This little fellow makes me smile every time I look at him. He's in the early stages, but I hope to retain his optimism until the last touch-up. Right now, he's received his first coat of paint. As is my routine after the first coat dries, I examine him for rough spots and re-sand until he looks better. Then I do it all again. He doesn't have to be perfect (I like the little imperfections), but he needs to look good from 10 feet away. When he's ready, I put several coats of flesh tone on him, then apply the dark brown eyeliner, the pink interior of the mouth and the white teeth. (The jaw is not actually permanently attached at this stage).
