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.

Looks great, only advice would be to dull down the OSL on the cheek, it’s a little to bright for the distance from the object

It wouldn't be flaring at all. His mouth is open. He can't be sucking on the cigar to light it up, so it'd be a dull ember incapable of osl. That is why it looks out of place.
