I don't think I've ever seen a mask made out of spiderwebs, but I think it works. Overall, the color and composition really make me think of nature, not in a clean faerie magical way, but in the nitty-gritty way, the kind of nature that builds and destroys without mercy. It's not a mask someone made from nature. It's a mask MADE by nature, and, like nature, it's still evolving, it seems. That alone earns by respect.

I like to use only the colors I need for a drawing, and so the use of green and black and white drew me in. It would have been very easy for the face to get lost in just one or two colors, but there is enough highlight on the face to give it shape and personality.

My only real criticism on the piece, and it's a very minor one, is the way the hair was drawn. It's too perfect. I would be curious to see this piece but with tussled, natural hair. While it creates an interesting contrast to the twig and web mask, it seemed slightly out of place.

However, it doesn't deter much from the drawing's other successful attributes. I loved the idea and the execution, as well as the detail around the eyes, though I'm a little sad that the twigs partially cover them. This is still an amazing piece, though, and I would be interested in hearing where the idea of the spiderweb and twig mask originated.
