Unrelated, but can you do a tutorial for eyes?
Sure! Here's a lil something I put together, hope it helps!
And if it's difficult to read I'll go ahead and put my steps here in text:
Step 1 -
Basically to start- We'll be using 3 main colors. You'll be only using these 3 colors throughout the whole process unless you wanna add on some extras for flair or preference.
Step 2 -
Using these colors, I outline a set of irises along with the pupils. Then I fill in the eyes with what will be considered the character's main eye color.
Note: When the sclera is darker than the character's eye color I tend to use a color darker than it for the pupils and irises.
Step 3 -
Using the darkest color, and on it's own layer, you color 1/3 of the eye on the top. You'll then set this layer to "Multiply".
Using the same color of the irises, also on it's own layer, you'll color over the bottom of the irises and pupil. This layer will be set to "Add/Glow".
Step 4 -
Set both layers to 30% opacity, and blur until you're content with the results. I also recommend changing layer opacity of either if you think it fits the eye colors better.
Note: Sometimes I'll add an extra "Add/Glow" layer if I really want to make the eyes stand out or glow.
Then on a new layer I'll add some shapes and lines in the eyes to give a little shine. This layer will be another "Add/Glow" layer. Then it's set to 20-30% opacity.
I'll sometimes use other shapes other than this in the eyes to show off different emotions. Though, this is the one I conistantly use.
Note: I didn't mention this in the post because I forgot to do so- but you use the same color you used for the irises for this step!
Step 6 -
Then finallly I add some light reflection, sometimes adding in an extra glow to them if I feel like going the extra mile to do so.
Anyway, that's basically my current process!

I've never gotten asked on something like this before so if it looks wonky it's very much because I'm not used to doing this lmao
Now I'm gonna go skitter off to cause more chaos.
