Learned a lot from this Video guys I’m doing my nose pads to the letter like this and it really upped my finish game thank you for putting this out there

[@jptillman83]

Awesome detail.

[@jasonnester9514]

I just need to learn how to get the inside of my nostrils to look better like this mine look ehhhh but can be better

[@dennisdooley9673]

What do you cover eyes with

[@timothywostarek9680]

What is the reference book that you were using to show how everything is supposed to look?

[@prestonstanton8497]

What bottle and tip size do you use?

[@jimreimer6140]

That peach color must be a regional thing. I don't think our deer in Canada look that way.

[@DonnyBanzz]

Why do you paint the hide around the nose and face and stuff? Bc if that’s not what the deer originally looked like then why change his look with fake stuff? Like if his hide was white or light brown then why color it black or a dark brown? It just doesn’t make sense

[@americanwildlifetaxidermy6207]

The paint is mostly used just to color the skin underneath. When the hide dries it will be an unnatural color so it looks blest to match the exposed skin with the hair color around it. The excess paint is brushed off the hair and natural blended look remains

@@americanwildlifetaxidermy6207 oh alright thanks for letting me know, I wasn’t tryin to be rude I was just wondering, bc if your changing the appearance of the animal then it kinda defeats the purpose but thanks for fillin me in on info 👍

[@MaxS535]

why not cover the nose in a layer or two of shellac or poly? their noses are naturally wet

[@jasonnester9514]

What color did u use to paint the nose

[@denniscooper8258]

Bill Yox's nose pad gray from Polytranspar.

[@jasonnester9514]

Dennis Cooper Do you happen to know what they used to wipe off the excess flesh colored paints in the nose

[@denniscooper8258]

@@jasonnester9514 If I were to guess, I would say they applied some lacquer thinner to rag and lightly wiped off the excess, leaving the flesh colored paint in the crevices. I think they were using lacquer paints in their air brush and not water based.
