To build out the 3D relief of the skull face, I used lots of different cheap, lightweight materials: foam board, foam insulation tubing, random pieces of styrofoam, scraps of pasteboard from food packaging, etc. When the glue was dry, the base was nice and sturdy. You can do this by planning out your drawings/tracings to not be positioned on the foam board in the exact same way.) (Pro tip for making a base that’s two layers of foam board like this: It’s important to make sure the seams between your foam board sheets don’t line up with each other otherwise the base will be weaker, and prone to bending. This will be the back surface of the skull decoration. I glued the two big layers of foam board together and set books on them to help them dry flat. I then traced the entire skull face shape onto a second set of six foam board sheets taped together (60″ x 60″) and cut that one out. I taped these two halves together with packing tape on both sides. I then cut out the half-skull shape with my X-acto knife, flipped it over, and traced it onto a second 30″ x 60″ panel to make the other side of the skull face. Anyway, I drew one half of the skull face this way. To transfer the small drawing to this large surface I used that trick with a grid you know what I’m talking about. This is the size of half of the skull face. I took three pieces of 30″ x 20″ foam board and taped them together with packing tape on both sides to make a panel that’s 30″ x 60″.
