So go up here to tools, click on teeth he’s already got teeth by default in there but we have a bunch of neat teeth sets in here, so let’s choose let’s give him a gap now this top roll of teeth are to far up so I’m going to click on modify and I’m going to bring them down just a bit and I’ll click on tools again and character to close his mouth. Alright looking good, looking good, I think he needs some hair so we’ll click on tools up here and then hair and let’s choose an appropriate hairstyle for him, I think this one will be good now you can then take the hair and fit it accordingly to the head, now I noticed his hair is too far up it’s not really touching his head so we’ll click on modify and we’re going to bring the hair down a bit and then maybe we’ll scale it down a bit as well, so now it’s really snug against his head. You can also go up and change the color a bit if you want, you can darken it a bit, change the contrast with view, a lot of neat things you can do but we’ll just darken his hair just a little bit, how’s that? Okay so he’s kind of looking like a roughneck young teenage kid right now."
