No white pencil. I'm using gouache on these. I can't find a good white pencil to cover to save my life unless it's applied to a gray toned paper. Another trick I am using are these goggles that magnify the illustration. I bought them at Hobby Land a long time ago for models and sculpting. The journal is only 5"x8" so that's not a lot of room. My wife thinks I look like a big dork.
To get good at eyes just practice shading spheres and also watch pixar movies. I totally copy there eyes from Bugs Life.

I love the attention to detail (like the scales!)...
are you using a white pencil to add back in some highlights? I used to do that way back when...when I sketched on grey paper...
And might I say that, once again, I love your eyeballs!
Great characters!

Very cool sketchwork. I, too, am a student of Pixar. Nothin' beats them!
I like the idea of carrying around a sketchpad. Right now, all I have is a huge pile of sketches...it would be nice to have them contained.
I particularly enjoy the mono-eye, mustache, drooly-tooth, claw grip, underwear monster. He's awesome.
These are hilarious!! You are awesome with monsters and strange creatures. I like the one-eyed crab best, he looks kind of French.
