MY CHARACTER UPDATE:
I started the face my and created it using Adobe Illustrator. Today, I added the eyes and pupils using the ellipsis tool. I created the nose, eyebrows and basic mouth using the pen tool. To create the shadow I transformed the shape, chose scale and copy of the original head (dark green). Then, I scaled the copy version down and changed the color to a lighter green.
