[@rosexeno6151]

I’d love to see a video about paw making! Paw pads, shaping toony paws, claws, etc. :)

[@jacobbenson3620]

skylar yeah,me to

[@awsomelightningwolfaj173]

Rosexeno yeah that'd be so helpful!

[@joelmiller7755]

If you need to see a paw making video,head over to Mugiwara Cosplay.She makes amazing fursuit tutorials.

[@drawingindirt]

you right tho XD... wait... IM NAMING MY FURSONA JELLY BEAN >:3

[@rayacreates]

Currently going through this whole playlist of yours and I love how much you mention your own "mistakes" or first versions of things. It's really educational and good for people to know that they're not the only ones doing it "differently/ wrong". All the love to you Elk!

[@RadulaCastion]

I brushed out a bunch of yarn for longer hair stuff. Worked on making a mane for my critter but pretty restrictive on length.

[@meangirlsenthusiast]

my oc rigel (he's a birb) has a flat out wig, which i made out of yarn also! i didn't brush it to make a hair texture tho to make him look toonier.

[@sinyabun]

For my hair I used a wig (since the character has a specific style) and I sculpted the wig similar to what cosplayers do to achieve a permanent look ^^

[@burntalphabetsoup6772]

hey!! i know this comment is kinda old but do you know if this works on bigger furheads too?

[@Tori_digitalart]

@@burntalphabetsoup6772 it would if u find the right sized wig

[@GlowstoneWolf]

@@burntalphabetsoup6772 you need to get multiple wigs for larger heads depending on style

[@grill6076]

One of my favorite makers is notcoolkitty. She's really easy to work with and super nice and understanding. Her skills amaze me!

[@welluhm3426]

One of my fave makers is you, Elk Dragon. Just the way you do those eyes and the shape of the head and everything is just sooo adorable 💝

[@RealRoseus]

I'm making a bunny fursuit and I didn't know how to do the hair because it is all purple with blue stripes. This helped a lot! Thanks! :D

[@johnnyknoxville6814]

Lol south park furry boi

[@nordicpawsproductions465]

Love your cute little dragon that pops up in the begining of your videos. 😃

[@assassinscreedreallifepran1080]

My fursona is a cougar and I want to do a fursuit of him! That's helpful

[@NewClaws]

thank you for this!! I was going to go in blind on the hair tufts for this one suit im making but now i dont have to,, you uploaded it at the perfect timing too~ i feel so lucky

[@catgoeskek]

This might be a glitch i’m having, but it says there are more dislikes that likes? •-• i’m gonna refresh KZbin ***EDIT*** It’s still the same?? Who else is getting this? I don’t get it the video was super helpful and well made and your other videos do really well and the comments are super nice?

[@catgoeskek]

Shocking Wolf couldn’t you raid more deserving places like some of the weird art on fur affinity or e621.net (so much fucked up art on there)? It would be much funnier tbh. Also this girls just trying to make a living lol she’s pretty friendly compared to some of the weirder members of the fandom who put it to shame :p

[@catgoeskek]

Shocking Wolf also, if you were to raid those places instead, it would be a lot more noticed and may even encourage them to stop making their gross fetish-y borderline illegal yiff art :D

[@Vanhellthing]

For me there's more likes than dislikes

[@p1npr1cked]

I just see a jumble of numbers on top of eachother, my tablets broken with likes and dislikes

[@felrise3966]

Its the anti furs

[@ScalpxdArtz]

My character has very messy hair, so for my hair fluff i drew a buch of different points on my pattern for his fluff and he has the effect now. I figured this out while playing around while watching this. Thank you!

[@OMNIDADofficial]

These are always extremely helpful thank you

[@hykanari]

Battitude studios is a great maker and my favourite by far. they're super sweet people in general and their style is gorgeous. if you're looking for some they're great

[@blisswashere]

Ishiwowz I love them so much oml!

[@Gaideness]

Your videos are always so helpful!

[@taigatenko5135]

*How do you sew it*

[@taigatenko5135]

No but actually, how do you do it

[@stormthecat3190]

I dont know eather fam. That's what I'm trying to find out.

[@-elementarymydearwatson-3086]

Machine sew it, or hand sow with a ladder stitch

[@sdrre1925]

I would machine sew it and leave some room for your seam allowance so it's secure. If that's not possible I would use a ladder or a whip stitch. After you're done you'll have to carefully comb out the fur from the seams.

