Timberwolf Lesson Description

This study will teach you the versatility of the F926 texture tool.  Also in play are the pointed bevellers F902 and modified F910 which was taught in the American Kestrel Wildlife Study.  When you combine these three tools you can achieve fantastic realistic results unobtainable in any other way.   You not only can use this tool to form and shape the figure, but add a soft furry texture as well, giving you a realistic appearance when painted using my generic painting method.

Eleven pages, full color illustrations, showing step-by-step tooling and coloring instructions for the Timber Wolf.
