My main advice for painting eyes has always been 'paint the eyes first, so if you mess up and need to strip them off you're not destroying an entire paint job'.

Sound advice. Mini painting is not just one way of doing something. There are many ways to an end result.

I always paint the eye black first, then paint the whites on and leave the black portion as the iris and pupil. Rather than trying to do pupils on a white eye.

It means that my minis have black irises, but I've never had anyone mention it.

painting it black first is a very common thing. Having black pupils is also very common for peoples minis. I have demonstrated in the past painting colour pupils.
