In today's lesson we were doing Death mask, which was a lot of fun. First we took a picture of us in black and white under a light to see where the shadows and highlight in our face are.
Products used:
- sponges
- Kryolan supercolour, white and black; mix them to achieve the grey tones you need
- brush kit: foundation brush, smaller brushes for small areas
I started with applying the white supercolour all over my face. For applying the base I used my foundation brush but later when applying the black and grey tones I used sponges because it was easier to blend with them without having to harsh lines. Then I had a look at the picture of myself where I have dark shadows and started working on them. I started with the eye area first. Then the mouth and chin/cheeks area. Afterwards I did the grey tones and then I had to blend blend blend. Parts that were too dark I lightened up with some white.After I was done I took pictures in black and white modus and compared them with my original black and white picture.
After comparing the pictures I realized I could have done the mouth part, cheeks and under the eyes a bit darker.
