I paint eyes on my 25mms <well the human ones at least ;)>, but usually
just
leave the "eyes" black on 15mms, which still works OK.

I just keep the balck from the undercoat.

Cream is OK, but white isn't too bad... could be my black undercoat
though.

Actually I've found it works better if you put in a spot of another
colour,
blue, brown, green, grey.... red if they're supposed to be possessed.
Then
add the black dot and the eyelids. Works well and less (if any) of the
"my
gosh that gave me a start"

Cheers
