I reccomend using several layers of masking tape instead of duct tape for patterning your head! It's so much easier to cut, and a lot more forgiving in my experience.

If the markings on your head are symmetrical, just tape half of the head, and transfer the tape pattern onto saran wrap, and boom, same pattern for both sides of the face.

Label everything. Can't tell you how many times I've gotten lost making suits because I forgot to label stuff.

If you choose to line your suit, use lycra, quilted broadcloth (what I use), or quilting fabrics. Never use fleece, as fleece is an insulator and can cause you to overheat.

If this is a personal suit, try it on constantly to make sure the fit, vision, and ventilation are all perfect for you. But always make sure the hot glue is cooled first! I've made that mistake a time or two.

If necessary, shave the fur before sewing/putting on the head. It'll make your life so much easier.

If using e6000 for anything (I attach teeth and ears using it) give your suit at least 7 days to air out before wearing.

I like to put vents in the cheeks and inside the ears for additional ventilation. Totally a personal choice.

Matrices.net has some awesome tutorials also, if you're looking for more advice or tips!

I hope at least one of these is able to help you!
