Let me bring you here and here
Practice lang yan! You really can't do figs exactly the way you want it. As for me, I've been trying it over and over again. Until now, I'm still trying to learn how to do it.
BTW, pwede mo ring alternative is not to paint the white itself but instead use a wash. Try to observe people at a distance, most of them doesn't show the whites of their eyes at all.

I'm sure the figure "elites" will share to you their secrets....^_^
I'm not one of them, but I know it takes time and practice...
Keep trying, and if you don't find your work satisfying, strip the paint off and try again...
The more time you spend, the more adept you become....
Take time, and don't rush it up....
Good Luck!

I think it is better to apply a very light coats of thinned paint rather than a single application of unthinned paint to color the figure....Details on the figure will be retained on the process...(as thick coats tend to cover up the details....)
Let dry (depending on the paint you are using..)before applying the next coat, or else you'll end up brushing off the first coating...Let the coats build up the color gradually...
Hope this help...
I'm still learning....

if your not happy with the end product of your painting, you can always cover the face with paint. just pretend that he's wearing a face camoflage. :-) :-)

Crap huh, you should see my first figures then you can say it's crap! The first thing that brought me to build armor kits was because of the figures around them.
1/35: Actually ginagawa ko ay base coat ng red brown tapos highlight lang ng Humbrol Flesh color na may konting halong ochre. When I say highlight it's like dry brushing leaving the sunken parts a bit darker than the raised details like the nose, lips or brows. But make sure your base coat is totally dry. I don't know if this works for other modellers but it sure does for me. It goes down to technique.
1/16-75mm-90mm-100mm etc.. ... This is much different because any mistakes are very obvious. Other websites explain it mor better than I can.

For painting faces in 1/35 I use this method:
1) Paint flesh parts with basic flesh color
2) Make a wash of burnt sienna (the paint to thinner ratio will depend on you if you want a light or strong shadow contrast)
3) Highlight by drybrushing
4) paint the eyes, eyebrows, & lips.
For shading the clothes in 1/35th scale I use this method:
1) Paint the basecoat or cammo pattern
2) Use a wash on the basecoat
-If monotone mix basecoat with black to make wash color, if using a cammo pattern mix black to the dominant color to make wash color
-If using monotone you can make the wash as dark as you like but in cammo patterns you should make the wash as thin as possible so as to make tha cammo pattern as visible as possible
3) Highlight by drybrushing lighter shade of basecoat or dominant color.
