When developing my ideas further, I had to consider how the line drawing of the face would sit against quite a chaotic background. I had to figure out how to include both elements without either of them dominating the space entirely and overshadowing the other.
The construction of the mask began by drawing the scribbles on to the cardboard. I really liked this effect, the colour palette was bright and lively which matched the frantic lines. The dark colour of the cardboard also seemed to illuminate the pencil marks.
Then I painted out the face on to the cardboard. I wasn't happy with the result, I felt the balance between the paint and the pencil marks wasn't right. There was also the issue of visibility - with such fine lines, the face might not be seen in photos.
Seeing as the first attempt didn't work, I sketched out a few more ideas. It was important that the new designs would be simple yet distinct, and visible from afar. The new face would be applied to a 'cloud' shape that was more defined than the previous one.
