EDIT: I fixed the shape a bit and changed the white to real white instead of that clammy greyish color.

Ok then.

Step 1. Draw the outline of your eye. I drew this outline using the pencil tool set to curve not straighten, ..

Then create a new layer above this one and put a black pupil somewhere in the eye.

Step 2. Make a third layer, and put it in between the two layers already there. Select the circle tool and set it to black outline and no fill, then make a circle around the pupil.


Step 3. Select the fill tool, and in the color mixer on the right hand side, change it from solid to radial. Make the radial 3 colors, and make them (from left to right)#3D899C, #72AAB8, #364D7E. The left color should be all the way left, and the middle color should be about a centimeter away from the right side, and the right color should be all the way right - the color mixer should look similar to this: http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/9494/eye57gg.png

Here's my eye so far:

Step 4. Make a new layer, and put it above all three other layers.
Select the circle tool again, and set the fill to white. No lines.

Make a small circle on the edge of the blue part of the eye, a small circle.
Select the circle and go to Modify > Shape > Soften Fill Edges - Set it to
10 - 20 pixels, depending on how big your eye is, and 20 steps.

Voila!

The shape of the eye, and the colors I used are only the ones I used - feel free to try different ones.

the shape of the eye could be worked on alil better and also the reflection should be a little smaller and inside the pupil but other than that pretty good.

I changed the pictures and a bit of the text. The new pictures look much better...

ahh yes looks a bit cooler.. now add a small white dot into the corner of the pupil to add a reflection effect there.

Go to color mixer and click on the arrow... select radial...

It starts out with two colors - to make a third you simply click somewhere in the color line thing that the sliders are on, and move it.
To get rid of a color, click and drag it off the color bar slider thing.

Ehhh its really hard, Maybe I should practice more and get use to Flash before doing this or just practice.
