Hello, My name is Carson, I, an 11 year old learning about creature design and want to create a costume. The costume is a Dilophosaurus and would like some advice on materials and where to begin. Look forward to hearing your suggestions. Thank you, Carson

Some easy/safe materials to start out with would be upholstery foam, fabric, and liquid latex. The foam can be trimmed to shape using scissors, and covered with fabric and liquid latex to form a skin.
Ted Haines' lesson series on foam fabrication is a great place to start:

Chris. thank you so much chris!!!!! this is just what I needed! thank you I was inspired by the veliciraptor costume by scotty zod.....what are some of the thing you have made.
As far as what kinds of things I've made, that's a long list. I got started making things when I was around your age, and decades later I'm still at it! At the moment I'm working on an animatronic creature suit, a robot, a custom circuit board design, a software application for video projection, and CNC mill. But to be honest, the real thing I need to work on right now is cleaning up the mess in my shop.
