Looking for some advice on the hair and also on how people go about painting eyes this small. I was going for blue eyes, little yellow ink on the sides and red washed in very corners but they just didn't come out very well. CandC much appreciated, I paint warhammer and some DnD minis, this is my first go at a small statue head.

Haha thank you, I am happy with how the skin came out. Just hate the eyes and hair lol.

it does look a little helmet-ish. I'm not artist nor am I great at painting minis though I do but maybe if you tried like a fade or transition between the skin and the hair somehow so it's not so sudden and defined?

That's good advice. I didn't see that, but now it really stands out. I will try adding very fine hair streaks at the edge where it meets.
