Video Transcript

"Now, what I'm going to do is work on the lip some. Remember, the paint still hadn't dried. It does take a long time. That allows you to work in it, blend it, change it, remove it, whatever you need to do to get the job done. So, what I'm doing is putting white on the top of the bottom lip for highlights. I'm just sort of blocking it in right now. It's going to be better and I'm going to have to redo some of the darker area. There's tiny little cracks in the lips that I'm working on putting in. And, I've got to reshape the lips too. So, I'm starting to use a two brush method where I've got the darker color on one and a lighter color on the other."
