This time im going to show you step by step on how to do an eye edit. I tried to make this as EASY as possible but with a good out come

okay first off, get a good eye close up on your meez. Go to your meezmaker, remove any makeup, hair that might be in the way, just to give yourself an easy canvas. Now zoom in super super close, for this i zoomed in about 300. Now take a screen shot by pressing these following keys Print scrn>open MS Paint(or any other art program)> Ctrl V. Now save that as a PNG, trust me it will just make everything easier lol.
Now its time to edit, for this im using photoshop, but this works for GIMP too, so zoom in a bit, grab the smudge tool, and smudge all of the little pixels away.

Now zoom in more, and create a new layer, go to Layer>New>New layer. Now grab the eye dropper tool, and pic a spot close to were the shine of the eyes are, and now grab your brush and color over the white. Repeat this process with all the white spots. Now grab your smudge tool again and blur it together to make it look natural. It doesnt have to look perfect, but just get it as close as you can.

Now merge those layers together. Now create a new layer just like before. Grab the smallest brush possible, and get a color that is close to the eye color, but a bit brighter. Now just add lines going away from the puple to the outter part of the iris. Now we need to blur this just a bit, go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur. Now just blur that just a tiny tiny bit, we dont want it to turn into a big blob.

Yet again..create another layer. Repeat the proces of adding color from the puple to the outter part of the iris, but this time, use an even lighter color. And repeat the blur process

And yes again, create ANOTHER layer. This time, grab a funky color, for this im using a lime green, this will make the eye pop a bit. But this time, just add the color in small areas like show in the example.

Now blur the funky color you just created, and now, just merge ALL of the layers together. And now...yes create another new layer. This time, we need to draw the puple back in, so on your newly made layer, get your brush and just color were the puple is with black paint.

okay, now on your first layer (ie. The one that doesnt have the puple drawn on it) grab your burn tool. Now just burn along the top part of the eye to make it like shading. Now get your dodge tool, and brighten the bottom part of the eye, like in the example below.

Now you may merge all these layers together. And YES AGAIN make another layer (last one i promise)

And now, grab a small brush, and color white shine spots on the eyes, and now just blur those a bit, and your finally done!!

Tip: for adding colors to the eyes, use colors that are similar to the orginal meez color eye, for example, my meezes eyes were brown, so i used light browns and golds.
