Soft Edges and Hard Edges in Portraiture

I think it's important to not go too crazy with detail, especially in a child's face.  The lines on their face e.g. smile lines and under the eyes, should be very soft and smooth with no hard edges.  Make sure these lines are in the exact place as they help to determine the likeness in a portrait.  I re-check them after my initial coat of paint.
