Once we feel out how the head is going to shape up and we get it in proportion, I want to come in and stick my thumb in here once I've got where I want the eyebrow to be and it's basically like a pinching motion and then I'm just kind of pressing this down just to get the depth cause the eyes actually set into the head. Sometimes you see people with large protruding eyebrows and others are a little bit softer. With this I'm going to just kind of make it a little bit more pronounced, not cave mannish, but so there we have that. And I'm just going to pinch this and I'm going to set these in a little bit more so when I add the eyes it will make more sense. And those are shaping the eyebrows.
