How to Make Realistic Eyes

For Puppets, Dolls, and Sculptures

Making eyes for puppets, dolls, and sculptures requires different techniques and methods for different projects. In this video, I'm demonstrating the method I used to make realistic eyes for a group of life-size wolf puppets.

Steps include:

• sculpting a blank eye

• molding the blank

• casting resin copies of the blank

• painting layers on the resin eyes

• adding a glass cabochon using UV resin
