[African Masks] Reflection V

After that lesson, I went in after school again to try to finish up. I really didn't know how to make my mask fluffy. The only thing I knew was that the material I should use was cotton because it's soft and fluffy! But I just didn't know how to put cottons onto my mask. China suggested that I should just dip the cottons into the water+paint and replace them on the 'down-cheek' part where there were red and brown patterns! First I totally disagree because I said that I would definitely not take off my whiskers. I also said that it might become a mess and it might fail. But in the end I didn't really have a choice. I tooked the whiskers off and started. China helped me dip the cottons into the red and brown paint that was mixed with water. We had to dip it in one by one and make sure it's filled with paint. Then squeeze it to let the unnecessary paint come out. Then use our fingers to squeeze it to make sure that it looks like a square so that it fits the pattern I already made. When I finished, I went to dry the cottons with the dryers. Back then I was really worried because it turned out to look not so good because it smudged the black marker lines and from squeezing it, I also dropped some paint on the face. When it started to dry, it looked better and I think it was pretty good. I fixed up the face by painting yellow over the stained spots and I also outline everything that was smudged again.

This is the picture of my mask, in the process of putting the red cottons down:
