I modeled the mask with a monkey's face as reference. I shaped each part of the face- the cheekbones, nose and mouth separately. Then, I stuck the parts to the main face using a clay/water mix in 3:1 ratio. This mixture acted like a glue to fix new parts to the face.

I waited for the mask to dry and then started the painting process using acrylics.

I added more details so that it resembled an African tribal mask.

After finishing up the details I allowed the paint to dry. This is the final result.
