Hello 4chan, could you help me make a paper mask like the one in the image? I'm new to the subject and have no experience. Thanks.

it's been a while and i'm out of my depth but for paper mache I think you:
>use wire to make the base, can be a wire mesh molded to your face
>dip strips of newspaper in paper mache glue and place on front of mask for two layers, then cover the back with two layers of strips of newspaper (for the glue look up Elmer's glue + water or flour + water; other anons may have better ideas)
>cover parts of your mask with paperclay that you want to refine (you can buy this or make your own using shredded paper + water + Elmer's glue, but store-bought is smoother)
>sand
>apply smoothing compound with brush (Flexbond diluted with some water)
>paint with acrylic paint
>seal with acrylic medium or shellack
