Creating Realistic Eyes with Polymer Clay Pt. 2

Once your clay has baked and cooled, take some white acrylic paint and thin it down till it is a runny consistency so that you can make transparent washes over the eye.
You want to coat the entire eye but keep some of the color.  You don't want to lose the tint entirely.
Let this dry.  You may have to make three or four washes to get it to the right color.

 Make a dot in the center of your eye with a black sharpie.
Line this dot up with a ruler that has tiny round circle templates.  Ones that you get from a hardware store for bolts and nails is great for making tiny circles.
Use a verithin colored pencil in the color that you are making your eyes, to trace a circle shape that takes up the front side of the eye.
Then trace a smaller one and color it in as round as you can with the black sharpie.

Once the sharpie is dry,  take your light brown Bic Markit and slowly trace in the iris part of the eye.
Then take the dark brown and make a thin dark round line around the pupil and around the ouside of the iris.  Make thin spokes like pie wedges carefully around the iris going inward to to the pupil.

Next take the Magenta Bic Markit and make thin spokes opposite each other in a couple spots.
Do the same thing with the yellow.
Once these are dry,  carefully take white acrylic paint and place dots for highlights near the pupil and outside of the iris.
Let this dry, and paint the entire eye with ceramcoat and let dry.

Cut your wires short and use them to help you place the eyes into your doll clay that hasn't been fired yet. 
When you are placing the eyes, make sure they are the same depth, that the highlights are turned the same way for both eyes, and they are spaced evenly on each side of the nose.

Then continue to build up the rest of your doll face and structure around the eyes.
