My newest canine!

</a>



It has been a very long time since I made a realistic canine head (more than 2 years I believe) and my canine mask mold was severely in need of updating.

Here is a photo of the clay sculpt work in progress:

I am quite happy with this head as it's essentially a culmination of everything I've learned over the past few years in regards to ease of use/finish/movement but still keeping to my idealistic/cute-realistic style that I've always tried to stick to :)
