Use BBs or I just fire some small sculpture eyeballs to place in the sockets. Its way easier to sculpt around and the eyes stays perfectly round.

Ummm yeah like for a BB gun. Idk if I'm spelling it correctly or not shoulda googled it first but I'm lazy sorry

Yep either BBs or you can roll a small ball of clay and use that once it's hardened. Although BBs are nice since they are uniform and a pretty good size.

Eyes drive me crazy also , I've been experimenting with a few different ways. Some people seem to use BBs as mentioned and then sculpt the eye lids over whilst others seem to add an oval shaped piece of sculpey to the head with the eye shape hollowed out and then out of the oval piece shape the whole eye and eye lids with it.
