"Okay, on this part I'm going to be using my medium-sized gripped brush and I'm going to be filling in the outside of the face; just a really good outline. Just keep a steady hand. It works really well if you keep your hand on the face or just use your pinky to guide you. It makes it a lot easier to get a steady straight line. And if it kind of starts blotching up, don't worry. Just get a little bit more water and a little bit more paint and it always makes the line more even. Just outline the nose but don't get it up into their nose. You can kind of curvex the side of their nostril; makes it look really strange and dimension filled. I'm just going up into those feathery spikes I did at the bottom and making them a little bit fluffier looking. Now there's your outline."
