Mask Research

I am going to be constructing the mask for Nala, a lioness for the production the Lion King. 


Nala is Simba's best friend and they are always together as cubs. Unknown to them, they are betrothed at an early age. She is playful, energetic and full of life. She is cream in colour and has blue / grey eyes. 

In the Musical Nala has a headdress. It is made of carbon graphite, a lightweight but durable material cast from a silicone mold, paint and polyester fibers. She also has facepaints. 


In reality, lionesses are more sandy brown in colour, with round ears and a black nose. I will bare this in mind when I come to making the mask.
