I was pretty worried about the eyes. They took some patience, but it wasn't too hard. The paint consistency is important. It needs to flow, but not go all over the place.
After glazing with gloss varnish a barely visible sienna oil wash was put in the bottom part of the eye to bring out the line. Then the mini was sprayed with dullcote.
I used this guy's eyes for inspiration.
I wore 1.5x magnifying glasses so I can see what I'm doing.
I use this.
Works well, but feels a little cheap.
My favorite magnifiers as someone who does bench work, beading, wire wrap, stonework:
