- Hey everyone!
Ive gotten comments asking me to make a tutorial on how to make a headbase so here it is. Keep in mind I am not and WILL NOT be making any specific species in future tutorials. I am bascially giving you the layout in which I make my bases. You can change anything you like when you make your own fursuit heads. I hope you find this tutorial helpful!

I'm 11 my grandmother didn't approve of me being in the furry community for some unknown reason, but she recently stated that she could help make one for me for Christmas. Yay. âš (hello im 15 now :))
@@theuselessboii9751 noted, thanks.
@@theuselessboii9751 I turnt 12 in January lmao. And what does your mom thinks about it?

@@theuselessboii9751 that's great to hear. We love accepting parents đ
@@theuselessboii9751 ight I will
Sorry the audio is not good. i get compaints about it a lot. Its not that the music is too loud but actually that my voice is quite low and monotoned. I myself think i am speaking loud while voice recording until it gets uploaded to youtube and i find its a lot quieter than i thought. It just something i have to fix in the next few videos as well as just finding quieter musicđ Sorry again. i hope it dosent inconvienience the video too much
The video helped me a lot! Could you do one of how to cook the fur?
@@Matisadness do I want to know?
STOP IT. YOU HAVE TOO MUCH FRICKIN' TALENT!
give me some...
The audio is actually pretty good
That okay
Iâve probably already watched like a thousand fursuit tutorials
But this one
Just amazing
đđđ„șđ€đđ
Omg same here
@@xxforeverfaithxx905 Honestly, your skills as a teacher are as good as your skills as a crafter. You used excellent visuals and precise descriptions to help people create instead of only showing a build take place.
@@spejic1 omg thank you so much, i really try to make sure i can fit as much detail as possible into my videos to offer the best help i can đđđđ€

10:39 ad!
Woah đŠ
Damn, that base so smooth tho :O Great work!
Skye :O I didn't think I'd see you here, I love your suits!

Thank you so much Skye. Your work is stunning. Coming from you this is a huge complimentđđđ€

@@xxforeverfaithxx905 bruh this isnt foreverfaith and you are stealing someone elseâs art
You make it look so easy
I was thinking the same thing lol
Right!!
she's had practice.
I don't have the supplies đ
@@luvsx5703 starting out can be difficult, so its good to start small with some simple tails. then, when you sell them, you can save some of the money for bigger projects like fur suit heads :)
It seems you might save yourself many hours and benefit from some sanding equipment to smooth your foam, instead doing it with scissors. A lot of puppet makers will use a belt sander or just different grades of sandpaper sheets to round out and smooth their foam shapes! Anyway, thanks for the helpful video!
Definitely something I'd like in the future, i don't have the best set up of ventilation for that right now tho. But i enjoy cutting and smoothingđ
@@xxcreatorspacexx Well, you do an excellent job. Great attention to detail! (Whenever I make my first foam head this will likely be the video I use. đ)
doesn't this make a lot of foam dust?
@@lilliz8777 Yes. You would need appropriate safety equipment to avoid inhaling it, like a respirator or shop mask.
Yeah I was thinking about this
Iâm not a fursuiter, but this video is really helping me figure out the right techniques for a bulky cosplay Iâm working on. Thank you!
You are a legend.
Just wanted to make sure you've been told that
Yes
Accurate
YOU CALLED oh no you said legend sorry đ
@@legendsandtalesrandom8793 ?
Ye
Finally, a tutorial that I can full understand, the others leave me a bit confused and is what led to mistakes on my first base bc it was missing some things. But you explained it so well !!
Im so glad, i try my best to be as detailed as possibleđ„șđ„ș
just here to say that its awesome to see a black fursuiter, not very common to see other black people in the furry scene! i def subscribed and cant wait to see more of your work sis!
edit : also they way you make bases is literally the best so far, i need to start practicing!
Heck itâs so annoying to always see people talking about skin color, everyone is the same. No matter wich skin color and yes even tought your comment is not rude itâs still racist.
@@Rocky-hm2ho no negativity please :(
@@Rocky-hm2ho and itâs not racist in the slightest bit. Sorry that you feel excluded.
@@Rocky-hm2ho also if anything youâre the person thatâs racist for being upset with black people for feeling safer seeing other young black artists doing well for themselves... please donât be mean
@@jett.a racism is not only when white people say that black peoples are bad or stuff like that racism is when you seprate persons cause of their skin color. I didnât wanted to be mean Iâm just tired of people separating black and white
OMG look at Cindy with her big ears! She looks amazing! đ€đđ€

