Pattern problem - again

I try to sew the tiger figur.
I drew the face on a paper and one of the problems I have is to sew the face I drew.






(I trimed the mutton chops, because the longer part will be longer fur)

The other problem is the pattern itself. And to sew it. The parts look very flat. For example the muzzle. The nose, the left/right muzzle and the jaw look like one ball.

The face isn't symmetric, but this is because the figur isn't symmetric as well.
For the next tiger maybe I need to use the right side also for the left.


The next problem is - making paws. I want to seperate the toes and the two toes (middle) are different parts. But they are still really flat.

(I used the tiger figur to make the pattern)




Another one is the white fur around the eyes. It's also really flat.
The whole face looks like two balls. One big and one smaller.


Can someone help me? XD

(The black parts are made with a pen - just so to see a bit more tiger in this thing)
