Now that I've got the basic concept or the basic light drawing of the face, now I can start to pull it out with light pressure on the pencil. So I'm going to go back in, and I went a little low there, but that's all right. So I'm just going to indicate the eye lid. Get a little bit more detail on the tear duct. Come under here and draw the bottom part of they eye, the outline, there. And get the eye lid there. For the nose, you know you can say a lot more with the nose just by doing the nostrils and then come in and outline just the edges right here on the nose.

And so this is the light pressure part of this exercise.
