Ken on making his mask

I started out by making sketches on paper. Based on the sketches I redrew the mask on the computer, then printed out the outline of the mask.

My Mask 1

 

I then transferred the printout onto a cereal box using a pencil and cut out the beak and mask shapes separately, stapling the beak to the mask.
I added paper mache on both sides then applied a layer of plaster to smooth the paper mache out.
I sanded the surface smooth then applied a coat of white paint, adding some  3D paint to give the surface some patterned texture.

I painted the final colour and added and elastic to hold it on.
It did not sit on the face as I would have likes so I got soft sponges and glued them to the inside of the mask to make it more comfortable.
