My art homework was to create a venetain inspired moask, so I thought I'd post it up. Please tell me what you think! I know the lighting is really bad but there is something wrong with my camera

Enjoy!
Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair.
Yeah, the lighting makes it severely hard to see what all's going on, but for now, I'll comment on what I can tell about it.
I love the swirl designs you have on it. They remind me a lot of the masks I have (I actually collect those.) That's a general theme for them, seemingly, so good on that. But, the triangle-looking thing over the right eye sort of throws it a little off. Makes it look really busy. I like it, but I think that if you keep that, then I'd suggest painting over the swirls on that side with silver, because it really is a standout thing.
The lips are beautiful--a tad crooked, but not bad at all. In fact, I think I like the lips the best. The lines coming out from the sides once again throw it off a little, but still look good.
The lining of the eyes might need a little straightening out; again, nothing a bit of paint can't fix.
The last thing is that maybe a large spray of feathers around and above the face rather than the crown would justify what you've got better. You've picked something really elegant to pull off here. Play it up more.
I like how everything seems smooth, feminine, playful and colorful. It looks well planned out, and well...It looks like something I'd collect. (Trust me, that's a very good thing.)
So if you ever want to work on it and clean it up a little, I'd love to see how it turns out. But, these are just suggestions; you don't have to take them. It really is great the way it is.
Overall, beautiful. If I were the teacher, I'd give you a good grade.
Take care, and thanks for the awesome post! Freyja

Thank you! That was so helpful, I kind of thought of some of your suggestions before but it's quite hard to alter it. Anyway, I took into account what you said, and next time I make a mask (if I ever do) I'll remember these points. Thanks for the very helful advice! Thanks again ~ Tamara

It looks wonderful!But the crown looks like it's not as well done as the mask, and it doesn't really match. I love the colors you picked!

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. — Brené Brown
