9. Detail the hair with a series of short, curved lines that meet at jagged points. Detail the face by drawing the eye. Use three curved lines to sketch the triangular shape of the eye, allowing the lines to extend past the forward-facing short side of the triangle.
Darken the eyelid, and draw several successively smaller ovals at the front of the eye. Shade between the two smallest to form the pupil. Draw a curved line parallel to the top of the eye, defining the lid. Use a pair of curved lines to draw the eyebrow, pointed on each end.
