In this tutorial, you're going to learn how to change the color of an eye.
It's actually really, really, really easy.
We'll be making this:
Okay, all you need is a good eye stock. You can choose your favorite one here:

The first thing you need to do is choose a really nice color for your eye. Don't spend too much time on this, as you can change it later.
After that, make a new layer, above the eye stock layer.
Next, set your brushes to basic brushes, choose the first brush, and set the size to 50 pixels. (Note: you may need to set it smaller.)
Start brushing around the iris. It doesn't matter if you hit the pupil (the black spot in the center), it will be fixed later. Try and get as close to the edge of the eye as you can.
Next, hit the eye button next to the new layer you made, and select the layer that has the eye stock on it.
Use the magic wand tool to select the pupil, then hit the eye button again on the layer you brushed on and select it. Hit delete.
Play around with the blending. On this image, I used darken, but sometimes soft light works really well. You can also change the color of the eye, by hitting the paint can, choosing another color, and filling the brushed layer with it.
Here's my result:

When you've finished, post your results!
