- This is the third installment of a 5 part tutorial series detailing step-by-step how to repaint a 1/6 scale head, specifically the Sideshow Collectibles Obi-Wan Kenobi. In this video I go over the process of painting eyes.

You've done a man's job, sir. I started thinking about placing a real image of an eye there, a pic, then adding the gloss. Or, painting the eye on a sticker separately, really going for crazy details, then applying the sticker.
Best video I have watched on utube for painting tutorial period! THANK YOU!!
Excellent tutorial - the gloss application before painting the pupil is genius :) Thanks!
This was a fantastic step by step vid! So easy to follow thank you!
Thanks for some great tips. Made a real difference to the eyes I was painting on a sculpt.
Glad to hear this was helpful!
very helpful for beginners, many thanks for the knowledge. All the best
This is wonderful. I always mess up the eyes and I think this is method that will make all the difference to my attempts at repaints! I usually manage everything else including skin textures and eyebrows but I am never happy with the eyes in 1:6! Thanks so much. I will definitely try to get those magnifying specs because the ones I have make things worse Lol!
Thanks a lot for sharing this increíble tutorial!
Carlos G. Pereira you’re welcome, I hope you find it helpful.
That looks like a solid method. Clear after each stage you feel is "done" and you get that erase-ability going on. Drop of clear on the pupil to give a raised lens effect. That's clever. I wonder if a gel would maintain the raised dome look better instead. ? Or let it dry facing down for 2 min then up?
Thanks for the tut.
I've tried gel before, but honestly it's such a small area that the thinner clear coat works just fine. But yes, you want to leave the head facing up so the drop has time to dry.
excellent, i shared in my custom group
Aww thanks mate
Thanks so much for this video!
You are brilliant ty very much
Im a bit late but thanks homie! Very helpful vid!
Great video. So when I get to painting the eyes I should use lilac for the eyewhites instead of actual white? :)
Yes, that is correct. It's still a very light (almost white color) but it should still be a noticeably more lilac shade than just straight white.
Video DEFINTIELY helped! What dull coat do you use?
Im trying to give a custom Sith look to my hot toys Darth Vader head (no helmet). For whatever reason, Hot Toys painted him with bright blue eyes. Since the eyes are already painted; would you recommend using a fine tip yellow paint marker for the inner portion and red for the outer? I wish I could do your method, but I dont think Im that talented. Thanks
Want to get a similar Hot Toys head of the Anakin skywalker figure and have the yellow eyes of the sith....
Have never painted on figures, you have some tips?
Calle Nyström I’d skip the first few steps and just repaint the iris and pupil. Paint blood red (mix red, brown and black paint) for the large part of the iris. Then cover most of that with yellow... a few coats may be needed. Once you get the iris how you want then gloss it and do the pupil like I show in the video.
Hi, I recently bought a 1/6 headsculpt but it has derpy eyes. Can I just paint over the derpy eye and fix it?
It depends... as long as the eye is smooth it would probably be okay. The two problems you could run into is that if the paint on the eye is gloppy that could make it hard to get a good looking eye. And the other is without having primed the head the paint may not adhere as well. I've painted on top of paint before though and in most cases it's fine.
GalactiVids thanks. I will try. Im so upset that the seller refuses to send me a new one. The right eye is painted in the middle of the karkas which makes him look shook. But his left eye is angry. I really wanted to stay on my budget for this figure and didnt expect to have to buy a whole other head 😕. Hopefully the paint will do
Thx for the tuto
Is there a name for the type of magnifying glasses you use? I've seen complex looking magnifying headsets and desk lamp magnifiers on sale online but not one that looks like yours. Is there any brand you recommend over others? Any tips for purchasing?
ZangelDemon I just bought a pair at Hobby Lobby... I don’t recall a name brand. But they were sold as magnifying goggles.
Hey brother! Great video! What gloss do you use?
pretty good job!!! could you tell me the measured Of each brush you used, in order to look for it un mu local stores, by the way how you cast tha head? it is Resine? because looks perfecto to me. thanks
Great tutorial! I gotta give it a try. Question on the skin tones, do you thin it out with water or other thinner product?
Thanks! Since I use acrylics, it's just use a bit of water. And if you mix up large batches they can thicken up over time, but just a bit of water will sort them out.
Thanks for the reply. I do have one more question. Was this the final video of your tutorial or will you be adding a part 4 for the hair and other details?
Yeah, I got busy with other things and never finished the series. I have the video shot, just not edited. I will do my best to have it up in the next few weeks.
Hello, what size of the brush you used?
What size is the head?
It's for a 1/6 (or 12" tall figure) so the head is about 2" tall.
GalactiVids OK thanks
