Filling, sanding and filling in the gaps in my designs

Scales with filler

Reference image for under bottom jaw

Bottom jaw detailing

As I have been levelling out my scales, I have strayed from my photoshopped design whilst drawing reference from a vast number of crocodile photographs. This imagery has particularly helped me with the under section to the bottom jaw, as I have not drawn my designs to show this viewpoint. Whilst carving in detail, particularly around the eyes, I have use regular car body filler to reinforce and alter the form of the foam. I have also added fine filler between the scales, where the blue foam is flaking or has holes in it. By giving the head a smoother finish, I hope that fine detail such as the marks defining the gums will be more visible, as the model will require less coats of latex to fill in the faults.
