Bird Masks: Further sculptures and experiments

Above: Three finished experimental sculpts, all done with a tin foil core and based off of different breeds of birds. 

I decided to try and use tin foil as a base for these head sculpts, as a means of saving time and materials. While the experiment was successful in that sense it was really difficult to get symmetrical sculpts, as can be seen in the last image above; the tin foil was naturally uneven, so the sculpt was too. In terms of mould making this imbalance may not matter so much, but if I were to go ahead and cast this I think that aesthetically it looks unprofessional and lop-sided. 

Above shows how the eye holes are uneven, and also some texturing and smoothing I had been playing with.
