"Alright. This is the last step we'll be doing. We're going to be doing a bunch of detailing here. Basically this is where we go through and you know; kind of just finish everything up. Normally what you would do at this point also is you would start to give it some, you know, dimension and shading. You would give it a light source and then shade accordingly. Kind of a tricky thing. So we won?t do that for now. We're just going to basically just finish her off. Give her a nice complete look here. What you can do is just kind of add just the little details that make up the overall look and we'll give her, you know, some clothing definition. It's where you go in and make sure all the little lines and bits are drawn in properly. You know fix the things that could maybe use a little bit more definition. Basically just kind of brush up everything. Finish up the character. Make it look nice and neat. Just kind of go over your drawing with a fine tooth comb. Fix any details that sort of been bugging you. Give her, you know, the right definition in the right places so people can see, you know, what they ought to be looking at. Even give her some shoes. Shoes are shoes I think. Just give her some nice sandals. There. Don't go too crazy with it but yeah, basically we've got it. A full fledged, fully developed character that you can obviously take and do different things with. You can give her different looks, poses, outfits, whatever. Depending on what you eventually want to do with it but, you know this is a good place to start from. And, you know, there you go. Basically from here you can draw any wide variety of female characters for whatever it is you're doing. Comic book, cartoon, whatever, so there we go. That's it. Thanks for watching."
