Masks, please?

Post by Swapnil Das »

Hi, there! So, I've been quite interested in Masks these days (Especially because of the fascinating Masks by Joseph Wu) and I've been looking for some interesting Mask diagrams but haven't found any. Can anyone suggest some great masks that are very realistic?

Thanks.

The best mask in my opinion is Eric Joisel's.

Yes, if you can get this booklet of Eric Joisel, it contains basis and hints to create great pieces.

Look into Joel Cooper's work. His masks are really complex, but you might find them worth trying.

Tomoko Fuse published a book of masks a few years back.

Often faces can be done by yourself if you take the time to look at masks done by others. You may find that through trying to imitate and reverse engineer, your folding will be greatly benefited.

On the topic of other masks, my favourite origami masks are done by the late Roy Iwaki. Google him and hopefully you will be as impressed as I am.

Fox mask by Alicuche

Peasent mask by Sergio L. Guarachi V.

I've only folded the Fox mask, which is pretty cool!

In Jun Maekawa's book Genuine Origami there is a devil mask and a tiger mask. Also it is completely coincidental that I reference Jun Maekawa's book all the time. And yes I have more origami books.
Ouch! Are you okay? Well...let's see.. advanced box-pleating techniques, Satoshi Kamiya, yeah I'm good. If you fall down nine times get up ten times.
