Draw
a stylised eye about halfway down the light sheet.
Stylised
or exaggerated features are used to help express more
abstract qualities like nobility, integrity, courage,
fear and humour.
Cut
out the eye shape, flip it over and place it on the dark
sheet to form a symmetrical arrangement.
You
will now begin to see the counterchange of pattern which
will be used throughout this mask design - a perfect balance
between dark and light, positive and negative.
This
illustration depicts some alternative designs for stylised
eyes.
