You can go ahead a choose an eye color to match as well. This could be personal preference, but I have found that working from top to bottom is the best way to get the face I want.įirst, you’ll want to choose a hair and skin color since a lot of your other choices will be influenced by those. Note: My advice is the same for creating a male character, but you’ll have a few different options, such as facial hair.
