Need some help on how to pin animal's eyes back

Hey, guys. I'm new to the forum and just purchased gonzo and animal. I've seen some posts about pinning the eyes back. I would like to do this with animal as I think he would look much better with his eyes opened up a bit more. Does anyone have instructions/pics on exactly how and where to do this? I don't want to risk damaging anything, so hopefully someone could help me out. Also, the white plastic eyelids are too visible for my taste. Can the eyebrow hair be pulled down without causing any damage or ripping? I've heard about using a black sharpie, but was hesitant and was wondering if anyone has pics of their results.

Welcome to the board! Honestly, the easiest thing for me was just to cut a small (like 1/2") square piece of paper and fold it until it's really small. Then I put that into the eye (between the eye lid and the eye) right by hinge. The thickness of the paper stops the eye lid from moving and is barely noticeable – if at all. It's a great way to do it without damaging the poser in any way.

Hope this helps!

Get long black craft fur from a craft store and glue it on. It is much better then a sharpie.
