In a tigers mouth.

I am becoming very intimate with the mouth of a growling tiger.

 Though the foam armature gives me a base for the sculpture there is still a great deal of sculpting to do. Because the sculpture is in pieces. I can work with the head of the tiger on a comfortable table instead of while balancing on a ladder.

Searching through reference of tigers I find myself becoming intimate with the snarl and growl of a tiger.  Of course their are several looks of a tiger with their mouth open, some give me reference of the teeth and tongue but there is a great deal of difference between a yawn, growl, snarl, and roar.

The foam is carved to add more detail
