Struggling to paint the eyes, help?
I'm not very experienced in painting. In fact, this is my second ever serious painting.. And the first one was for school. I think I got the skin tones right, but whenever I try to add the eyes, they look creepy. Very, very creepy. It doesnt match the image at all. I had a good sketch laid down but the acrylics covered it up and im basically stranded for now
Any advice? His face is turning muddy because ive retried for 5 times at this point, and it doesnt look quite right. This is my third day trying, and I thought it would improve overnight (spoiler alert, it didnt). I can't get the happy face correct and my brushtrokes are always too thick (because I dont have any really small brushes.) Same with the smile. The sketch looked really good too.
I'm using thick acrylics + gouache, and using white tempera since I don't have any white acrylic paint.
