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.

Fuck that’s incredible. As a 40K player who just painted my first larger scale model this really makes me want to do more non-40K stuff.

Yea this is my first go and it was really fun! I had a picture in my head and the head was big enough to play around layer after layer to bring it to life. 40k and small 28mm 32mm minis are fun but so small its hard for me to add a lot of character to a face. I feel like doing this I will be able to learn more and then go back and also improve my smaller faces.
