"Ok, so using the same brush you were just using to do the polka dots on the bandana, get a little bit more black and you're going to be creating an eye patch. So this is really fun. Kids love this. So, just turn the head a little bit, kind of, you can make the eye patch however shape you want. I love the classic fold. Just like a shield over the eye. Now, you want to be careful with kids' eyes, but you can get pretty close to them without getting in there. So, I'm just going to draw right outside of it and then fill it in. I think this is probably the more popular faces among the kids after "Pirates of the Caribbean" came out. Right over the eyebrow, nice and thick, filled in. Now, continue filling in the face however thick you want the black to be. I usually like it a nice light black. Keep their eyes closed. You want to be very careful and not get too close to any juices of the eye; that's never cool. So, alright. Now you need the attachments of the eye patch, which you can just keep bringing back into the side of the head. And then go and pull into the bottom of the bandana like it's coming out of and from the bandana. So, here you go. Clean up any loose lines and you have the face mask of a pirate eye patch. So that's just starting off."
