The dark substance comes in different forms some are hard while others are soft—but overall it offers a quick sketching experience.

During the post, I will focus on the front of the figure. Keep in mind that I am more focusing on how to do the measuring yourself instead of giving you certain measures to use all the time. Which doesn’t seem right. For the maximum benefit, I will also give some additional tips about the face, though that alone is worth a post on its own.
