This video was requested in the comments. I did two short videos before on creating eyes and this one is a bit more elaborate with comments and narration.
I use symbols to create the eyes using basic shapes, tapered lines, and a lot of Gaussian Blur for softness. The idea is to create a setup that is flexible and easy to adjust. Fewer nodes and more shapes mean quicker and easier editing. I chose an exaggerated cartoon look but the same approach works for realistic eyes as well.
I uploaded the Affinity Designer source file of the 6 sets of eyes I created for the video to my Gumroad page. Download it for FREE by simply adding a 0 [zero] in the price field:

![Inkscape Tutorial - Animate in Spine - Caveman Game Character idle and walk cycle [part 3]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qI3YBAs3iVY/mqdefault.jpg "Inkscape Tutorial - Animate in Spine - Caveman Game Character idle and walk cycle [part 3]
This tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com continues the redesign of the caveman game character from the two earlier videos.
The video shows how to arrange and export the parts in Inkscape and take them into the animation tool. In Spine, I set the key pose, add the bones and create a simple idle and walk animation.
[Spine can be found here: http://esotericsoftware.com/ ]
The same can be done in similar software to Spine. Spriter or Dragon Bones come to mind [skeletal-based animation and editors are also implemented in some game engines].
