    Video Transcript

    "Okay, what we are going to do now, is put a little bit of the slot, the dark slot, where the eyelid is up here. Now, when you're putting in really fine lines, it's important to get a little bit of thinner on your brush and then work it back into the paint. You don't have to do the whole line. Just make a suggestion. Then while I have got the black on the brush, I'm going to redefine the outlines of the cornea some more and make the pupils the same size too."
