Video Transcript

"OK, right now I'm going to start to work on the edge of the nose. And the color tones I'm going to need are going to be the darker almost full strength color, with a little bit of white in it. It's going to be what we're going to need and we need the fine brush. So I'm doing the outline of the nose, the nostrils and the outside bottom edge of the nostril here. And the nostril is a little darker than this so I'm going to have to pick up a little darker color. Like add a little bit of Burnt Umber in there which is a dark brown. But we don't want very much in there. And a little bit here too. Right on the outside edge of the lighter tone."
