Sketches
Final Product
Explanation of creating the mask: I used the elements of rhythm and pattern because I was trying to get something from each mask that I was inspired by.
Opinion: My opinion towards the mask was that I wish I was able to draw the lines a bit more straighter and to make the top and bottom identical towards each other. I wanted to use more colors on the mask,but I didn't want to get the whole idea of African mask wrong because all I've seen are the colors, brown, grey (I had to use black since I didn't have grey), yellow and blue.
