The biggest obstacle to this technique is the mental block. But broken down into small steps, this process is actually very easy and not difficult at all. Below are the basic steps for painting eyes: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Practice drawing eyes on a sheet of paper<\/li>\n<li>Using a mechanical pencil, draw in the eyes on the figure<\/li>\n<li>Trace over the pencil lines using a technical pen<\/li>\n<li>Paint the darker iris color using enamel paints<\/li>\n<li>Paint the lighter iris color using enamel paints<\/li>\n<li>Paint in the white highlight dots if they were not already drawn in from the previous steps<\/li>\n<li>Clean up any details using the technical pen or paint colors<\/li>\n<li>Apply a gloss clear coat to the eyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For eye painting, I use several items, a radiograph technical pen that has a .13mm tip, your standard mechanical pencil, enamel paints, lighter fluid for thinning, a reference picture, and a blank sheet of paper. To begin, I practice drawing the eye from the reference on the blank sheet of paper. Getting my hands used to the motion of drawing the eyes helps relax and helps the hands learn the motions for drawing a decent eye. Once I have practiced enough, I move on to the kit.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/ufo.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" id=\"eye_painting.flv\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\">Get the Flash Player<\/a> to see this player.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">   var FO = { movie:\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/mediaplayer.swf\",width:\"640\",height:\"480\",majorversion:\"7\",build:\"0\",wmode:\"transparent\",bgcolor:\"#FFFFFF\",             flashvars:\"file=http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/videos\/eye_painting.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false\" }; UFO.create(FO,\"eye_painting.flv\"); <\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"> <a href=\"images\/kanu1_6_prog 250_jpg.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[14]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"thumbnails\/kanu1_6_prog 250_jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"images\/kanu1_6_prog 252_jpg.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[14]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"thumbnails\/kanu1_6_prog 252_jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I first draw out the eye using the mechanical pencil on the kit. If I make any mistakes, I can simply erase the drawn eye and start over. Once I am satisfied with the eye drawing, I trace that out using the technical pen. The eye ball, white highlight areas, and eye color areas are drawn negatively, meaning I just draw around those areas and leave those areas white to be addressed later.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/ufo.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" id=\"pencil_eye.flv\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\">Get the Flash Player<\/a> to see this player.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">   var FO = { movie:\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/mediaplayer.swf\",width:\"640\",height:\"480\",majorversion:\"7\",build:\"0\",wmode:\"transparent\",bgcolor:\"#FFFFFF\",             flashvars:\"file=http:\/\/www.gamerabaenre.com\/videos\/pencil_eye.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false\" }; UFO.create(FO,\"pencil_eye.flv\"); <\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"images\/kanu1_6_prog 251_jpg.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[14]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"thumbnails\/kanu1_6_prog 251_jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below I have both eyes traced out in black ink.
