Shadowing the Brow, and final highlights
Depending on the look you're going for, your eye may have a heavy brow
(like the brow of a large dragon), or if it's more like an alligator, the
eyes might almost sit atop the head. In this case, I've used the heavy
brow of a flying animal. Deepen the shadows along the top lid and along
the top of the white of the eye. Also, if the brow is particularly prominent,
you can darken the lower lid quite a bit too. Using a transparent black
color, you can outline the lids and the iris to make them stand out even
more. Remember - contrast is FUN! :-) (Okay..that's my personal preference
speaking up there,but hey...)
Finally, use your airbrush tool or paintbrush set on pure white to create
TWO highlights. One large one closest to the light source (in this case,
the light is coming from the upper left), and a smaller one away from the
light source.
Why? I dunno. Just looks good to me.
