Need Help Shaping Head

Hi, I want to create a simple dog head using Dynamesh. i have gone through the Dynamesh tutorials but I am still not sure how to create this properly. I guess I want to know what tools or brushes will will allow me to “form” the peanut shape of the head?

3 ZSpheres then Adaptive Skin then Dynamesh if you want.

Thanks zber. Actually I have a cylinder already and just need to make the middle smaller/narrower. Any idea what brushes or tools would be best to make the middle narrower? I’ve tried the deformation tools but was wondering if another better method might exist.

Excluding ZSpheres, In general what are the best tools to allow one to shape large forms quickly to get a general shape?

If your cylinder already has rounded ends (like a pill/capsule), you could probably just use the inflate brush on either end to great effect (or reverse it, hold alt and deflate the middle). Using symmetry during this can help out as well if the model can support it.
