1.
Upon request, here's how I added color to the eyes.
First, 'Set the Foreground color' that you would like to make the eye's. (I used '#1B9DE7')
Next zoom in on the picture and using the 'Elliptical Marquee Tool (M)' make two selections
to cover both eyes, as I have captured below.

 |
|
2. Next, go to the 'Layer/New Adjustment Layer/
Hue/Saturation' menu item.
|
 |
|
3. Next, because this is a 'New'
adjustment layer, the next screen prompts you with a few more options. The only one to
be concerned with here, is to make sure to check the option 'Group with Previous Layer'.
(As I have captured below.)
|
 |
|
4. You'll be prompted with the 'Hue/Saturation'
control panel, and from there all you need to do is check the 'Colorize' feature to the lower
right of the panel. (As I have captured)
All this will do is use the 'Foreground' blue color we set earlier and 'Colorize' the selection.
|
 |
|
5. So this is what the image looks like now.
|
And this is what the 'Layers Palette' looks like.
|
|
However, if you zoom in on the eyes again, you'll notice they are not quite a perfect fit!!
Just a few more steps to clean this up.
|
|
|
So all you need to do is, keep the zoom in place, have
the 'Hue/Saturation' adjustment layer selected. Hit the 'X' key to set the foreground
color to 'Black'. Then select the 'Brush Tool (B)' and paint/mask the excessive areas of blue.
TIP:Using 'Black' color 'mask's' (hides), using 'White' color reveals.
This concludes how to get color into the eye's. If need be adjust the 'Opacity' of the 'Hue/Saturation' adjustment layer for a softer affect. |

Here are some alternative colors.
