For the mask you will need a few things:

- a paper mask (not shown in picture)
- some plain white air dry clay
- a paintbrush
- some black and white acrylic paint (and or grey if you have it)

Sculpting the Mask

This is the main step. You will need the air dry clay and the mask for this step, begin to sculpt the features of the face, i started from the eyebrows and worked down.

here are some things to note while doing this step: 

- The eyebrows should not just slant up, make sure they come back down so it looks more natural
- The nostrils will be flared because of the face the angel is making
- The eyes will probably be a little squinted so you will have to do this with clay as the mask won't be like that
- It is ok if the clay is not completely smooth, as stone is not perfect
- make sure you don't cover the nostril holes, or is will be very difficult to breathe inside
- If the clay is not staying on the mask very well, smooth some glue over the mask first
- Make sure the sides bland into the mask or it will look unnatural

First, mix the black and white until it is a stone grey or a grey you desire 

Paint the entire mask with that grey

add a little black into the remaining grey and paint the lowlights of the face

here are the places that should be low lighted: 

- In the creases of the eyebrows
- The inside of the eye, next to the nose
- Around the nose and mouth where it creases in
- In any creases in general

you can leave it like this or poke holes in the side of the mask and attach elastic :)

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :) enjoy.
