job on those eyes, and I admire your patience!

thank you!!! what a fantastic lesson it rocked!! i hope to visit your fun-tastic store soon i have been working on a line of custom 1-16 scale figures based on the 60"s war films and your lessons have been priceless- thank you greatly Raymond

Thank you for this great eye tutorial. I am a wood carver, I do small face carvings. This is great!!...Thanks.

Thank you, very well done! All Hail Shep Paine!

This was amazing¡ Great production, the camera was at the perfect spot, i was able to see everything and never out of focus; also the white board was very helpful along with your explanation. Thank you so much.

You're very welcome. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks For the tips I have always found painting eyes the hardest part of a mini so avoided them if possible but now i am prepared to give them a go.

Very useful techniques!

Beautifully explained, Thanks

Just getting started, and this helps immensely!! Thanks..

really well done... thanks Dave!

Great techniques! Thanks for the pointers.

Thank you for this video on painting eyes. I received a did it yourself figure sculpture for Chrismtas, and even though I an crafty, I don't have confidence in painting the eyes. This video really had helped so thank you so much.

Very nice tip. Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful indeed. Many thanks.

Excellent Dave. On your next video could you possibly finish painting the whole face? And maybe do one on painting highlights and shadows on clothing with acrylic paint. Those close up shots are great. =)

Thank you so much for sharing these tips, fantastic, and so help full.

Good well done. Thanks for sharing.

Cool tutorial! Thanks!

Nice step by step tute :-)

Best eye tutorial ive seen, Thanks

Very helpful & informative. Thanx a lot.

Thank you! That´s perfect!

Hi. Thanks. Eyes have always been a hassle for me. Have loads of busts, but not tried them because of 'Eye painting' phobia. Your tutorial has explained well. Ready to go with my first bust.

Fantastic tut!!

thanks. after watching about 100 tutorials, some get overly complicated and...frankly, this one seemed to really help. I'm not doing figures, rather 1/4 scale resin full dolls, but this did help when I got stuck. I either sink or swim it seems.

It's been Very Helpful Dave! Thanks

Dave, I love your videos - please keep them coming!

Great video, just what I was looking for. Thank you.

Very usefull tips, thanks for the explanation.

Great presentation. I like the chart. It helps.

i really like the videos you do, i paint eyes different i paint the eye 100% hull red vallejo then i go in and cover most of the hull red with a light grey i just leave hull red around the extreme edges of the eye lids. then i paint the black spot, then i go in with a piece of wire and very easliy you can scrape the layers of black/ light grey and hull red away from the centre of the big black dot. then i go in with the desired iris colour then the pupil white flash light gloss varnish done

Very good!! Thanks for sharing

great tutorial.. thanks for sharing

Shepherd Paine was a Master at building Diorama's. Great video by the way. A lot of useful information. :-)

I use a micro or regular sharpie and dot the pupil with the marker. sometimes black markers are easier than a brush

I have problem with marker after add vernish ! So what do you use?

Great stuff! Very helpful

Brilliant and thank you for the tutorial.

Fantastic hopefully I can do this technique good video. Thanks

Great tutorial, thanks!

Very helpfull, thanks for the tips, great video!

Thank you for the tutorial. One thing that would have made it better would have been to have an extreme closeup of the head after each step to show in more detail what was done. Still, this is fantastic and has been very, very helpful to me. ♥

Great video thanks so much for sharing.

I have used this a few times and is a good guide for 1/35th, the catch light I cannot do but the basics have helped me.

Excellent painting tips.........................Maybe you could show detail painting on models, say sci-fi models.

SUBSCRIBED! What a wonderful and thorough lesson. thanks for this masterful video!

Great job, excellent video!

Really good tutorial, thanks a lot!

Thank you for sharing your tips! ;o)

Wery good tuto! Thanks

Great tip thanks.

Amazing video. Thank you

Thank you for this informative step by step painting.

Thank you for explaining. I generally paint 25mm, do you recommend doing their eyes the same?

So good, thank you for making this!

Thanks for the tutorial! It's a great idea to use a toothpick! do you mean you took the sharp tip off?

Very nice video, I learnd a lot thank you!

The way I do it, is I first paint the eye socket black, then 2/3 layers of bone colour - leaving a black edge around the eye, like they're wearing make-up. This makes the eye more defined and stand out more. Then I paint the pupil, basically the same way you did here. I only really paint smaller figures, so I just leave it at that. I paint the rest of the face next, 'cause it's easier than painting the whole face then doing the eyes after.

Thanks Dave. Very useful.

The first thing I noticed before anything else was your use of a tripod , great lighting and excellent video editing.Anyone out there making how-to videos or tutorials, invest in a tri-pod. Nothing more annoying,no mateer how good the content then a shaky video. Excellent video..subbed

I am struggling big time with 1-35 scale, the tips here will help me. Thanks for your time

I love the idea of flipping the figure upside down for the right eye which is what I always struggle with...

you seem pretty cool. I bet we would talk about ww2 and stuff for hours. well thanks for the vid cause i am tryna learn this stuff.

Hello, I saw this video now! Awesome one very usefull . Would be nice to see it in 54mm

No point in using these techniques on a 1/35th figure, more about 1/6th or so.
