Have you tried painting black then putting a dot of white in each corner?

Nice going! You've been busy. I like the SM. The transparent blue gives them a lovely magical feel.

For eyes, I go with all white and then a vertical black stripe in the center. You do need a good brush with a thin tip though. I think that's the most important thing to getting them right. Older, beat up brushes have a wider tip, and hairs standing at all angles, which makes these kinds of fine details hard to get right.

What's on the list to be painted?
For Nagarythe: Come to the dark side.
