Even if I have a technique I plan to use when making a mask, I still like to view other peoples work. I find there's always a tip or suggestion, or another way to do something that helps me out. Thanks for this vid. It really helps watching someone else work, and see first hand the way to do these things.
can you use buckram for the whites of the eyes for extra vision? yes im not a professional on fursuit making but i know the basics and i am planning to make one starting maybe next year when i get the money, this is a great tutorial but i am going to use buckram for that extra vision
A few years ago, when I was making my first fursuit head, I bought buckram for my fursuit eyes and I could NOT see through it AT ALL. I ended up using plastic mesh with verryyy small holes. (It's actually VERY good for seeing through, but it's hard to color/paint) Are there different kinds of buckram that I should worry about? (I'm making my second head years later, and planning on using the plastic, but I'd like to know for any possible future projects.) I'd also imaging painting it would be a pain, unless you had VERY thin paint, because otherwise it'd clog up the "holes" that you see through. Advice from anyone would be appreciated!
It does, actually, thanks! For me, coloring the mesh with permanent markers wasn't that hard, but it fulled over time because the fixative i used didn't work in the plastic. Since I have yet to make the eyes for my second suit, I'll try out your method. ^^
Just a quick idea while watching this: I think one could glue the the fleece tube from the first part to the back side of the eyeball, then pull it through the eye socket after attaching them and glue the rest of the tube to the inside of the mask. This way it would provide a bit of pull to the eyes towards the face (preventing them from popping out from the fur) and completely separate the fur from getting into your eyes.
I'm absolutely amazed by how much time, effort, and dedication you put into making your art. I know it'll take years of experience, but someday, I hope to be a great artist like you!
also if you are going to use buckram for the whole eye make sure you get fun foam (cant remember the name of it as im in the uk) to wrap around the buckram to make it easier to install the eyes and make the following eyes
You're a fursuiting god ;-; lol all your tutorials help me so much. I'm making my first head and would be lost without these. Could you do one on a nose...? If you haven't already x)
I don't recommend sharpies, I used them for my first mask and in winter the colours started bleeding because of the humidity. My eyes were solid black and creepy.
i know this video is old but i just found this and i really enjoy it and plan on making my own costume and these tutorials really help but i have just one question why did you color the back of the buckram black. can i please get an answer thank you very much
VERY helpfull tutorial! :D Do you mind telling me again what you used to make the pupil? I can't really tell what you're saying >.< Thanks for making this :D
Reno - buckram fabric, painted with thin (but not watery) acrylics in light coats to not clog the holes. blow puffs of air at it as you're painting to get rid of extra paint. have a paper towel underneath for the spatter.
Blue hound Llama usually, you wanna have all the fur glued on first. First, most people usually shave down the fur, and so that the eyes don't get ruined in the gluing process (I've accidentally put the eyes in first before and I've gotten glue on them). It's just easier! :3
You can buy it via fabric stores (I purchased mine at Joann for $5/yard. Using calculations, you might need less than a yard; I got about 1/4 yard, which is less expensive!) It is under the name of buckram. I've heard you'll have to ask for it under the counter. You can color the eyes by painting the mesh with acrylic paint (layer by layer. if not, the holes will clog). :)
Love Killed That's really disrespectful towards the maker. They work HARD and labor for hours to make these suits. Many people also pay thousands for fursuits to be custom made for them, and you come along and ask for one for free? No.

The eyelids really are such a cute finishing touch for the eyes!
You're like a female furry Bob Ross.
FearlessFerret yes
Man, this is seven years old but still extremely helpful.
•Aspen• FC yeah!! It’s crazy!! I actually got to meet metrecies a few monthes ago!! She held a fursuit making pannel at vancoufur
What do I do for eyelashes? I'm a beginner and I haven't seen any tutorials saying what to use if I want eyelashes.
I *THINK* that you add it on the fur pattern
You can use fleece or felt to make eyelash shapes and then hot glue them onto the eyes.
I make eyelashes by taking pipecleaners and bending them to the shape I like around the eyes. I cover them in fabric and cut them out
Fleece
Do you have a diagram of what you have in mind?
It's just so I can get a general idea of what the design is.

try aida cloth :>
did you not color the back of the buckram

This way it would provide a bit of pull to the eyes towards the face (preventing them from popping out from the fur) and completely separate the fur from getting into your eyes.
Can this also work for a full surround, such as an eye socket? I want to add some depth, and an aggressive, yet cute look to my head once I build it.
Holy cow I watched this 9 years ago and this decided to show up on my feed today
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HELPFUL THIS ACTUALLY WAS. X__X
Best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you :-) I've always had trouble with eyes.
That nose! I love it!
ikr
So helpful! Making some static eyes just like these with the eyelids and all for my boyfriend's penguin head :3
I'm absolutely amazed by how much time, effort, and dedication you put into making your art. I know it'll take years of experience, but someday, I hope to be a great artist like you!
How would you reflect on this statement 6 years later? I hope you became a great artist lol

