But i never was satisfied with the Result so i did try and try again until it fits .
I will try to find a solution by sculpting a Boar too and if you like that i will show you how i did the eyes .

Finally I can recommend you to have a look once more at other models of animals. How did those sculptors solve the problem?.
But at the same time you give the fur of the boars very large, thick tufts of hair. Thats also a simplification. An abstraction.
The 1mm steel balls simple pushed into place forms eyeball, then eyelid simple formed by whatever means you wish to use.
Just an odd idea Torsten.BB

For sculpting a "Frame" you can use an Injektion Needle as it is used for Chainmail .

Using the needle you may continue the experiment: sculpt 'angry' eyes for the fighting boars. And sculpt 'satisfied' eyes for the other animals.
Sorry , my English is too bad to describe the use of the Needle.

I speak german and am looking forward to a PM; that should simplify it to explain your techniques. Is that okay for you? And something else - i am a visual student. Sometimes photos say more than a thousand words...
