Thanks!!!!

i have always been a bit challenged when it came to a paint brush so i decided to try a different technique for faces.. what i do is draw mine on with non toxic gel pens, i find i can get better lines plus if you stuff it up it wipes off easy so you can start again..

the only thing i suggest is to let your head dry enough so that the pens dont indent the fondant when you start drawing, i also practiced on paper first until i found the style of face i was wanting....

here is my latest figure using the gel pens to draw the face on...
