Yeah I used to just put a spot of colour for the eyes and it always looked poor. While others managed white and then a smaller coloured spot too. |

A really small brush 
For real, though... the best painters use extremely small brushes and magnifying glasses or lenses and do a technique of laying (black base after skin tone, white swipe sideways, smaller black swipe vertical, skin tone to clean up edges). But my first eyes, I used the head of a pin. Dabbed it in the paint and did practice dots on paper to see how many taps would give me the size dot I wanted. So I'd dab the pin, tap on paper (sometimes just once) and then dot the eye...  |