[@finch8703]

I think you mean how to sew it to the head? I want to know too

[@echodabirb1307]

My boi looks so good, thank you so much. ❤️❤️ I painted the fur first and I wasn't sure how it was going to look but it look amazing ❤️❤️

[@wintertriggersme6304]

when people use short pile fur for hair tufts it looks like a growth .-.

[@FloppyAppls558]

XD

[@dizld]

I really enjoy your videos, I love them! Your tips are really helpfull but there is something i never saw anywhere, how to sew the tuft on the head, or how to place the fur between the ears and the head like is it sew or glued? Same for the nose, how do you place the fur around it so it looks clean? And how do you place the black around the eyes and jaw like you do so it would look clean? If you could answer one or all of these questions it would be amaziiiing! I love your work, can't wait to see more! -Kii

[@candythefurowo1003]

my jaw dropped when i saw the fur in the background x-x

[@hybridcreations4263]

Hello Fellow maker!! :3

[@pinebarks]

Yaay thank you for this awesome tutorial!! Your my favourite maker!

[@BenjiBearPup]

Very helpful! You're actually pretty good explaining this! Break it down nicely and easy to follow. Plus you got a really relaxing voice! Seriously keep these up. They're really enjoyable! :D

[@SpoicySpooks]

I’m making an arctic fox fursuit and I’m going to make multiple fur tufts and make them removable and changeable because my character dyes their hair different a lot 💙

[@dergeilteufel]

It's a bean!

[@Catticus405]

@ElkDragon what’s the sewing machine you use?

[@DrakiniteOfficial]

Thank you! I was really wondering how to do this and didn't know where to start.

[@sweetboyollie9749]

Love the hat!!!!

[@bigred8097]

Your suit is very well made and I LOVE the Gravity falls hat!! ^~^

[@neoncolored6307]

I'm making a partial and the hair tuft is a different colour than everything else. I either have to order a huge piece of fur for just the hair tuft but I could order some 6cm x 6cm pieces as well, right? Or won't I be able to sew the pieces together then?

[@Olivia-du4ib]

This was so helpful!!! 💕 Could you do a video on how you make your paws?? 😍😍💖

[@disrepcloven4258]

Hi I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome videos :D this has been extremely helpful for me since I’m making a candy cane husky that has striped hair. So this was great and I love all of your videos so keep up the amazing work!

[@BassoonReedWater]

If your fursona has a very tall Mohawk or other very crazy hair, I would recommend using foam and making it attached to the head base, then fur the head base including the hair

[@s0rr03_]

I have a question. My cat character has a bob- like haircut. Can I use yarn wefts to make that instead?

[@bellahexdanna3220]

Lol yugiyo hair. I have a Lion like fursona, and that tip really helps me think about how I want his hair.

[@Jewel_Man_Kisser]

oof the mane would be hard... i think

[@furrybabbit350]

i know this videos kinda old but how would you do the edgy one-eye-covered hair? im only half way through the video atm but it hasnt been covered in the variants part

[@uselesstoothbrush3247]

I have a question, how do you sew the hair tuff to the head? Sorry if this is super obvious-

[@OpossumYT]

Thanks for this tutorial! My fursona has a tuft of hair and this really helps!! :3

[@sorinricardo2684]

Sooo do you just leave the pins inside? ;-;

[@crazyhyena1406]

Can u do a tutorial on how to do the fur tufts on your face. I'm making a lynx so yeah.

[@blackbirdwarriors7225]

your fursuit is so cute!!

[@KillerCharaGaming]

is it ok to use hot glue to put the hair tuft on the head??

[@gackpoid-P]

Thank you for this it made my fur suit more cute also its soo easy I did this on a budget and I still made it look good !

[@hickerystickz1949]

I was wondering if theres anyway to make a curl with your hair tuff? my other fursona has a curl but I dont know how to make it

[@pocketsizedviking4555]

Same send help

[@paranoidfurry58]

My bunny fursona has a bit of hair between her ears and she wears those little colorful hair clips because they look like sprinkles to fit her name(Cupcake).

[@_sunny_sunflowers_2789]

So how much would it be to buy a head , paws and a tail because I love you're suits!!!! Pls answer me because I would really wanna know!!😁😁

[@Rainbow__cookie]

You know its cold when a furry with a fursuit it frezzing

[@SorcererIno]

Did you make pocari's suit? The shape is familiar

[@snuffythefloof5448]

What about curled hair tufts? Would the foam method work?

[@zackthefloof3361]

What if you're doing it to a dino mask how could you do that?

