Almost Finished Now!

I have now documented my journey of making my mask. Its now almost finished and then we will be doing stuff on photo shop with pictures of our masks.

The Colour of My Mask

The colours on my mask centre around different shads of pains grey, purples and white. The colouring isn't quite what i expected it to be, but its close enough. On the back of my mask around the flowers i made it a light blue colour and I'm going to put specks of white through it on a later date, but first I'm going to finish of painting the base coat of my flowers which are going to be more purple. Then I'm going to go through my flowers and make them more defined with some different colours.

My Masks Texture

I have decided on the texture for my mask, well i did ages ago and now the texture is finished. I shall tell you what it was anyway, okay it was a dog/bear texture stretching outwards from the nose and going from the nose in many different directions so it look more interesting. That was just on the front of my mask on the back is a totally different story.

On the back of my mask i made a smooth layer with the modeling paste and then i though it was best to put something on the back to make it interesting to so i added flowers. Although this has nothing to do with my three animals it does so my randomness so its acceptable.

The big thing on top of my mask is meant to be like how the cartoon squirrel's hair sticks up and tilts to the side, i call it their wisp of hair but others may not. This was textured like the front of the mask which also worked out great, if i do say so myself.