What materials do you use for coloring the eye?
May Rain I would recommend Copic markers, but they're quite expensive. And alternative could be very thin paint or sharpies.
I don't recommend sharpies, I used them for my first mask and in winter the colours started bleeding because of the humidity. My eyes were solid black and creepy.
Alcohol based markers or some sort of paint.
I love your fur suits!!! So kawii
i know this video is old but i just found this and i really enjoy it and plan on making my own costume and these tutorials really help but i have just one question why did you color the back of the buckram black. can i please get an answer thank you very much
if you put black on the back it helps you see better through the buckram
abigail conn thank you that is what i thought
T-MAN no problem
I will be using this technique this week on my next commission :3 I just LOVE this look
yet another extremely well done tutorial, thank you for this matrices
Wow, that's one smaaaaalllllllll glue gun!

Lost Wish mine is the same size as hers if not a lil smaller (im talking about the blue one not the pink one)

I have the exact same glue gun. They work quite well for being so teenie!
So helpful!! Love the part about eye lids, been looking for a tutorial on them but oh my god the nose on this suit o0o I want to touch it
What did you use to color the interfacing/buckram
Saridim i think she used acrylic paint
Copic Markers
Just can say best tutorials ever =3
Thats so cool! I am in love with your style!!!
Thank you so much! 1 I could not find any good 2D eye tutorials. 2 I didnt know wich celeant to use. THANKS!
You saved my fursuits.
Lol.
how do you draw the eyes? I'm bad at drawing eyes, also that is a amazing nose
I make paper patterns and trace them onto the buckram so they are both the same shape and size.
Yayyy!! , esperaba este video para descargarlo :3
Greetings from Chile
the eye color's a marker the spray is a fixate to keep the color from bleeding and running
Thank you this was very helpful
do you have to use the foam sheets on the whites of the eyes or can you leave them as just the buckram for extra vision???
As for the eyelids, would that method work for Resin eyes? I know next time I'll stick with foam heads >n
wonderful tutorial. Very nice performance and well organized ^^
This video is so relaxing idk y
This is amazing! I'm still unsure as to what the material you use to see through is called.
:P
Amazing, however!
Is there any possible way to make an eye removable so you can have different expressions?
How did you paint your eyes?
i have one question. how well would this work with foamies instead of plastic?
How do you have the time to make suits when you have to put on all those bracelets?
Really great :D Thank you!

Why don't you add the eye before the fur?
Blue hound Llama usually, you wanna have all the fur glued on first. First, most people usually shave down the fur, and so that the eyes don't get ruined in the gluing process (I've accidentally put the eyes in first before and I've gotten glue on them). It's just easier! :3
Can u make a video how to make fursuit eyes with lashes please ?
How did you spray on the eye colour....?
Thank you! Awesome as always. ^^
She said buckram and sprayed it with three coats of matt finish spray to protect the paint from flaking and chipping off
where did you buy the buckrum, I really need it
*Buckram. You can get it at Fabricland are lendsmill Store (In my area) .....( Canada )....

Sorry that you never got a answer for 8 years, but just poke tiny holes in it.
What kind of animal is that?
Looks like a border collie
Gravity Greek Geek i think it is it looks just like one

Where can you find buckram? I live in Canada and I've already checked michaels and I can't find anything, if anyone can help that would be great :)
Omg! I live in canada too and im just starting my fursona!
I found it on the Joann's website

Ugh I love this
where do you buy your fur?

Awwwh pretty husky

how do you install follow me eyes?
Where can you get that plastic mesh?
You can buy it via fabric stores (I purchased mine at Joann for $5/yard. Using calculations, you might need less than a yard; I got about 1/4 yard, which is less expensive!) It is under the name of buckram. I've heard you'll have to ask for it under the counter. You can color the eyes by painting the mesh with acrylic paint (layer by layer. if not, the holes will clog). :)
where did u get the white eye thing
First of all, watch part 1. Second, its a plastic bucket from Dollar Tree.
GreenGalaxy I said Nvm :) no need to flip out.

Love Killed That's really disrespectful towards the maker. They work HARD and labor for hours to make these suits. Many people also pay thousands for fursuits to be custom made for them, and you come along and ask for one for free? No.
How is that disrespectful? all I did was ask if I could have one no need to be mean about it. Why do you have to be rude about one little question?
Love Killed i explained it. I'm not writing it again.
