I think my second attempt at making a mask turned out much better than my first! Any tips or ideas welcome 🥹 This is my OC, Willow ☺️❤️

Hello! I've just made my first ever therian mask [pictured] and wanted to get some thoughts/advice for the next one I make.

Two things I specifically would like advice on:

1. Best paint/methods for faux fur coloring. I used acrylic paint for my whole thing and it left the faux fur very dry/clumpy

2. Best ratio/methods for painting on the felt. I did use a premium felt. I found my finished mask felt pretty soft/flexible, rather than the original stiffness I began with for the mask base. I also noticed while painting, sometimes the colors would bleed/spread out rather than stay in the one area I painted.

Any thoughts or opinions appreciated!
