Some of you longtime Monster Makers Customers will recognize this mask called the Immortal. It was originally created in 1994 at a time when Monster Makers was producing a small line of masks for sale. For Horrowshow Magazine #6, a new color scheme was called for to demostrate a different painting effect using the the Iwata eclipse and FW Inks as well as Mask Paint.
Latex Halloween Masks can be painted in a variety of ways and this demo shows you how to combine two different approaches. Regardless of which painting technique you choose to use, the way to get really good at this is to practice, pratice, practice. Enjoy!
