(part 2) this draw-over follows the map that i drew based on your character’s original facial contours. using the liquefy tool, i warped the eye just slightly (not much, but a little) to give a bit tighter of a fit into the spot where the map would place the eye. i also moved the eye so that its innermost corner would align with the center line of the eye-socket space on the map. since this eye is also technically closer to the viewer, i stuck to the same design choice that you used in your original illustration, making it a little larger than the other eye. i also moved the mouth slightly inward so that the edge of the mouth would line up with the middle of the eye above it. and i moved the pupil of the other eye slightly more rightward to give the appearance that the character is looking directly at the viewer. i hope that this helps make the eyes feel a bit more congruous with the rest of the artwork. and i hope you have fun as you keep working on the design! ❤︎⁠

hello! so just a point of clarification: in order to give the full feedback with draw-overs, i’ve split this reply into 2 parts. (as far as i know, the feedback tool currently doesn’t allow multiple draw-overs for the same comment; but if you know a way for me to post both in one comment, please let me know!) for this first part, i show the map i made for lining up the eyes. for the second part, i show the illustration with the eye aligned to the map that i used: (part 1) i wanted to respect your original drawing and artistic decisions, so i constructed a facial/cranial map based on the contours of the character’s face. (for this part of my feedback, i’ve included a draw-over of the map i used that i attempted to construct with respect to the facial construction that you established in your original illustration). from that map and the general directionality and placement of the features, i think that the reason the eye looks a bit off in your original illustration is that the eye closer to the viewer does not align with the indentation that indicates the edge shape of the eye socket. it also seems like in the original illustration, with consideration for the angle at which the character is depicted, there is more than a single eye-length space in between the two eyes. following the map of the character’s face, i believe that changing these slight misalignments will help improve things.
