First Partial Advice

This is my first post on livejournal so forgive me if I do this wrong haha. I'm Quinn, soon to be fursuit making hyena!

I'm starting off by making one of my lesser characters, in case I need to sell him later, as a partial (because I am a minor and idk if I'm gonna be growing anymore)! I've only really had experience with making tails so far but I feel like I've been doing pretty good with it all!
(Examples of my tail work and character http://sta.sh/2259bagdfz8j)

Onto the actual suit, I was wondering if you guys could give me some tips and advice as to if this would be suitable (hehe) for a first time.

I'd be building it on this headbase https://www.etsy.com/listing/270669893/off-cast-canine-head-base-uncut-soft as I know how to work with foam enough to fill in the eyebrow and make a new nose but not enough to make a full head myself (I tried and it honestly just scares me to look at).
I'd probably be using fur from SyFabrics as I've bought a swatch from them and it seems pretty good quality! No fun-fur here! Which brings me to a couple questions.

Is working off a premade head-base good for begginners?

How much of each color fur would I need for him?

Could I take commissions using head-bases until I'm comfortable making my own?
