Don't want her fetching anything  Grin Actually that is the way she was when she expired mouth closed branch hanging out.  Anyways no more oak leaves there gone.  I used a form from Van Dykes, not really sure how to make one?  I have adjusted the ears (as much as possible, she has huge ears), tried putting more detail in the eyes, adjusted the brisket area, gum line along the mouth, and painted/glossed the nose.  She looks much better, thanks everyone.

Your brisket and arm pit area looks mutch better. Your eyes still look really sunk in like you have to much clay in the eye lids especially your lower one. Your ear buts need more deffinition and they are to long. But all and all its not bad for your first. Your nose is to black and looks painted. reference is key

The ear butts look attached to the back of the head, they need to come forward allot. Eye lashes need to point downward.

the ears need to be pushed down to about half of what they are. also put some definition by pushing down with something like a lip tucker (where the blue is) again use some referencing and i think they nose problem is his form

Take the paint off the nose its not ready to paint if the mount is still wet. Study your ref. before painting again as it looks painted.

Yep, I see that guy really goes through lengths to make it clear.  Which is good as I am a slow learner.  Well it may be a little to late for my doe, she will have to stay this way looks like.  But I will definitely order the video.  Looks like it has some really good stuff in it.  Hopefully the next one will be better.  Thanks

The first problem is that god awefull form from Van Dykes.  I bought that exact one a couple years back and when it arrived I could not believe how bad it is.  Btw I still have it, someone pay the shipping and they can have it for free.  Mark
