Color


Step 1: Start by coloring the eyelashes.


I used dark grey instead black of making it completely black to allow further adjustments like adding shadows etc.

Step 2: Color the eyes with the desired color


Have a mini palette on a different layer to maintain the consistency of colors. Choose other colors that have different shade to your base (shadows and lighting)

Step 15: Add details


Make the creases of the eyes slightly darker. Just below the lower eyelashes, I added a darker shade and a reddish color for the blush. A spot of white with soft edges around the cheeks to make it cuter. I added a few white strokes on the eyelashes using a solid brush, then softening it with a softer brush afterwards.