Thank you for making a cat-like headbase, as you can see my fursona is a lynx so thank you for this, as a young furry I truly respect this
Bro that crabâŠ..I needed that crab in my life lol
my fursona is a lynx too!
My fursona is a cat lol (ik I'm very basic)
This is amazing! Thank you for the very detailed video. My 11 year old has been asking me to make her a fursuit for a year. I am no seamstress and I donât want to disappoint her! Fur is on sale at the moment so Iâm binge watching tutorials!!! Your fursuit head is incredible. Wonderful work
You got this!
@@vapor3590 thank you! I appreciate your comment! I did make her a suit and she has been in love with it since the moment she first put it on. Of course she insists that she is going to save up and buy a suit from a reputable maker one day!
@@kellyjean4981 this is so sweet! youâre so supportive, and i hope you have the best life ever!
Woof
I'm working with my daughter to make a fursuit head, and this tutorial is amazing! How did it go with putting the fur on yours? Honestly, making the head base is fun and not very difficult, but I'm apprehensive about adding the fur!
I- honestly, I don't even care you sound so ducking wholesome and cute.
Somoene: donât cut corners
You: cut corners
Me: quickly checks whoâs fursuits are better-
When i tell you i was wheezingđ€Łđ

Itâs the gacha pfp for me

@@cadaverdoggs421 not you making literally no sense
Electric meat carvers are HEAVENLY when cutting foam

