I've never made one myself, but my bf's kid was modding dino masks from Target for a while. I've seen people do some really cool stuff with it too. Maybe something I like that would be a good place to start out before you invest a bunch of materials into it.
I've had friends make masks out of big things of foam but its hard to make it look nice and be actually breathable.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but best of luck and keep at it.

ive dabbled and watched a bunch of fursuit making videos. just know fur takes up lot of space and when you get it you WILL be sneezing due to loose fibers ;; . Its important to eta good pet shaver and vacuum for shaving fur. there a bunch of different brands that can get a close shave.
also waching fursuit making videos is a good way to get an idea of how most makers work!

Matrices has some great tutorials! Search for tutorials on YouTube, that helped me learn when I was first starting out a few years ago. I know you said video tutorials sort of confuse you, but honestly once you actually start working on it in person, the hands-on-ness of it helps teach you how stuff works. This is my most recent suit! He's due for a refurbish soon where I'll make him fluffier and add slightly bigger eyes more a more expressive look (and the added ventilation is always a huge bonus!) If you have any more specific questions about materials or the process feel free to reply to the thread with said questions or IM me on here! I'm always happy to help ^^
