Thanks, I appreciate your suggestion. I know haven't got the eyes quite right, but white might be a little too much; I've been trying to figure out how to improve them and am considering some grey maybe... I'm actually planning on doing some "mule eye study" pieces to see what I can do with them.

Here's a zoomed-in pic of his eye from the picture I worked from for this piece. The eye appears very black and has the lash over it like I've done, but I feel like it needs just a little something. Just can't figure out exactly what or where...
