"Ok. Now, we're going to work on the outside shape of the face. Make sure it's correct. We want to cover up any of these darker lines of the pencil. Might as well get them covered at this point. Let's lighten up the neck here some. Let's throw some white in there, lighten it up some. See, it's looking better already. Scrub it in there. That's perfectly fine. Let's throw some white right here where the white highlights are where the light's hitting it. Maybe, put in a little bit of raw sienna. And, then I see some areas in the eyes that I can define a little bit better."
