I solved many issues I had, from the beginning of the design process and even from just the dry run to the actual final application.
My biggest difficulty was how to get rid of my nostrils and move them down on my face. After the dry run I realized if I colored a few pieces of cotton ball the same color as the shading on my nose and put them in last then it would look like the holes were gone.
Overall I was extremely pleased with my design and application.

I traced out the main features on my face to see what my next steps were. |
The Design
I took the main research picture I found and printed it off in black and white. From there I traced the main features of the face onto a clear sheet protector and recopied that onto a piece of paper.
I did about 4 to 5 different versions of this because I had some that just showed the facial structure of the face then some that included the highlight and shadows that I wanted to include. I knew that some of the shading I chose to do was only in the picture because of the source of light when the picture was taken, more so than the shape of the mask. Some of these I wanted to use because they gave the appearance of depth and distorted the face to resemble the mask.
I then pulled the colors out of the original research and created a color palette collage. From there I used one of my drawings of the face and colored the face to match the original with some differences made because I knew it would end up being a makeup.

This is a CGI reconstruction of what the actual Tutankhamen looked like based off of his gold funeral mask. |

Just for fun, I threw in Steve Martin doing "The Tut." |
