Begin creating an articulated monster mask with Patrick Magee, creature effects artist and founder of Magee FX: bit.ly/ArticulatedMaskPt1YT

In Part 1, Magee guides you through his complete mask-sculpting workflow — from blocking out primary forms on a life cast using WED clay, to establishing anatomical structure and facial features, to refining symmetry, secondary forms, and layered skin texture — leading to a finished mask sculpture ready for molding.

You will learn tips, tricks, and techniques for #sculpting a monster mask, including:
- How to build up primary forms on a life cast with WED clay
- How to build out a creature's bone structure and refine it
- How to shape ears based on an animal (in this case, a bat) and human ear anatomy
- How to add facial muscles, realistic veins, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture
- How to add dimensions to highlight areas on your sculpture
