The "Eyes" have had it >_>

While waiting on an order of dolly hair to arrive, I went back to work on a project that I started in December. Long story short:

How is the best way to get her eyes back on her face? XD This project is my first time working with Blossomforth and I am having some major issues with her eyes. I want to use the original shape, but so far she keeps coming out with two eyes that are WAY off of each other (they just look horrible). I've tried drawing in the eyes with pencil first but this shape is just really unusual to me.
 
Also on the topic of eyes, how is the best way to remove just a little bit of paint to help even it out, as in, I went just a tiny bit outside of the eye. Enough that it is noteable. Thanks!

I use tracing paper to put my eyes back on but of course you need a pony with eyes to be able to trace the eyes from one to the other or maybe yon can trace one from your computer. I use a knife to scrap off any paint left over or acetone on a small paint brush.

I hadn't thought of tracer paper. I have an extra Blossomforth head that is hanging out in my bait box, and I'm fairly sure she still has her eyes lol. I'll have to give it a try because I'm getting no where so far. I'll also give the knife option a try to get rid of those little paint spots. Thanks for the suggestions :)

I always pencil them in, but the G4's are still a little hard for me.  So I usually make sure I have a pony with factory eyes nearby so I can look at it for a guide. :)
