Draw
a simple outline for the face on the light paper.
This
could be oval, circular, rectangular, elongated, heart-shaped,
animal-shaped or human, or any combination of these.
Different
outline shapes will give you different expressive effects.
Cut
around the outline of the face and leave the remaining
face shape in position.
Then
take the background shape, flip it over to the other side
and align it with the vertical centre line. This will
create the background for the other side of the face,
while its negative space will define the other side of
the head.
This
example is designed to form the shape of a heart - a symbol
often used in mask design.
