Step 1: Get Your Setup Right 📋

Your PixieCraft arsenal:

• the details shade (shadows etc.)
• massive fill (coloring)
• final light up (eyes, highlights etc)
  

Pro moves:

• Center outward = perfect symmetry every time
• Tweezers are your best friend for face details
• Double-check before ironing (no take-backs!)
