Tip: Pay attention to the width between the orbital and temporal fossa, the shape of the orbital is the inner corner of the eye is high, the outer corner of a low oval.

02 with clay[Clay] brush alt key to the cheek part inward carving, first the cylindrical teeth carved out. Then use the clay[clay brush to hold down the ALT key and carve the mandible, as shown in the figure (right).

06 with clay[Clay Brush Press ALT key to internal carving, from the temporal fossa began slowly to the brain transition, as shown in the figure (right).

08 hold down the SHIFT key to relax the ear. Use the trimdynamic[to combine the ears with the skull as one, as shown in figure (in).
