Description
My wife will be visiting her parents for the first time since the pandemic... this is the first of two pieces I'm prepping as gifts for them.

My focus was on getting better mouths / lips. I tried a different method of layering up the colours and structure for the teeth. I started with a sketched of the outline of the teeth and gums in grey. I filled in with an off white, then highlighted wet on wet with pure white. The subject here uses whitening strips and looks like a toothpaste model... for most people I wood probably layer a off white and offer white and not use the pure white at the end.
