Contributing Member ClayB Posted February 7, 2010 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 7, 2010 Thanks Tom. I missed your reply somehow. I hate it when I do that! Here's a few pictures of how I did the long hair on the elk cow. It was all done with Bob Beard's lined point tool. I started out along the edges making impressions with the point of the tool. Continue overlapping impressions away from the edge. I made impressions with the back of the tool when at the bottom of an area that needed hair. Continue filling in the entire area. And here is what it looked like when I was finished. For the shorter hair on the elks body, I just used a hair blade in a swivel knife.

Hello ClayB, thank you very much for the great tutorial. I'm so sorry that I answer so late, but I haven't seen it. I was very busy carving horses after yaklady's Tutorials and have seen your tut. I will try doing hairs with Bob Beards pointed lined Beveler. I will be very busy in the next weeks. Have to learn how to carve horse eyes, nostrils, foreheads, muscles and now hair textures. But it is a lot of fun and I hope I will improve. Greetings Gisela Quote
