"Alright, to start off making our clown, what we're going to do it, is we're going to have to find a subject. And as you can see here, I have chosen Miss Natalie Portman as I usually choose with all my projects. I don't know why. Let's go in and create a new layer on top of this, with nothing in it, no fill layer. And we're going to reduce size just a little bit. And what this is going to do is we're going to go ahead and define what our clown is going to look like. Now let's see, let's make her, this is what we're going to do, we're going to give like, we're going to go ahead and give her, let's take modes in normal, 100 per cent, hit D for black and white on our pad. Black's going to be front and center. We're going to give her the Bozo the Clown treatment. So, Bozo has these big white eyes up here like so. And it's the same bit over here. This is just for an outline, just so we know where we're going to be going with our colors when we start applying them. So if my lines aren't straight, I'm not too worried about it. And Bozo has the big smile, like so. And even has a little dip down right here. Cover the whole chin, like so. Well now, I think we've got a good start going here, so what we're going to do is pause in here and we're going to pick it up in the next part."