UNDERRATED AS HECK
YOU, my friend, are living in the FUTURE with that much talent at making a furry mask!!! This tutorial was absolutely worth it!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. It really helps. Lots of Love from Germany (Im sorry my english is not the best) :) Its the best head base tutorial. Thank you for that!
Your english is amazing
OMG thank you! ;P I really appreciate that :)
Your English is great! I wouldnât even know you were German!
@@geese-ette.6599 thank you so much! But my pronounciation isn't that good :P
@@kibasmoothie4396 itâs ok! Your just learning :)
Your video does two things very well:
1) It explains the thought processes and foundation, not the steps. Too many videos explains the steps of making a fursuit head as if there are hardset rules. Yours offers advice that can be applied anywhere with a little thought and creativity.
2) Youâre cool.
This is seriously inspiring me to try my hand again at fursuit making đ
This is the absolute best tutorial I've seen ever for the base
this is the first tutorial Iâve watched that was actually very helpful with getting started on the muzzle and everything else. I also like how you didnât try to get us viewers to buy custom patterns and whatnot from a store (because for me at least, the reason Iâm making my own fursuit head is cuz Iâm broke af). It was also nice seeing another person of color (Iâm Hispanic), great job and thank you for the video!
I really appreciate how you draw things out directly on the foam. It helps me wrap my head around the drafting/planning process that goes into it a lot more clearly
The fact that youâre watching Markiplier in the background... it lets me know youâre a qualified maker âđ
Hes going insane lol
I love how theres a Markiplier video playing in the background at 14:07 :)
Iâm not even a furry I just love watching people make this stuff :0
sameđ
Your in the denial stage :00
Jamila J. Davis pardon
@@Vn_323 Denial đ
Same I love crafty diy stuff
The most useful advice about muzzles that I've seen in any tutorials, very helpful!
sometimes i look at what im making and and think it wont turn out good, that i should just stop!
The "Hey Friends" at the beginning is keeping me going!
I swear fursuit carving is probably gonna be my favorite out of fursuit making. Many of my friends and family know I LOVE to carve things and watching these kind of videos makes me excited to motivated to make a fursuit base
I am preparing to make my first fursuit (granted, mine is going to be more of a kemono style), and this tutorial gave me a lot of info that I didn't really have before. Thank you so much for uploading this!
I see makers have all the little bits and pieces but I never can figure out how they got there. finally, someone who explains it! thank you!
you are amazing! this tutorial was really helpful. Maybe next video, if you want, you could make a dragon suit! I think that would be rly cool! How did you learn, anyway?
I learned through CZcams as well and kept practicing but making my own charactersđ„°
I wish I had this tutorial when I started fursuit making! The closeups of everything (especially the muzzle) are super useful
This showed me how to make a base that Iâm genuinely proud of. Thank you so so much! Your litterally a queen and deserve so much more â€ïž
I am Korean People. Thanks to your video, I succeeded in making a fursuit. thank you
I realized you suppose to smooth the base cheek first and then and the outer cheek. I will definitely use your technique with smoothing out. Since Iâm making my base by scratch â€ïž
ooh the outer cheek
I really appreciate this! It shows the general shape and layering youâre gonna need, very helpful!
Me looking at all the young furs in the comments: damn didnât know I had friends
Beginner head maker here - A lot of this is paying attention to detail. If there's anything I've learned from researching these things to the bone, it's that there's a pattern that a lot of people follow, and it may differ depending on the maker. Typically the order goes: Bucket base, muzzle, cheeks, eyebrows/forehead. Again, after that, it's a lot of attention to detail. Smooth things out, use references to match the shape as best as you can. Triple check things over to be sure that the shape is right. Also, remember, remember the utmost important thing? Have fun with it. It's something that you're making, and you're doing your best.
Me, who knows very well that I'll never be able to successfully make this:
*Interesting*
Update: Currently making one lmao
hope get it done looking good
đ
This is great! My latest foam head is way too heavy, but the carving isnât too bad. This tutorial should help the weight and speed up the process for me! Thanks đ
Onto my next project because that last one just ainât satisfying me lol
What foam material did you use?
I am honestly impressed with the amount of detail and depth the head had even during the initial stages
I just now watched this, I know I'm very late! This encourages me to try to make fursuit heads when I have the foam to and when I tell my mom
This is by far my favorite base tutorial, you make it so easy to follow both in the video and verbal instructions. Thank you so much! ;w;
Fabulous tutorial!!!! You're a very talented young lady! looking forward to what you make next!
This is very helpful!
I plan on making my own fursuit when I move out of my parent's house, so I am watching tutorials eagerly
This really helped me my fur suits looked horrible and I took you advice and now I have a cute fennec fox for a fursonađ
This is really interesting and well done. This is different from what I have seen but I love it
The feline head turned out amazing I honestly canât wait til Iâm older to commission a head from you your heads are so cute and amazing and I just love your style (hehe your a amazing fursuit maker and a amazing part of are community đ)
Thank you for showing some corrective measures. I really like your base style. Nice!
I've had the supplies to try this out just lying around in my closet for about half a year. Trying new things intimidates me, especially when there are so many skilled artists in this craft. But the knowledge this video gave me makes me feel like I can do it now. I loved the pacing and the detail-oriented walkthrough you provided for each step. The camera angles you showed also made it very easy to follow your method of construction. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this!!! Itâs going to help tons! Itâs answered soo many of my fursuit making questions and things Iâve had a hard time with in the past!
