Video Transcript

"Now, I'm going to start defining the eyes a little better. I know they're not perfect at this point. And realized that the cornea of this one needs to be shifted over to the right some. And the pupil needs to be a little smaller. And we're going to have to move the pupil over to the right as well. Now it's such a small space. It's going to be hard to pull up any color. So I'm going to have to go over it with white in order to move the whole cornea and pupil area over. See it's starting to look better at this point. It's still a little tall as far as the pupil goes. I'm going to define that better."
