"Hi! I'm Erin and you're watching Expert Village. Today, we're going to be working on how to do a bruise. We've done our bruise, but we really need to go back over and see if there's anything else we need to do. Here, it says a little bit streaky. I'm not really happy with that. We can probably drag the redness down a little bit more down here. Let's just go back in with a little bit more stippling, or even just a little more color with the sponge. We'll take this and come around. I really want to get up there in the eye area too. Then go back with the blue. Maybe a little bit in the middle. Just blend it out. It's kind of looking a little veiny in there, so that's good. Keep it a little bit darker. Maybe put a little more darkness right there where the eye is. Maybe add a little bit of blue. Maybe too much blue. Little bit more red. You've just got to play with it a little bit. Also, you can just keep going back with your stipple just to texturize it and blend some more. Make sure there's no streaks. Alright, there we go."
