Anime eyes
Posted by andy21047 on Saturday, January 15, 2005 9:09 AM
I have recently gotten into anime figures and I am having trouble painting the eyes. I know Archer transfers makes eye decals for figures, but they do not make eyes for anime figures. Does anyone make anime eye decals for scales 1/8, 1/7, and 1/6?

Wave in japan makes Dolls Eyes that will suit Anime figures, but they are in 1/6 scale and only a few choices of colours.
Learning to paint anime eyes takes some time and practice, best practice a LOT on paper.

Here are 2 guides:

There is also another problem with Anime eyes, each cartoonist has it's own way to draw eyes and it is kinda a signature. So using decals might make the fig look a bit strange to guys that really know Anime.

For paints I use a liquitex colour set that is sold by Wave in Japan and has all the standard eye colours in small bottles.

HTH.
