# 202020. Set the
size to about 20
click around the
inner areas. For
the small part at
the neck use size

the edges changing
the rotation. On

don't want it to
be all the same.
Little whisps here
and there. When

filled. Now click
around the inside
till it is all filled
in. Also change
the size here and
there so it looks
natural.

a different look.
