Step 2: Create a new layer called “Trace”. Use Pentool to draw like the below image

Step 3: Fill the path with your favourite color. Do the same things above to make like this

Step 4: Create a new layer called Eye. Use Pentool again to draw an oval, the eye. Choose any soft brush 2px, stroke the path

Step 5: Merge all the layers. Let’s jump to the colorization part (Really hard one). Create a new layer called “Color”, choose your color, with the layer mode “Multiply”, big soft brush, Flow: 30%. We have to brush many times. Each we choose a darker color. This will make our eye more lively.
