I sculpted this mask from chavant by eye as a small prototype. Experimenting with symmetry and using the grid of masks I drew out (posted earlier) as a reference, this didn't take too long to do, and could potentially now go on to be molded and cast in resin, ready to be painted up.
I based this mask shape on a small garden bird or budgerigar.
As opposed to the last sculpted project I had, which was the three character faces for stop motion puppets, this was sculpted entirely 3D rather than having a flat back to it. I think this did make a difference to the end result; this mask is more curved and has more attention to the sides I think. I was easier to see the direction the sculpt was taking during the sculpting process, and I didn't have to remember to keep turning it in order to examine the side profile, as it was constantly in a state of being moved.
