I shaped air drying clay spheres that I let dry until the core is also hard (depending on size, it can take between two and seven days...).
Then I drill a hole and attach it to the limb with wet clay. Let dry. Sand to correct shape.
Then I cover the round joint with plastic food wrapping, apply new clay on the corresponding socket, and shape the socket by pushing the wrapped joint in the wet clay. Let dry. Sand to correct. Check posability by putting the elastic in.
Repeat until working fine.

Yep. But It was all for the sake of being able to put 8 mm. The head is currently too small for this kind of all sleeping eyes. Maybe I'll try this kind of stylish face on a bigger one. It should be even better. 
I don't use eye beveler, but I do have the same kind of spherical tools for my Dremel. It works as well.

Je vais sûrement poster des photos du proto entre temps, parce que ses genoux sont pas finis etc. Là . y'a en gros 50% du boulot de fait seulement... T_T

C'est juste des pastels secs normaux.
Du genre de ceux-ci: [link] . Ca se trouve dans n'importe quel magasin d'art (à des prix variables selon la marque et le conditionnement, ou simplement à l'unité, bien sûr ^^'). Moi je bosse avec les moins chers que j'ai trouvé et ça marche très bien. Il faut les frotter sur un papier pour obtenir une poudre qui s'applique ensuite au pinceau. Par contre, il est impératif de sceller avec un vernis mat avant et après application, sinon ça ne tient pas.
