Hi all super creative digital artists!

Do any of you know if there is a smart and easy way to fix a drooping eye? Maybe a turtorial? I'm running out of patience and options.

I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

Just playing around for 5 min. I duplicated the right side eye, flipped it, resized it and used the burn tool to adjust the lighting.

A good looking young man! I am sure he is far more conscious of the drooping eyelid than anyone who meets him.

My try. I used cage transform to create the shape and then on a transparent layer copied, flipped and rotate the left eye. Erased all except the missing part of the iris.

Perhaps taking a photograph from a little below his eye-level and zooming in from a greater distance may reduce the difference between the two eyes.

Not perfect; used symmetry and then clone/blend to taste.
