The eyes…..always the most stressfull part to paint!
I always start with the eyewhite.
Next I try to make the eye, with black, blue or whatever I want.
After that I correct the eyes with flesh color to try to let it looks like eyes in the end.
In real it mostly does look pretty good to me, but in pictures……pfff…..sometimes a disaster!
Practicing is the only way to go….
Good luck anyway!

I try to keep the eyes from the "fried egg" look.
I do not paint the "whites" of the eyes, but use the base flesh color.
Then I touch the iris with a bit of paint on the tip of a toothpick.
Next I cut off the bottom and top of the iris with the dark color I put around the eyes to shade them just a bit.
The last touch are the eyebrows.
Just as you say, Rob: "In real it mostly does look pretty good to me, but in pictures……pfff…..sometimes a disaster!"
