Before moving onto the the eye area
and the bridge of the nose, finish shaping out the cheekbones
and temples, and do a few more fine cuts on the lower features.
Cut the lower edge of the nose to have two lightly-curved
nostrils. Shape out the lower half of the nose, with a wider base
around the nostrils curving into a narrower, rounded tip.
Begin undercutting the upper lip to create the
gentle inside curve. Go slowly with this, and remove a little
at a time to shape out the upper lip. The inside curve of the
upper lip should be small and should only take in approximately
the center half of the lip.
If the cut to create the upper lip's inner curve
is started too high, you may cut away too much of the lip's prominence
in profile, meaning that it won't stick out as far as it should.
You don't want to have to recarve the lower lip and chin farther
back to bring the upper lip back out.
If the curve is cut to far into the outer portions
of the upper lip, or too high all the way across, you can lose
way too much wood on the outer portions of your upper lip, reshaping
the lipline, and changing the expression a great deal.
