Bronze Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Sculpture

The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier is a breed of dog originating in Ireland. There are four coat varieties: Traditional Irish, Heavy Irish, English, and American. These dogs have a single coat which sheds very little hair, so they can be more easily tolerated by people allergic to other breeds.

Dog sculpture head detailing for the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier

I finally detached the head from the body and adhered it to the tilting table. The tilt table allows me to access hard to reach areas.

The head section is still somewhat rough and will require several more passes in order to add the detail.


Tool used to add the hairline texture for this commission.


On the first pass I added somewhat rough hairlines to see if I was going to be happy with the overall look. Lucky for me it was a very hot day here; therefore, the clay was on the soft side for this procedure.


Just by viewing this image, I can already tell I need more relieve on the beard section.


Once I am happy with the over all look of the fur texture, I will add a few lose hairs over the nose and perhaps eye area (not sure yet)
