Learning Blender: A Hands-On Guide to Creating 3D Animated Characters

Eyebrows

Creating the eyebrows was pretty simple. I selected three edges on top of the eye that had the eyebrow shape. I duplicated and separated them in a new mesh. I extruded them up to have some shape and thickness, and moved the vertices around a little to create the eyebrow’s shape. Then, I applied a Solidify modifier with a little thickness before adding the Subdivide Surface modifier. It’s important that you keep an eye on the modifiers’ order: if you apply Solidify after the Subdivide Surface modifier, the result will be completely different. In Figure 7.31, you can see what the eyebrows look like.
