Rachel 5/11/10



Two more mask designs, again in oil pastel.

For the one on the left, i was going for an older female face, with a sort of wry happy expression. The one on the right is based on this really beefy bald man's face i found, in which he looked sort of ominous and sad.

I'm not as happy with either of these as with yesterday's masks--these look kind of superhero-ish to me. Or, maybe supervillainy. I saw Iron Man 2 yesterday so maybe that is subconsciously influencing my perception. I enjoy drawing these, and using the oil pastel medium, so i will probably keep doing them in variations on this theme until i get six i want to actually make for real.

I'm open to suggestion, if anybody's got a challenge for a facial expression or a stock Commedia character to render...
