You should make a tutorial on noses, muzzles and ears. First time around, my muzzle looked like a duck bill! So a muzzle tutorial would definitely be really good out of the three! Also, a tutorial on lining would be great! Like the head lining and paw lining. I know it looks straightforward, but a tutorial wouldn’t hurt
I made my first tail (deer-tail) and it goes in the right way :3 I'm happy about it...today I'll make my 1,45 meter long tail (After school) ....and I'm 1,54 meter tall :3
I literally just taped, patterned, and ripped off patterning to trace on to fur today and DAMN. I wish I would have been on RUclips earlier today to see this. :(
If you’re head base is really symmetrical, you will only need to tape one side of the base! This saves tape and you can just flip the pattern over for the other side. If the design is different on the other side you will need to tape the whole base, but if it’s not you can tape only one side to save some tape. :) Also, thank you for making this! I used to have a really hard time tapping my head bases, I wish there were tutorials like this when I was starting out. Thank you again!❤️
I know some of these are old but; I just want to say thank you for creating the content you do to help us new makers have something to help guide us through the process- honestly i don't know where i'd be without you so I just wanted to say thank you
I love how you do your tutorials! You talk about what your doing, and you explain how it works and show it too, which is really helpful. And you have music in the back to which is entertaining
this made me feel so much better about this step in making the head!!! i was super nervous as i wasn't sure where certain seams should lie but this totally eased my mind! thank you!!!
thank you so very much skye. I've been working on my first partial fursuit for nearly over a year now and i've been struggling so much on how to properly get the pattern and get proper ducktape cutting. my first try I messed up on the fur direction so I had to scrap the fur and have to wait to get more fur to get proper fur direction. Also you're tutorial videos have really helped me so much that I can't thank you enough plus I love the content you bring and I know i'm not the only one but you've inspired so many people including myself so I just wanted to say. Thank you so much,you're an amazing person and keep doing what you do.
Hey! Love your work! Could you create a tutorial of how to create a head with horns (Gazelle-type horns with a wolf head) I’m working on my original specie’s head
I see you are still directly applying the duct tape. May I suggest using saran wrap to avoid any accidental foam lose? You would also not need to throw the tape onto the newspaper, though that is more cost effective.
Thank you so much for making this this will help so much for my first furry fursuit because my first-ever fursuit was actually a cardboard fursuit and I threw it away but thank you so much for this it is going to help so much for my patterning
I hope i get a fursuit headbase for Christmas, but, love your tutorials, skye! EDIT: I got one and i’m furring it as i watch this! I also got into danganronpa!
Thinking about making a head. The fur I got is very handy cuz if I brush it alot in a direction, it will go that direction. If I brush it in a different direction, it will go the new direction
Too dark to see my dog but I was confused about the ear fur direction thing so I was just feeling her ears for a while randomly. Wonder what she thought.
I’m starting a ManoKit names Freyja and her face will be made of minky. The only trouble is the shield emblem in the center of her forehead. It’s a 4 quarter circle made of two different colors. Would I do the patterning the same way you did this suits eyebrows?
i really want to commission a fursuit from you at some point, the good thing about having to wait is that it allows time for you to impove so what i thought looks good on your suits now could get even better later when i can buy from you
hi sky!! I love your suits, they're so cute!! I hope to commission you soon, and if I do, would you be willing to do a blind suit up for me, putting me in the suit? XD, you have a new sub btw too
For Fur Direction Think Arrow dynamics Than everything'll kinda fall into place after that and make sense.. well it Did To me but idk That's What i thought at least lol
I have question. *This goes to anyone who would know how to do this*. Pouncer is a snow leopard, and she has spots with little spots inside. * I wont make the spots to terribly small* but what would be the best to make them. Airbrushing I thought about, but I won't be able to wash it without it bleeding. What do I do?
To make it easier to get the ductape pattern off, wrap the head in saran wrap 1st then apply the tape, trace your pattern and then cut it off, keeping the saran wrap on the sticky side of the tape.
@@SkyehighStudios Really? Im trying it out on my current head as I have mobility issues with my left hand and end up with a sticky mess trying to just straight up duct tape. Ive wrapped and taped it twice just trying to figure out where to put my darts.
I honestly thought making a fursuit was harder than it is... Thanks Skye for always being awesome! For that you get a strawberry 🍓(My main fursona is named Strawberry)
Of course! You can use any color of masking tape, as long as you can clearly see the Sharpie markings. I'm using blue masking tape with a silver Sharpie.
Maybe a tutorial on a fursuit body in detail. Where to cut and the best cuts to make to make it easier to sew ect. Thanks for the tutorial it's awesome
hey skye! you should make a tutorial for arm sleeves for the people that don't know. or a tutorial for a certain style head base. ex; cat, dog, bird, etc.
Me with a completely white fursona: *needs to watch because it’s Skye*
Me 2
I say its still a good idea because fur direction is important
LMAAOOO ME (I have an albino rat fursuit I'm making)
My fursona is white with black/grey "spots"
Lmao me with an albino cat

