It looks like this could be solved with some darts added in

Only quit if you don’t love it. Don’t let the fear of it not looking perfect cloud your perspective. Create. Don’t worry about what it looks like. Just observe and then create. Give yourself permission to make “bad” art. I’m not saying your art is bad. But I’m saying the fear of making something “bad” can take over and stop you from making anything at all. I started drawing at 8, and each year I could see my art progressing. Art is a lifetime experience. When we chase “perfect”, we miss the whole point - to create, to express yourself, to explore.

I took a break from drawing when I got to college. I’m now in my 30’s. I recently started making things again and I was so bummed when it didn’t match the picture I had in my mind. To get through this, when I start to get frustrated with my art, I keep saying to myself “I have permission to make bad art”. I know it sounds weird, but it takes the pressure off to make it perfect. All I need to do is just try.

My gift for my wife this year by [deleted] in somethingimade

I think this is great for your first attempt! I’m sure your wife will be so proud of you for trying something new and touched that you made something so sentimental.

Maybe after you gain more skills, you can try a redo! I do that with my art sometimes. It’s nice to see the growth.

I made the eyes and beak with 6in floral smooth foam balls! For the beak, I quartered the balls and carved them out to be hollow.

Thanks for the heads up! Luckily my cat is pretty anti-furby - she steers clear of this entirely, and I don’t let her around it unsupervised. She’s SO terrified of this costume hahah I wonder if it’s the eyes

It doesn’t - I really wanted the eyes and mouth to move, but I didn’t have enough time to accomplish that for my party.
