Making The Mask Part 3

I had decided on using the braids for the hair. These were painstaking to make, sew and glue into place. It looked so cool once it was complete though!

At first the mask was a little too black. So i decided that i was going to give it a little dry brush coat of some black with a tiny bit of white added into it. This would bring out the highlights of the mask a bit to show the cracks and the features a lot better.

I then decided that i had to do a proper photo shoot with my face painted black. To do so i would need to decide where i was going to do it and how i was going to get pictures that looked suitable.
