I was asked a question about attaching muzzles and so here is another two-bit art lesson.
I usually start with a sphere, dividing it into quarters by placing a line down the center of the sphere and a second or "eye" around the middle.
In the case of a horse or similar muzzled animal, I will place a second approximately quarter-sized sphere in front, centered on the center line, but even with the "eye" line.
In the case of a fox or any sharp snouted animal, I use a cone instead of a sphere and strike the point of the cone off to make the end of the muzzle.
The trick, really is to think in three dimensions and treat that point where the center and "eye" line meet like the cross-hais of a gun. Where they point, the animal in looking.
I hope this helps.

All these would be nice made into a PDF file along with your explanations.
I don't guarantee actually managing to get anywhere, but if I finish one off for my own purposes, would you mind if I run it by you so you can perhaps post it up as a complete lesson if it looks okay to you?
