Armature

Before I began the sculpt of the wolf's head I needed to make an armature. I Began making the armature out of blue foam, and mounted it on a piece of MDF. I then padded out the shape a little more with some foil. Once I had the basic skull shape I decided to vac form it. My reasoning behind this is the fact that I have bought some taxidermists wolf teeth. When they arrive I want to be able to see if they fit inside my skull cap structure. I therefore thought If it was a shell, that I would be able to see if they fitted before I moulded and cast the final skull, and possibly make asjustments before it's too late.

I am now using the vacuum formed skull shape as my armature and am sculpting on top of it.
