Eye hope this helps 👀 Written out instructions ⬇️ After carefully cutting a ping pong ball in half lets start by drawing on two circles, one the size of the pupil and one slightly smaller than the iris wants to be. Using two shades of sharpies (a light and a dark), loosely color in your torus focusing the darker color on the edges. Then wipe it with some denatured alcohol (on a q-tip), draw more lines on, wipe it again, draw more lines wipe it again stop when you're happy Finish off your iris by filling in the pupil and outlining the outer circle expanding it to the final desired size which should also help neaten up your edges. For the veins I used an intentionally shakey hand to draw on squiggles around a quarter of an inch up. To finish the eye out, the real magic, Add a gloss coat! Everything looks better when you gloss over it! I’m using UV resin as I also want to smooth out and protect the surface of my eye from the frame but if you are making eyes that just need to look nice, you could use any gloss coat, as long as it sticks to plastic. (I might suggest a spray gloss to avoid texture) Now on to the surprisingly simple movement mechanism, It turns out a pill bottle cap is the perfect size for our ball so Im going to snap off any unnecessary bits and cut (or drill) 4 holes in the base that should generally line up with four holes I drilled in the frame so we can epoxy in some elastic string (I pulled out of an old waste band ) which can then be fed through the cradle before securing them to the other side of the frame. Your cradle should now be attached to the frame but still able to slide around the string. Then pop your eye in and give it a try! We have ourselves out very own puppet eye rig as a self-contained piece of art 🎉 hooray! 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ #art #eyeart #howtomakeafakeeye #eyetutorial #drawaneye #spookyart #spookyseason #tutorial
