Mask makers, I am looking to dive into silicone mask making this year. I did latex last year and was very successful. I just need some guidance for the one and only..... core.
For coming up with your core for silicone mask casting, would this left, more rough headform work? I have my life cast on the right, and i happened to have this other form that was already a bit smaller than the actual life cast. (It only looks larger in the photo)
Does not having prominent facial features matter? I'll be adding a mouth for the lip cupping. But i was not sure what other facial features generally are reduced in size for a core. From what I understand, any undercuts are to be removed from the initial life cast. Which, as you can see, isn't much of an issue on the left one.
And in addition to this, should I sculpt on the core or is it ok to sculpt on the full sized life cast as long as I use a modified version as a core?
