I am actually in a very similar position. My head looks like the before right now. :C
This is a very sweet gesture on your part.

I highly recommend referencing photos of your desired animal and very sharp scissors haha. I hope you are able to get it looking more like what you wanted ^^

good luck :D

Awesome way to encourage someone to not give up on what they're doing.

That was very nice of you to do! It's a long process, and foam sculpting can be frustrating if you just can't seem to get the desired shape you are going for.

I highly recommend taking a few pictures of your foam head in different profiles and then sketching your desired shapes over it. Helps pinpoint how much more foam you need, symmetry problems, etc... Also taking a step back for a couple hours/a day and looking at your foam head again with fresh eyes helps.

Hope they continue with their project and building! Best of luck to them!

It's amazing how different it looks before compared to after. Wonderful job!

How did you get the foam so smooth??
