Fixing Pet Eye - The Finished Result (Cat Example)

In this example I had to modify the shape of my brush and paint carefully. Then I used the eraser tool to clean up the black paint that went outside of the eye area onto the cat's fur. I used a slight amount of Gaussian blur on the black paint layer to blend the pupil into the iris. I also had to guess at the glint location. When in doubt, the center of the eye is a good bet!
