I created another 'Bevel and Emboss' layer for the veins at the temple of the head using settings similar to those found on the previous page.Picking a deep green for the vein color, I used a hard edged brush and drew the squiggly lines at the temple. After dialing this layer down to a lower opacity, I went into those lines with the eraser and smudge tool (spacing on) to give them the appearance of getting nearer/farther from the surface of the skin. I also made a small vein on the ear.

Another layer was created for painting the eyebrow. Using a soft edged brush, I painted a solid dark brown to mark where the eyebrow would go. After smudging (spacing on) the shape around a bit, once I was satisfied witht he placement, I ran the opacity of this layer down to 10%.

I create my eyebrows in multiple layers. After studying them for a bit (do I have a life?), I could see that they are made of specific sections of differing directional hair flow. Look at your eyebrows in the mirror, and notice how some hairs flow directly in the line of the brow, others opposite of this, and some go straight up.

Starting on a new layer, I used a hard edged brush equipped with a dark brown color to paint the small hairs that go straight up, closest to the nose. Creating a new layer on top of that, I painted hairs that went away from the nose at a '10 o' clock' direction. Creating a layer on top of that, I painted 'wispy' hairs that flowed perpendicular to the nose- almost pointing straight to the ear. On a new layer underneath all these, I lightly painted faint hairs that flow around the more prominent hairs of the eyebrow.

That's my eyebrow in a nutshell... the diagram below may explain it better. In that example, each layer is indicated by a distinct color:
