Q: As with the rest of the body, the tongue and nose can be broken down into larger planes to plan out the form. Once you have them looking as if light is shining on them, go in with even finer details. To make the snout look wet, look at your reference for the placement of small, bright, hard highlights. These are called "specular reflections". They occur where the light source is being completely reflected off the surface. Note that the "white" of the eye is rarely white under normal lighting conditions because it is recessed into the head and cast into shadow by the skin around it. Capturing these shadows is the key to making the eye appear to be set in the face and not just painted on the surface. Small, bright specular highlights give the eye a glassy sparkle. The ears are composed of a few large planes that turn up at the edges. Be sure to establish the forms before adding graphic elements like spots, and remember that the spots are affected by the light and shadow of the plane they are on as well.

Q: This will either be two or three holes depending on the size of your skull plate. Place the holes where you want the skull plate to sit on the plaque. Near the top or in the middle of the plaque are the best places. Use the thickest part of the skull plate, as that will be the sturdiest part to hold the mount in place. These will need to match the size and position of the holes on the plaque. Insert drywall screws into the holes you just made, and into the holes you've drilled in the plaque. These should be strong enough to hold the antlers in place. You can use leather, felt, velvet, silk, or rubber to cover the skull plate. When you cut the material to cover the plate, make sure to add an extra half-inch around to wrap over the edges of the skull. Make sure to cut holes for the antlers as well. Stretch around the plate to cover the part that will face out, and secure on the back with tacks or staples. You can switch the order between this and the previous step. If you secure the antlers to the plaque first, and can't wrap around the back, use decorative brass tacks and nails to hold the covering in place. Display your work proudly, somewhere to remind you of a good hunt or to impress guests. Make sure you use a sturdy hanging tab, or a flush holding bracket, to keep the plaque in place on your wall.