Oh my god, my muzzle also looked like a duck bill at first.
Same!
I’m making my first head right now, mine, looks weird as heck-
my first suit that i made had a duck bill as well, i recently fixed it but i think everyone did this
Lol my muzzle looked like a duck bill before I figured out what she meant by "cutting a slit in it and filling it with flue" xD
Just remember to trace the pattern the right way onto the fur. Made that mistake once already. XD
I made my first tail (deer-tail) and it goes in the right way :3 I'm happy about it...today I'll make my 1,45 meter long tail (After school) ....and I'm 1,54 meter tall :3
@@demonprincess1030 how did the tail come out?
Wowie that would suck! I've never done that before and I makes me wonder how I the heck it would happen but I'm sure I'll do I accidentally one day XD
I did that with my first pair of paws 😂
I literally just taped, patterned, and ripped off patterning to trace on to fur today and DAMN. I wish I would have been on RUclips earlier today to see this. :(

That’s only if the headbase itself is exactly 100% symmetrical. Not just the pattern~. There will be imperfections with the fur otherwise~.
This was some perfect timing. My head has just been taped, and I've been thinking about this exact topic. :D
I hope it turns out right
Good luck for your fur !
Same lmao

Skye:"Look at your dog."

this was so helpful! tysm! now i just need to cut the fur and hope that it fits the foam base qwq
I’d love to see a tutorial on the new way you make head bases.
I've been needed this for so long,thank you skye!!!
thank youuu. this was rly helpful. im trying to really learn how to do this before i try for the first time.
I see you are still directly applying the duct tape. May I suggest using saran wrap to avoid any accidental foam lose? You would also not need to throw the tape onto the newspaper, though that is more cost effective.
Wow looks amazing can’t wait to see it all done nice job
i didnt expect this to help and i was just gonna run it as background noise but im so glad i watched this before cutting up the tape omg
I needed this, thanks and keep up the GREAT work!!!
Thank you so much for making this this will help so much for my first furry fursuit because my first-ever fursuit was actually a cardboard fursuit and I threw it away but thank you so much for this it is going to help so much for my patterning

Do u happen to sell foam bases? because I can do everything else but I really like ur bases.

Would this work with a kemono suit too?
How would you make a bucket head base without a balaclava
👍
Hi Balto!!
To make it easier to get the ductape pattern off, wrap the head in saran wrap 1st then apply the tape, trace your pattern and then cut it off, keeping the saran wrap on the sticky side of the tape.
I find when you do that you end up with a really loose fitting pattern which is less than ideal for a smooth finish
@@SkyehighStudios Really? Im trying it out on my current head as I have mobility issues with my left hand and end up with a sticky mess trying to just straight up duct tape. Ive wrapped and taped it twice just trying to figure out where to put my darts.
OMG ITS THE WIGGLES
I honestly thought making a fursuit was harder than it is... Thanks Skye for always being awesome! For that you get a strawberry 🍓(My main fursona is named Strawberry)
It's way harder than it looks.
@@Razor_18 yup
My problem is that the notches make my pattern too small for my head :/
a tutorial for the shapes of the foam that makes it read wolf over fox or cat over dog...
Would it be good to use white masking tape so I don't lose as much foam peeling it off as well as more visibility for the pen markings?
Of course! You can use any color of masking tape, as long as you can clearly see the Sharpie markings. I'm using blue masking tape with a silver Sharpie.
What if I take the pattern off and then put it on newspaper and cut it out and then see if it still fits but if it is too big, is that a bad thing?
Do you do suit commisions? Just wondering because your AMAZING!
She does do commisions
Who else is excited to see the completed Nova?

I have a question is it ok if you cute the foam in the process of cutting out the duck tape?
Most of the time you can just hide it with the fur! One of the beauties of it xd
