| CM Tutorial Page 3 Sculpting the Muzzle |
I just start out with a glob of clay stuck on the nose. Sometimes, you will need to completely cut off the whole muzzle, chin and all if you are shortening the face. No detailing at this point, just make sure you have enough clay on there, you can always remove the excess as you go. |
Here you can see I have put indentions approximately where the nostrils will be, and I have smoothed the top of the nose down to blend with the face. |
Here you can see a bit more detail after I played with the shape a bit and added the inside skin. Make sure you get your upper lip formed and smoothed out, add any little wrinkles and lines now. |

I have formed the nostrils and removed the extra clay from the sides and top, I have then formed the upper lip, and started adding a bit of detail and smoothed all the edges where the clay melds to the face. Make sure the nostrils are even on both sides and from all other angles. Have lots of reference photos to go by, nostrils can be many different shapes and sizes. |
Your results may turn out differently. This is only my personal basic guide to help you. |
