Mask the Second

So I decided to take a break from making things for Christmas and just paint another of the masks I had waiting.  The theme I went with was a vague fire influence. Originally it was going to be all black and gold, but having painted one half... I think it looks better like this :)

It will need varnish or something - the black keeps coming off weirdly. But in terms of the design i think i'm pretty happy. It was super quick and easy to do too! Painted entirely with Posca paint markers again of course.

So yeah, you can see the couple of white speckles on the black which is where the black hasn't 'stuck' properly. I guess if I was doing this completely properly, I would paint the mask with a white base coat first. But that's a lot of hassle for a practise design really.

This was my first time using this particular 3d paint for the lines too. The one I usually use stays rounded as it dries, unlike this. I'm not sure if i like this new paint as much, but it worked and was a LOT easier to draw smooth lines with

In Summary:

I still love painting masks
I am really pleased with the design
I need to look into getting clear varnish asap
I have many ideas for other masks now!
Posca paint markers are still the best thing ever
