Springer next step

My next step on the Springer, starting to work in details. I've finished the back started to do details on the left side. I'm layering browns, black, white and grays, adjusting the strokes to the length of the fur. I've started work on the jaw/mouth area, blocking in lights and darks with the same colors I used on the ear. It gets rather dusty at this point, and I've found good use for the blow-brush that came with my camera. Tiny little thing that effectively blows off access dust, keeping my colors clean. Being right handed I work from left to right, I find this keeps the colors cleaner, even though it means more thinking in terms of getting the values and colors right in the end.

Getting ready to start working the right side and the nose, and gotta decide what color the background will be. Maybe I'll do a soft green, we'll see....
