Hello, everyone!

Recently I’ve watched a few tutorials on how to make a fursuit head, and have decided that’s it’s a project I want to take on myself! I’ve never owned a fursuit before, not have I worked on anything this detailed of a craft in the past. Some simple cosplays that took minimal alterations from base materials, basic sewing and clothing repair, that sort of thing. But I took up painting miniatures several years ago and made good progress by taking my time and being patient with myself; I figured I could do the same here!

Does anyone have any tips for someone working with shaping foam for the base, or tricks for working with the faux fur once I get to that point? I’d love to hear of other people’s journeys, as well! I plan to share pictures of my progress as the head starts taking shape.

    Actually nevermind, I came across exactly what you’re looking for just a minute ago:

    there’s notably an article on padding there, so hopefully this should answer some of your questions.
