Cont step 6 : The eyes
To paint the iris , use vodka and gel colour and apply with a very thin brush . To get a realistic effect , look at reference photos or simply look in the mirror at your own eyes .
Step 7 : The eyelids and under-eye area
Roll out modelling paste , cut out a circle and cut this in half . Place it onto the eyeball to create the under eyelid area . Blend it in . Do it the same way for the upper eyelid and the other eye .
Step 8 : Lips
Place a small sausage of modelling paste to create the upper lip and blend it in . Don ’ t forget to texture the lip - texture is always most important !
Step 9 : Face
Apply more modelling paste to the chin , cheeks and the lips . Remember that children ’ s faces are much fleshier than adults .
