Well,
all I can say is sorry I didn't get many pictures between steps. But what
has happened is I have carefully begun to carve out small scales in the
head and then very carefully brush them down with water. The key is to
be loose and not to worry or put too much thought into this kind of detailing
so it doesn't look to synthetic. You want it to look natural and organic.
So stay loose and go to town. Also you will notice a small texture stamp.
I like to use a combination of stamp's to build texture as well. The stamp
you see here is from brushing latex on a mushroom. Again, keep a sharp
look out for what nature has to offer. Now you can see some carved in
detail's on the creature's left back. Along with the mushroom stamp I
carve in detail so thing's don't look to synthetic and have a natural
feel. Try not to rely to much on texture stamp's. And here's another shot
of the right side of the head and I just keep adding some detail and blending
it in. No secret to this!!!! Just go for it!!!!
