Airbrushing the Body

I spent the morning before I airbrushed the body of the wolf attaching the head to the body. I stitched the head on as seamlessly as possible to help with the continuity of the fur. I felt that with the head attached I would be able to get a better colour reference when dying the body.

Like I did with the head I began the airbrushing process on the body by dying the backing of the fur. Once this was dry I concentrated on airbrushing the body downwards. I began with a coat of black. I lifted the fur and aibrushed the roots as best as I could. I then moved on to a brown and black combination, attempting to create a darker stripe down the back. I finished with a lighter brown towards the edges and a black tipped tail.

Here are pictures of the process.
