Okay I'm just going to refine a little bit on the nose for the time being. I don't have this well enough to find the nostril flare or the edge so I think I'll just come back in here. And now now that I'm working up close using the glasses magnifier is, its very helpful in doing this kind of fine refining. Just shaping it to fit the drawing so that it more accurately represents the character that I want it to be rather than just a generic character. His nose is a very important piece of his character. Its straight representing a part of his personality. He's a straight shooter. And so I just want to refine it a little bit and bring out this edge. That flare of the nostril. Make sure that that's clear. And keep smoothing it as I go along to see what shape I really got. Getting pretty, pretty close to what I really would like to see here. Just smooth. Working smaller and smaller as I go. Refine the underside here a little bit on both sides so that its symmetrical and I notice there's a little of the wax took away a little symmetry. I want to have this part of the underside of the nose show a little bit. And refine the shape of the nostrils on both sides. So that they're believable. Getting better. And a little bit better. A little smoothing on this side as well. Refining that nostril flare to match the other side.