It really is Amazing to see the Progress đ
I love how stable and stiff your fur suit bases are! Itâs so awesome đ€©
This is by far my favorite tutorial, thank you so much!
This is so SMOOTH!! Thank you for this resource! Iâll definitely be using it in the future! :)
I like this tutorial alot! I'll use it when I make another base đ
Thank you very much.
I will try it, this video is so useful and I like these suits it looks cute.
Greetings from Palestine đ”đžđ
subscribing because who knows when ill start making fursuits and might need this more than i do other videos đ
The base muzzle looks like a good cat helmet, I just realized.
Being a furry is easy. Making a fursuit is hard
Brilliant â€â€â€ I love how you outlined the process
I love your approach to muzzles!!
I've looked at a lot of bases to see for feline shapes but a lot of them look like they could be a canine base anyway, just with a slightly shorter muzzle
I don't see that with yours! What would you say are the differences between feline and canine bases because yours look distinctly different and it's amazing
Muzzles are a big hint but it could be noses and ears aswell that show what animal it is
This is really helpful! Ty uwu
Yes! This is the first non-confusing tutorial! I can't wait to get making!
I follow you on tik tok!!! I didnât know you had a CZcams Iâm so happy! As a fellow Christian fur I look up to you so much!!đđ
God the foam for the muzzle when its looks like angel food cake I'm hungry now
when you started with the foam and the sketch it looked like an angry bird XD
Thank you so so much for this video! I needed someone that wasnt using ducttape to help me figure out what I wanna do for my fursuit! Im so glad I found you!
Man, people of color are just so smart! Out of all the tutorials Iâve watched, if the person is of color, itâs so much easier to understand than if a white person is explaining it!
The head is adorable! I love itttt!!! Do u think you can teach us to do a manokit?
one day i would love to work with you
This is so helpful!! Thank you so much for making this- I might use it in the future!
First fursuit head base tut to really help me, Iâve used a pattern for one of my heads and it turned out good, the next time I tried to make one from scratch and it looked awful, I tore that one apart so I could use itâs bucket head base for this tut, Itâs not done , still needs ears and horns but itâs the start of a dragon head base so this was clearly a versatile tutorial and so far it looks so much better than anything Iâve ever made from scratch, thank you đ
omg this help me so much Especially with felines you are a hero! also i follow you on ig ^^
Nice fursuit headbase tutorial!!
Omg lol every time I find a new channel your here đđđđ
I'm not mad it's just surprising
@@marrakesh_3589 Are you new to the furry fandom? Just wondering if you are....
@@aikkizthepinkwolf3375 I mean at the beginning of this year I joined so kinda
@@marrakesh_3589 Oh okay. I joined back in October of 2019 x3
@@aikkizthepinkwolf3375 the ironic thing is is that I hated furries like 1 Mont before I realised it was cool I don't know how it happened it was the click with furry irl then I think the first furry video I actually watched was the majira blue shelling video
Wow, out of all the ones ive seen you taught on a deeper level and this will work great alongside the other tutorials. It looks like so much fun.
I am making my VERY first fursuit, and have been watching your video's multiple times to make sure I'm doing thingd correctly. I'm currently in the middle of making the bucket head
The foam I use takes about 10 minutes to dry with the hot glue an itâs a pain to have to hold it until itâs done
I'd suggest using pins, it holds it well, But don't use the pins for anything other than fursuit making because they will have glue on them
How would the base be if you only used 1 inch foam? All I can get my hands on
Award to the best fur costume maker ever award
YES I FOUND THIS SO HELPFUL ik this video is old but I love creatorspaces work and I like how they describe making this!
hallooo, could you do a tutorial on just the snout of the fursuit, I'm having alot of trouble on that and cant find any tutorials
I'm saving my money to make my sona soon and i'm exited
this is really helping me i think this is a good tutorial
but one question
Do you have any tips on starting to properly getting into fursuit making, I struggle on paws mainly and I kinda need a few tips?
earnt yourself a sub :)
When it comes to fursuit making all you really need is basic crafting knowledge and sewing skills. You need to be well equip with reasearch skills as well becasue some people neglect to realize they have to find furs and different materials that work for them
@@xxforeverfaithxx905 thank you for your advice I'm defiantly going to do my research thank you
This is awesome! I love the way it looks and I cant wait to make my own fur suit!
I've been so scared about making my fursuit head and getting it symmetrical and shaping it, but your video had helped me a lot! I can't wait to start my head base! Thank you!
I really always wanted to do this but I still don't have any of that material so I keep wanting;(
I want and Everest fursuit from paw patrol pls donât ask why i like a kids show

hey so uhh.. I know the song is by NoCopyrightSounds but do you know like the actual names of them? I couldn't find them anywhere.
Very helpful and informative tutorial! I hope to get the materials and time to make a foam base myself. đ
Hi! Iâm a currently practicing fursuit maker and this tutorial helps SO MUCH! I did this with a previous headbase I was working on (which turned out really good), but I delayed that project for now because I had the idea of making fursuit heads where they purposefully look like someoneâs first fursuit head (lopsided in shape, asymmetrical, triangle ears and duck shaped snouts, etc.) Coming back to this video for a rewatch because this tutorial make such wonderful headbases and I needed a refresh. Thank you so much!
Me: * watching interesting video *
Wish: ohhh, i think you need BACON SOCKS!!! ONLY FOR 6$!!!

Just for context ITS NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS TAKE YOUR TIME ITS HARD
This is probably my favourite tutorial so far!! i have just started ordering materials for my first fursuit and will 100% be using your method. Amazing work!
