Description

Celebrate the natural beauty of wild deer as you create magnificent woodcarvings of your very own.

Inside you'll find detailed carving patterns for whitetail, caribou, elk, bears, mountain goats, bison, and bighorn sheep. Beautiful 360-degree reference photos provide inspiring views of the animals from all angles, and color-coded anatomy sketches help you to understand how they move. The author offers expert tips and techniques for texturing, painting, and finishing, including hair tract woodburning patterns that show you how to burn realistic-looking fur.
