Making the blockout of the Husky

 The most important thing while working on a living creature is getting the anatomy and proportions right. So before I started to work on anything I needed to feed my brain with as many references as I could. I created a pin on my Pinterest and started to add lots of pictures to my collection. Here are some examples. 

After gathering those I started working on my blockout. I have used the method that has been shown to us in class, which is starting with primitive shapes such as spheres and cylinders, stocking them together to get the general form of the animal. I also took it a step further and made some small adjustments to the shapes with the move tool at this stage, to get a more accurate look. 

After I was happy with the general shape I dynameshed everything together, Zremesh it afterward to get rid of the ugly sharp edges that have been created, and then started shaping the Husky with the move brush.

Since Huskys are very furry dogs, it is unnecessary to start sculpting the musculature that is not going to be visible, but I do need to keep an eye for the shape of the legs and paws.
