Hi guys -

I've nearly finished painting my first squad of Grey Hunters and starting to think about their faces. I want to do as many hair colour varients as I can really so interested to know if anyone has any advice on good ways of painting different shades of hair. I'm thinking of drybrushing and highlighting but not sure what colours will look good.

My other problem is eyes. Whenever I've painted human eyes before they have looked ok, but not great. I try to paint them white and then have a black pupil but the white is ussually too big and there is no black outline around the white left. Any tips/pics would be great

Thanks!

If it wasn't already too late, I'd suggest painting your eyes first. Also, I've seen multiple tutorials on eyes say to ignore the pupils and just get the iris in there.
