I used to hate painting faces – eyes especially. Then I caught Lyla Mev’s video on how to paint eyes and now I love it! Sometimes I feel like I only paint the rest of a mini so I can get it out of the way and start on the next face 😉

I know where all the flaws are in the mini, so when I look at the photo, I can seem them all magnified about a thousand percent. But paint some eyes on face and it immediately grabs your attention and won’t let it go! I’m not unhappy with the final mini – just that the photo doesn’t do it justice because – as you said – it really does highlight the flaws (which are all I see because I know where to look!).

In fact, it spurred me on to get my Pop Mini MOTU (set one) finished so I can spend this weekend painting the rest of *this* (slightly more realistic, heroic scaled) set. Who knows, I might even put some effort into basing this set properly 😉
