doodle dog eyelid modeling

i'm not a professional modeller but found it helpful using a torus to start making eyelids of this personal work character Barky.  using the torus helped with getting same number of eyelid spans on top and bottom lids - helpful for rigging later.  Here is some of the process (the topology is still a work in progress):

after roughly scaling/fitting torus eyelid to overall face (using eyes as reference).  for making the torus eyelid in Blender needed to specify number of edges to create and deleted unneeded back faces:

after adjusting some of the surrounding spans of eyelid so the torus eyelid could be attached to the main face - using vertex merging in Blender.  (also helpful using proportional fall off for moving surrounding vertices):

adding additional edge loops to ring loop to help with making blinks later.
extrude and scale interior edges:
Thanks for looking.
