Chapter 9 Mock-up

 I photographed the mock-up without the beak but it doesn't look finished.  I prefer the second version.

 Mock-up painted with approximate colours and stitched indicated. Not all the paper is covered with paint but it gived the effect I want. 
I think the eyes may change after working some samples, but I quite like the stitches indicated on the mane.  these will be worked in toning and contracting colours.
