Adding the nose and eyes

To add the details of the nose and eyes, we'll use the Inflate tool. We'll also explore a few more keyboard shortcuts to simplify the process. The steps are as follows:

  1. On the keyboard, type I to switch to the Inflate tool.

    Tip

    Strength is another setting that can effect sculpting tools. You may have noticed it under the Radius setting. Setting Strength closer to 1 makes the effect of the tool stronger, while setting it closer to 0 makes it weaker, with 0.5 being a happy medium setting between them. For drawing the nose, a dramatic change by setting the Strength to 1 will save time and effort and, fortunately, there is a keyboard shortcut for doing that.

  4. Press Shift + F on the keyboard to change the Strength setting of the tool.
  5. Move the mouse pointer toward the middle of the Radial tool to increase the strength to 1.00.
