Adding basic eyes and eyelids to the character
Our character is missing something important - eyes! Eyes are one of the most important parts of a character; they can take a lot of tweaking to get right. We'll explore how to make many different types of eyes in Chapter 7, Making Eyeballs, but for this chapter, we are going to keep it simple and provide you with a pair of eyes that you can add to your sculpture.
Eyes are typically created as a separate object instead of sculpting them directly into the character. We'll learn how to append a pair of pre-made eyes from an external .blend
file. Then, we'll learn how to position the eyes with Blender's transformation tools. Once the eyes are added, we can make eyelids for the character. To make the eyelids, we can try using the Crease brush along with some of our other brushes.
