    In desperate search of videos, tutorials for recreating ear muscles. I don’t like the plastic preformed ones. I want to make them out of clay. Any help is Greatly appreciated. Point me in the right direction

    Thanks

    It really helped me years ago to invest in some food ear cast also . That way you have a 3 dimensional image of the earbutt .

    You can skin out your next deer so that all the ear muscles are intact. Then move it around and take pics of it for 2D reference. That helped me a lot.
