Not quite brave enough for eyes yet. Any c&c appreciated!

Looking good. Great shading, but you need to take that to the metals as well. You can treat them just like the rest of your model (shade and edge highlight).

Non-Metallic Metals are the new hotness (and for good reason. There are plenty of videos that go over how to do it. It might take time, but it’s worth it to try.

As for eyes, the best trick I learned was to paint the skin first. When you paint the eyes, use a magnifier (head or desk mounted) to better see what’s happening. Don’t be afraid of going outside the area when painting the whites, as you can just touch-up the skin.

I wasn’t brave enough for non-metallic metals either to be honest. Blending is going to be fun…
