"O.k. as we've refined that lower lip now by cutting away that which isn't the lip, this part here; what we've done is we've made this bottom part of the chin appear to stick out. We want to make sure that chin doesn't stick out that much it comes down at a more tapered angle. So we'll remove some of this excess under there the way we've been removing everything else. Carve away and bring it down to the right shape. I'm just going to scrape away till we get it closer to where we want it. And then soften the, soften the corner. And generally make it more rounded and smooth all around. So it looks like it's made out of flesh instead of some hard metal. Much better, notice the chins a little bit off on my drawing; I'll take a little bit more away. And check it against the side, that's looking about right. And looking much more believable as a person, the front as well."
