Punching the head

This picture is the top of the head (facing away from the camera). I'm over half way in the hair punching process. For the head, I started at the base of the neck and punched the entire hair line (meeting the side burns and traveling over the forehead) and then worked my way inwards towards where I wanted the crown to be. I marked this out with a black piece of fibre - this was so I could always check the direction I was punching in the hair. I will take this black hair out at the end.

I used lighter hair colours around the crown edge and hair line to soften it and darker tones around the top of the side burns to create chop-like shapes that fell in front of the ears.
