Description [link]

My last eye painting tutorial is pretty old and I've been getting e-mails about adding more detail to it.
There's like, a billion eye painting tuts out there, but I just wrote one for Painter Magazine so I thought I'd post the steps.

No words! It's pretty self explanatory.
Done in Corel Painter X (using digital airbrush) with my trusty ol' Wacom Intuos2 tablet.

Same principles apply in Photoshop too.

really great tutorial, though I guess you could have added some text to it I know from experience that most people will understand better when learning from two sources - pictures and words

but anyways, the eyes shows as an example are truly hypnotising

I use Painter too... I hate photoshop for digital painting... I only use it for adjustments and filters...
However i suck at making brushes in Painter...
What brushes do you use and how do you tweek them for getting that painted look?

Thanks.

Thank you so much for posting this! It's really helpful. My only problem with coloring is that I can never pick corresponding/complementary shades for the skin tones. D;
