I don't understand how or where to start with making the head ;-;

start with measuring around your head and using that circumference cut a rectangle of foam, from this you can make the dome you see in the tutorial. hope that helps

I feel like an idiot for not knowing this...but how do you see if the back of the resin eye is opaque with nail polish?

Hi there, your not actually looking through the eye itself, sorry, i should have explained. you are looking through the tear duct, the black netting that the eye is placed on.
even if the eye itself was clear resin you could not see through it as resin distorts light and is not like looking through glass. hope that helps.

Okay. I knew it wouldn't make sense to try and see through the eye, but I wasn't sure how that worked.
Lol, I had to make sure I could see 'cause my mom was like: "If you can't see out of this thing, I'm not gonna let you wear it."

Ho-oh. I'm just making the head, not a complete fur suit...

huh... i like this! i will use a balaclava hood because it is easier to work with. or so i've heard.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i personally dont like balaclavas, they provide better movement and a more realistic head base though and i can see the appeal in them.

this is going to be my first fursuit, so i want it to be as good as i possibly can.

thank you! and since i have enough supplies for two masks, would anyone you know like to have a mask?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not really sorry.
you will find it difficult to sell a mask without a portfolio or gallery with other masks in it. i would say make your first and then make another of the same creature and try to improve any methods.

both. i think in this one i hand painted.. but i airbrush as well..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
when you handpaint does it harden the fur?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, both airbrushing and handpainting hardens the fur, then once dry i use a dog brush to brush out the clumps and the fur is left stained the colour you want.

ah ok thank you i will keep that in mind

X3 I <3 Jim Hwnson, so sad when he died. Everyone wore green D:

the only thing that bugged me was you had the direction of the fur on top of the muzzle going towards the nose... the fur should actually go away from the nose, up to the top of the head.
other than that, looks good
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah i know, thanks anyway ^-^ i wasnt looking at the fur direction but now i do
but thanks for the heads up

Very cool, may I make one suggestion though.
When making the tape pattern just make one half of the head, trace it out then flip it to do the other side, that way it elliminates any asymmetry particularly when doing complex patterns, not that you seem to have any trouble with that =]
