How do you make the fur lie so flat, and blend so well to the black base around say, the nose area? On some blanks I have seen, the nose is raised slightly so it's more levelled out with the height the fur adds, but it's not like that on these examples. And as for the blending, I just don't understand, how do you get it to look so natural / for the backing to not show at all?