[@Koifi5h]

You could probably do the same pattern thing but you could glue it down to the plastic instead of sewing! It may have to be reglued after a while of use

[@jellyfishmethod]

I can’t find any videos about how to give kemono suits the hair you see on most of them, can anyone help?

[@WestButWayWorse]

I've seen people make that you did but but a magnet in the hair flood and in the fursuit.

[@LuciesCafe]

How do we sew it in?! XD

[@Piperonis]

Omg that's what I was gonna do, thanks for the tutorial

[@BatpiaEmeritus]

Nice tip with the Yugioh hair thing. I've been planning on making another suit for myself based off Season 0 Yami Yugi. Been wondering what I should do for his hair

[@cookie_creations2162]

How do you sew the hair onto the fursuit head?

[@ariannasam6463]

Where did you buy your fur I’ve been looking for that same color (the sandy color) forever and can’t find it

[@raeshelmcleod307]

Dry brushing with fabric paint can do airbrushing looks without the airbrush

[@axrials]

I just hot glued the pieces together and used thumb-tacks to hold it together. Does that still count??

[@cinn0min_pop]

Uh if you want it to fall apart then yes lol

[@axrials]

My name is cool , it didn’t fall apart I used the thumbtacks to hold the fur together while the glue dries

[@janishughesfan56]

@@axrials i think they ment the hair would fall apart quicker than the recommended way to do this

[@axrials]

lilac yeah I was just kidding I’m gonna sew it together

[@sampostsrandomstuff]

How do u attach them to dino mask?

[@spermiarz9222]

Thank you it help me a lot with my fursuit cause i was thinking how to make a hair on the fursuit and now i know how to make it :3 I love ur fursuit its sooo cutee (i subscribed u uwu)

[@mythical1059]

I know in the video you said there was a way to have different colors in the hair. but if you want to have the colors blend really smoothly (like to make it look like they fade into each other) how would you do that. I was thinking you could airbrush it but I wanted to know for sure. Thank you for reading this!!!!

[@styx1137]

Yeah airbrushing or by rushing would probably be the way to go! I bet there are some good tutorials about making gradients of fursuits

[@styx1137]

*or drybrushing

[@mythical1059]

thanks for the answer! :)

[@pkeetrypt7654]

Could you maybe make a video on tips of how to make the type of hair that I can't really explain other than "surrounding" the face?

[@roul4842]

I'd love to try and make a head but the thing is... 1. Money 2. It is very overwhelming 3. I'm not good at this kind of stuff

[@cookie_creations2162]

I know what you mean, my first fursuit head cost almost all my money ;w;

[@AmarillodelBosqueVerde]

Try a Dino mask!

[@violetfantasy2537]

I made mine magnetic

[@kirbbys]

Using foam for mohawks works WONDERS! Using polyfil will just make it flop over from my experiences

[@luciayay2]

I NEEDED THIS VIDEO

[@rubyraptor4396]

I saw another technique when you brush the backing of the fur and the fur would come through the backing

[@adhdartist1994]

Are there any non-nylon fur?

[@lisalindsey9563]

Imma going to buy a suit from you when I has the money 💗

[@loganpaulvlogs7866]

Hi big fan of your work

[@zacharywood9416]

Thanks for posting! I usually do foam hair tufts but I’ve been trying to get away from that technique so this helps immensely! Is there a certain stitch you use to sew it onto the head?

[@catfeline1614]

I love this, I love you, you're awesome

[@jasonhall8991]

can you show how to make a magnetic hair fluff? ^^

[@ragemutt5372]

Im case this is still relevant, Just put a magnet on top of the foam base, under the fur and insid the long fur pocket before you stuff it lmao Glue the magnet so it doesnt move around

[@luciayay2]

My first fursuit, (still making it) as hair made of felt. I am fixing it. Help me

[@niko_raiii]

Where do you get your fur it looks really good quality

[@Olimari]

Can I use this for puppets

[@MaxTheWulf]

Elk Dragon, i have a few questions but i'm sure you've been asked these many times. I know you probably don't want to deal with dumb/common questions like this and i'm sure you have better things to do, but if you happen to see this even though this comment is a week after your latest vid.. but anyhoo, its late when i'm typing this (11pm) so i don't got much time to stick around and do much research, but I am a fan of your current suit and question if you're the one that made that, if so, do you ever do any commissions? if not, that's alright, but if you could get back to me, that would be amazing, hopefully if you comment back, youtube will send me the notification sometime.. but yeah, thank you.. also i subbed to watch some of your vids later! (new to channel)
