When it comes to sculpting eyes, there are several rules you need to remember. According to the classical canon of proportions, the distance between eyes is equal to one eye. The eye is essentially a sphere; it is called an eyeball for a reason. The eyelids have thickness and wrap around that ball. The upper eyelid is slightly thicker than the lower one. It also protrudes forward a bit more than the lower eyelid. When sculpting eyelids, you need to make sure that they are located on the same horizontal level. Avoid a junior mistake of placing one eye higher or lower than another. The shape of eyelids is not symmetrical. The upper eyelid has the highest point about one-third from the inner corner while the lower eyelid has the lowest point one-third from the lateral corner. Make sure that your sculpture is symmetrical.
