Tips for the Chunky Beluga Shape
The beluga's charm is its big rounded forehead, called a melon, so shape the head with gradual increases that create that distinctive dome. The body tapers to a small tail with flukes, and two tiny flippers sit at the sides. Keep the face simple with a sweet embroidered smile, because belugas always look happy.
