I always found when painting eyes was to paint it black then add the white eye part around it. Easier for me that way and ends up looking less derpy lol. But decent first attempt.
This was actually taken a while ago (reposting my OC from Reddit) but honesty painting my eyes havent gotten much better haha. Toothpick is a good suggestion!
I use a "hack"; paint the whites, and then once dry use a micron pen (the insanely fine tip ones) to "paint" the blacks. Squidmar on YouTube has a video on it
I always use a pin. Dip the point in paint to pick up a tiny drop, then gently guide the pin onto the eye to deposit it
I kinda like it. They look really smug about something lol
He’s happy just to be invited.
What Ive found helps is after you do the white and the colour to go back and paint eyelids over the tops
