I'm younger than 15, and yup, this is basically my first head. I had another but it looks like a donkey's rear end.

So I decided to use the plastic canvas method. I have found tutorials, but the decent ones

-like the one on Matrices.net- are very hard to follow while the other tutorials have been proven

to be much more brittle. I have 12 sheets of about 1" x 1' 4" plastic canvas. very transparent, and the label at the

top says, 'Darico'? I don't know. I have bad eyesight. Anyways, I was looking to see if anyone could help?

Maybe someone could point me to a nice tutorial that is easy to follow and stands agenst the elements?

I was also wondering if anyone could show me any pictures like http://www.iaza.com/work/111209C/iaza16579356247500.jpg, http://www.iaza.com/work/111209C/iaza16579320226100.jpg,

And if the plastic canvas I'm using is an acceptible type?

Sorry for my lack of grammer. I'm rather off today.

 

Thank you for your viewing! Hope you can help!

This AC Forum Sticky post has several useful links within it that may help you out in a faster time frame. Particularly the Fursuit LJ link that Origamigriffin posted on that sticky post (just scroll down five or six replies). That LJ also has a lot more visitors with costume construction in mind and can help or critique. It's a great reference place and contains a lot of links to other very useful sites.

I personnally don't like working with the plastic mesh. Many have used the plastic mesh in their masks very successfully.

Hope that helps.
