Traced a shape of a basic mask out of a cereal box; Making sure that the eyes are comfortable, avoiding to lose eyesight perspective with the mask.
Utilizing the basic mask shape, traced the basic shape and from there started my design. Cutting the outside shape with scissors on one side; Then Folded the mask in half so both sides are equal and trace the shape with a marker and cut.
Utilizing a piece of wood to avoid damaging the work surface.
Upcycled paper from a magazine for the next steps layer after layer achieves a strong mask.
Layer after layer achieves a strong mask.
After it dries it's time to paint texture.
Bidimensional acrylic paint covers

Textured to look as the bark from a tree
And for sure is difficult to smile with a mask.
