Developing from my previous paper mask, I decided to move the nose so that it would protrude from between the eyes. I also decided to experiment with 3D forms on the mask. In particular I wanted to emphasise certain characteristics of a bear's face such as the nose, cheeks and brow.
During my experimentation, I noted that the nose was far long, despite the fact i really liked the shape. The cheeks were also successful, but seemed to block the eyes a little. Keeping Ellie's guidance in mind, i decided to emphasise the eyes in the next mask with application of colour.
Before making the next mask, i started experimenting, remaking elements of the first mask adding colour and pattern. I think some of these samples such as the cheeks are a little too extravagant and might confuse the audience to what they are. Instead I intend to next experiment with these patterns and materials inside the ears. The strip samples however are much better (these go above the brow). They may look quite effective.
I am only half through making the next mask. I have made a few changes to the structure, such as making the nose shorter and fatter and changing the shape of the eyes. Also I have started adding colour to see what works well to highlight elements of the face.
As you can see from the first two images, I experimented with different templates for the face. I decided on making the mask more stereotypical to laval masks, but making the template more rounded. The bottom two images, you can how the mask is developing with colour. I opted for more simplistic pattern on this mask. I think so far this mask is going well. I don't really like the nose on this one, so i may later replace it.
