val 1a.JPG (13414 bytes) After filling the eye sockets with White, the iris is painted with a very toned Deep Midnight Blue plus White.  Tone the blue by adding a touch of Burnt Sienna and then some White.  Be cautious to follow the corret size of the iris.  the right one is smaller than the left.
val2a.JPG (12713 bytes) In order to set the eyes , one must float below the lash line with a dark color.  I used Deep Midnight blue and floated directly under the lash line, corner to corner.
val3a.JPG (13651 bytes) Paint the pupil with Black.
val4a.JPG (14413 bytes) Add reflective light from 3 0'clock to 6 0'clock on the iris.  Reflective light is several values lighter than the color of the iris.  Use the base color of the iris and add White to it.
val5a.JPG (10302 bytes) Add the highlight of White at 11 0'clock.  The highlight has a little tail which extends across the pupil.  I also begin the lashes.  Pay careful attention to the lashes.
val7a.JPG (14496 bytes) Notice that at first I begin the lashes by just adding a jiggy line of black and then I pull spikes out from that line.
val9a.JPG (13476 bytes) Fill in the nostrils with and inner mouth with Black.
val10a.JPG (13486 bytes) Paint the upper lip with Berry Red plus Burnt Sienna plus a touch of Fleshtone.  Paint the lower lip with the same mixture adding a bit more Fleshtone.  Float Fleshtone at the top of the lower lip.
