Oni Mask/ sketch (2021)

Art, Masks, masks, Sculptures

Besides painting, I also love to sculpt masks.

After I finished my Rabbit mask (click here to see the project), some friends of mine wanted me to make plaster masks for them too.

One of them, Duc, wanted me to do a dark blue/grayish Oni mask for him. These are the sketches. The mask actually exists- but it isn’t finished and I haven’t worked on it in a looooong while. Maybe I can take a picture of it one day.

You can see the process of me taking a plaster mask off his face underneath the sketches.

The reason why it isn’t finished is, that I am not happy with the current state of it. Right now it even has details, teeth (made out of fimo) and is painted, but it is simply too heavy and not symmetrical enough for my liking.

Ink sketch: Skull

Art, Drawing

During 2020 I started to feel like tattooing would be something that I enjoy. Until today I still haven’t started actually learning how to do it, but the wish has never left and nowadays I am actually planning on learning in within the next year or something.

I tried out typical Ink Styles and this skull was one of the first things I drew in that kind of style.

I only now realized that I dated it was “2020” but I remember (and my phone also says the same) that I finished it on the 1rt of January 2021.

I also remember, that I listened to a Big-Food “the three investigators” (German: die drei ???) Audiobook while drawing it.
