FIXING

PARALLEL LINES

If you notice the

texture lines end up

too parallel, burn over

them with a twisting

jab motion to break

them up.

TIP

Create a smooth flow in the

areas where the fur changes

direction.

This transition should be

smooth and soft; avoid a hard part in

the fur. Fill in the texture. When you’re

finished, all of the fur should be burned.

6

Make short stabs, twisting

and turning as you pull the burner

through the carved texture.

Use

the small rounded skew. Don’t follow

the gouge marks exactly. Cross over the

gouge marks as you make the twisting

stabs. Knock off the high spots.

5

Carve the rough fur texture on

the body.

Use a

3/16

" (5mm) #11 veiner

or a rotary tool with an inverted cone-

shaped stone. Carve a series of lazy S

shapes and elongated C shapes. Avoid

carving parallel grooves.

4

Create a smooth transition

on the ears where the fur changes

direction.

Crisscross the center hairs

slightly to avoid making a defined part.

3

Add the fur splits.

Turn the heat

up and use the small rounded skew to

burn a few random deep C shapes on the

face, ears, and paws. This divides the fur

into tufts to create more a more realistic

texture and appearance.

2

Make small, twisting jabs with

a micro rounded skew woodburning

tip to texture the face.

This creates the

fine fur texture. Avoid parallel lines. As

you move down below the cheeks, switch

to a small rounded skew tip. Make smooth

transitions where the fur flow changes. Use

a large round tip under the lower lip where

the rounded skews would dig in.
