Artist Statement: I encountered a number of different nice things when trying to make this piece, I think I did a good job on the nose and mask, making my mask curve around my head. I used only graphite for this. I struggled with my hair, I made it lopsided and very noticeable at the top. This is the top thing I wish I could go back on after making this. The hair.
