Hi guys. I swear, I would love making fursuits if furring wasn't so ridiculously hard for me. I've basically tried furring three head so far. Each attempt is always better than the last, but so far the most promising one has also got me the most frustrated.
I've read tutorial after tutorial. Matrices, Razzy_Lee's, older videos that aren't up anymore, just everything. I make ducktape patterns, I reverse them, I sew darts, everything. little to no seam allowance on the fabric itself and tight sewing...
ANd some how it still doesn't work! I don't get it! The most recent head I'm working on has some fairly promising shape, a few bulky bits but it was great for practice. Most of the sewing has gone along fine up until the moment I had sewn one of the cheeks. I placed it on the base to test the seating and low and behold I've got the most massive bubble you can imagine. There are also places where the fur doesn't fit the nooks and crannies like they should.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have absolutely no idea. I'm about ready to just hang up my hat in defeat. Any final tips or advice? Because I'm at a total complete loss.
