Now we've done some work around the lips and we've done, refined this area here and we
have refit this area here, but one of the areas that we haven't worked on is this little
area in here. It's kind of a transitional area and so on you your figure as we've been
carving this became a little harsh so what I'm going to do is just come back in here
with my carving tool and just kind of smooth this down flatten it out a little bit bring
it to the same level as everything else so that's it's not out of balance it doesn't
look too unnatural. So just kind of this is a smoothing just try to bring the chin so
it is not too extreme in the area under the lips and where this line fades out, this line
right here so we're just going to smooth this out a little bit from the back towards the
front and around that area along both sides. Just a refinement of the shapes around the
lips and actually this would be a good time for a little spoon tool rather than a thing
because what I'm dealing with is a convex shape. You can use all kinds of tools you
can use butter knives, kitchen knives and I even sometimes use a screwdriver but my
favorite tool obviously is a razor blade.
